Mavic Pro Timelapse Tutorial in 4K | Record and Edit Tips

If you want to know how to create a timelapse video with your Mavic Pro, today I show you the easiest way to do it. I've already done a video on comparing the photo method and the video method, but this video will get you started on making your own awesome Mavic Pro time lapse video.

4 things will help to playback your footage smoothly, go to the sequence setting and set the preview size to 960x540 instead of 1920x1080. Also, I can see that you are playing back the footage at 1/2 resolution, you change this to 1/4 or even 1/8 which will playback even smoother (but in a lower quality). In addition, USE proxy files, I highly recommend it, I could edit my 4K footages with a normal laptop by using proxy files. Lastly, if you are storing your files on an external hard drive, make sure to use an SSD hard drive it will significantly improve the editing process. Regarding the split of the video, I guess that your video size is larger than 4GB and that you card format is FAT32.

For beginners without software editing you could use YouTube creator . They have a slow motion and time lapse feature.

Very instructive video. I will use many of your tips and tricks. However, when I think about it... The mavic pro only captures 4k in 30fps max. When timelapsing, you can easily get that framerate much higher, like say 60fps to smoothen everything. It doubles the rendering time, but gives a very smooth looking timelapse!

Thanks for another great video for us newbies! You do a good job explaining at the common person's level. I'll be trying a time lapse soon.

finally i know how to edit my timalapse video using premiere pro insted of mavic software..tq

Hi, yes, the max file size is 4Gb, the same happens if you use a Zoom video recorder. You get the full concert (I'm filming my son's band) but it's split into several files of 4Gb

Excellent tutorial. Liked and Subscribed. Been into Quads for 3 yrs and the Mavic is my favorite. My Blade Chroma still takes comparable video though. Thanks for all the tips and explanations.

Thanks for this I was going to ask how you did your videos.

[rogerlc]

Look at formatting your card in X fat. You will get longer clips before starting the next clip. I have done this yet for the Mavic 3 pro. But in my video cameras it will brake files into larger clips.

[catalinnemes]

If your microSD is formatted in FAT32, it cannot store files larger than 4GB. Your first clip seems to stop just short of that mark.

Russ can you do a video on live-streaming to Facebook live with mavic 2 pro and smart controller. Thanks EJ

Hi! Is this really the state of the art video stabilization? Am I the only one who thinks the wobbling ground is annoying? Has the technology improved since 2017?

I like your videos. Keep up the good work!

If you'd put a WayPoint in there and not left it as just a static flight, you wouldn't have noticed the Warp Effect so much, as the ground does swell in your final version. You'll also get a better effect using TimeLapse instead of just filming, but, horses for courses I suppose.

I'm a beginner also. Lol. But this video definitely educational. My MAVIC came Wednesday. I subscribed to your channel cause. I'm trying to learn as much as possible.

[michaelpakadronermike]

Perfect timing. I am planning on trying a couple time lapses this weekend. One question. Did you use a ND filter on the camera or did you shoot without one?

[emilianavelez]

I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them, also If you want to export this time-lapse to your phone what format should you use? I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and try H.264, H.265 but the phone doesn't read those

[genegeheb]

How do you live stream. We have a July 4 parade coming soon. My wife doesn't go so I'd like to fly my drone and stream it live for her.

Thanks for the lesson! Question: I find it hard to justify paying $20+ monthly just to edit with Adobe Premiere Pro CC. First what happened to owning software? Second, is there any other software out there, without a monthly subscription, that will get you great results in video editing. Thanks! DB
