This is my first attempt at producing something with drone video that is not boring or painful to watch. The footage I captured with my new Tarot T-2D and GoPro had some vibration and lighting issues, but this edit is the best of what I did get.

I used LightWorks to edit the video, add the music, and to increase the contrast - the raw video from the GoPro was a little washed out. I've ordered a neutral density filter to try to help with that. Lightworks is as quirky as any other NLE I've used, but it was solid, runs on linux, and is available by monthly subscription so I could try it out without a big investment.

There is some obvious jello at some speeds. I'm going to try to address that with some tuning of PIDs and maybe some different props. The ND filter will hopefully help with that a bit as well. For this footage, I may try to stabilize the video with Blender and see if that helps.

Here's another short video of just a 360-degree yaw, shot in 60fps and slowed down to 30.

Does anyone else use linux? If so, what's your workflow?
