The world of video editing software can be a strange one.
The latest trend in the drone industry is drones that are capable of capturing footage from perspectives inaccessible by human beings, such as flying through tight crevices or hovering over crowds. This provides new possibilities for filmmakers and videographers, but it also poses challenges to those who use editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X. Drone videos often contain jarring cuts or jumpy camera angles that make them difficult to edit with traditional tools, which rely on smooth transitions between shots. Here are 9 tweets about this challenging task!

Over the past few years, there has been an increase in people using drones to film video footage. However, editing drone videos can be tricky because it’s not a regular type of footage that we typically edit like home movies or selfies. Drone videos require special software and so does this content!
What is one thing you would never expect from someone who edits drone footage?
Being extremely skilled at Boggle which requires a strong vocabulary but also strategic thinking skills A good memory for acronyms since they often appear on screen with no context given as to what they are -Having a high tolerance for motion sickness used by some editors when dealing with aerial shots of cars driving around corners (or even a person sitting in a car).
What are some of the common mistakes people make when editing drone footage? Insufficiently syncing audio to video -Failing to change clip length (some drones have clips with different lengths) and this can lead to choppy cuts. -Not using an appropriate mix of slow motion, time lapse, or normal speed footage for each scene.
Dragging out shots that would be better served by cutting them short due to limited space on the edit timeline which results in too many quick edits where nothing is given enough time to sink in. This is often because shooters were unsure about how long they wanted their shot/scene last so they unnecessarily left it at full length without including any indication that they would like to cut it shorter.
Cutting a clip too short and not giving the viewer time to absorb what is happening on screen
Trying to make every edit perfectly smooth by using transitions that are inappropriate for the content or scene being edited, which can result in distracting cuts without adding anything of value.
What should be avoided?
A few things we recommend you avoid while editing drone footage include: -Adding unnecessary effects (such as slow motion) when not appropriate because this distracts from an otherwise solid video without any additional benefit. -Lack of creativity with camera angles during shots/scenes, opting instead for just pointing the camera straight ahead at whatever is happening rather than trying different perspectives such as from the ground or from behind someone.
What should be considered? -Mixing things up with your shot angles to make video more dynamic and interesting rather than just a straight-ahead point of view -Cutting out any unneeded transitional effects, such as slow motion, to keep videos moving at an appropriate pace without sacrificing quality for smoothness. \*Keep in mind that these are only suggestions and there is no “right” way when it comes to editing drone footage; feel free to experiment!\
