Jetty aerial photography course
Not just aerial photography
When I was making the Jetty aerial photography course, I mainly considered some applications in the late aerial photography. However, with the communication with the vast number of flying friends during the production process, especially after the exchanges between the flying hands and WeChat groups, I found that everyone is not only interested in aerial photography. Photography and video production are all techniques that have been conceived, so the course is gradually enriched, not just in the field of aerial photography. However, the name still retains the name of the original Jetty Aerial Course. The current curriculum series has been very rich, including: aerial photography, aerial video post, photo stitching topics, time-lapse photography, mobile phone post-production, third-party control drone software and so on. In order to facilitate the reader's access to the course, I used a two-level numbering and conducted a preliminary classification. You can easily understand the approximate content of the course through the course serial number and the course number. Each series update is irregular. According to the needs of the flying hands and the time schedule of my side, here are some simple introductions.
Course series introduction
01 "The whole process of aerial photo production"
The most basic requirement for aerial photography is to take photos. The so-called whole process is to explain the whole process of a photographer's photo to the whole process, from shooting parameters to post-retouching and watermarking. This course is based on Lightroom software and is divided into 6 parts.
01-01 "Parameter Settings for Aerial Photo Shooting"
The basis of an aerial photograph is established during the shooting process. If the exposure parameters and settings are not correct, it cannot be repaired later. So let's start with how to set the parameters, all set up, then press the shutter.
01-02 "Basic Processing of Aerial Photo Lightroom"
The basic processing includes lens correction for photos (most of the lenses of the drone are wide-angle lenses, which will be distorted), noise removal, and frame cutting.
01-03 "Level 1 of Lightroom Photo"
The color is divided into one level and two level. The definition of the first level color is the adjustment of the partial motion. The basic adjustment is to adjust the light part of the picture, that is, the bright part and the dark part, and adjust the white balance in color. Keep the details of the photo, pull out the contrast, increase the saturation, and more.
01-04 "Second Color Tone of Lightroom Photo"
Secondary color grading is a more advanced color grading method that makes local adjustments more precise, changing its brightness, saturation, hue, etc. for a single color.
01-05 "Lightroom output photos and add watermarks"
Lightroom can output a variety of photos, and directly add the previously created LOGO or watermark to the output.
01-06 "How does Ai make anti-theft watermarks"
Use Ai software (ie Illustrate) to create a transparent bottom LOGO.
02 " aerial photo stitching course"
Ordinary aerial photography has many limitations, and we can use some of the later processing to improve this early deficiency. Splicing is a common method. We can use PTGui software to make stitched pictures and VR panoramic photos. Note that the VR panorama is different from the panoramic mode that is commonly used in our mobile phones. It is a 360-degree panorama and needs to be uploaded to websites such as 720 Cloud and Sky City for normal viewing.
02-01 "Splicing method of aerial photos"
You can adjust the camera angle of the drone at the time of shooting, take a wider angle, and then use the post-software PTGui to combine these photos into a wider-format photo. You can also use this technique to make vertical-frame photos.
02-02 "How to make panoramic photos"
Nowadays, the popular VR360 panoramic photo can be produced by using the drone. We can use the ground station software such as Dronepan or Litchi to shoot with one button, and then use the PTGui software to synthesize it. It also needs to make up the sky, because the drone can't Start shooting the photo part of the sky.
03 "Aerial Time Lapse Photography Course"
Time-lapse photography is the hottest technology in the field of photography and video production. With the help of drones, time-lapse photography is more beautiful. However, compared with SLR, the drone is very difficult to make, because the drone will drift in the shooting to cause various jitters. Later, we need to use the debounce software AE to reduce the jitter, but even so, the drone extension Photography is also a photography art that requires luck.
03-01 "Basic Flow of Aerial Photography"
First of all, you need to know some basic principles of time-lapse photography, then I will tell you some innate defects of the drone's delay, how to overcome these defects, it is hard to let the drone shoot delay, what method we need.
03-02 "Operation Method for Shooting Air Delay"
The theoretical knowledge has been given. Below we will give you a simulation of how to set the drone shooting parameters in the air. The actual pre-shooting process will explain to you. In this way, you will get a sequence of aerial time-lapse photos, which we can prepare for post-processing.
03-03 "Production Process of Time-lapse Photography (Late)"
Explain how to use the LRTimelapse and Lightroom software to complete the post-production process of time-lapse photography. This process is not only available for aerial delay, but normal SLR delay can also be used. The time-lapse video produced in this way, the light changes very smoothly, and the color transition is very smooth. It is also the most popular lesson in the Jetty course.
03-04 "Airborne Debounce Method"
The difficulty of air delay is whether it can successfully shake. We introduced three different debounce methods, PS stack method, FCPX debounce plug-in, and the strongest AE VFX motion tracking debounce plug-in. Of course, it is not difficult to shake back later, but whether you can shake it successfully depends on whether the previous shooting was successful.
03-05 The Holy Grail Operation Method
This lesson is for SLR time-lapse photography. We often shoot sunrises and sunsets, which are called day-turning nights. At this time, the light changes very much. The previous shooting requires constant manual adjustment of the shooting parameters, but how to put them in the later stage. This manual adjustment is smooth and smooth, and you need the Holy Grail process in LRTimelapse. This lesson details how to activate the Holy Grail process and create a time-lapse video of a single day and night.
03-06 "Aeronautical day-to-night delay photography production method"
The aerial day and night, due to the drone's battery life problem, can not be used for a long time shooting with the Holy Grail process, we recommend a compromise method, using the day and night two video synthesis, simulation day and night effect. Here we explain the use of FCPX software for post-synthesis. Later, the flying hand group friend Deng Sir also made a simple tutorial, using PR to complete this part of the later production.
04 "Mobile Phone Play Aerial Course"
Now the performance of mobile phones is getting stronger and stronger. There are a lot of photo softwares in the post, and the software for video editing is also constantly being introduced. The flying hands have always been concerned about these software products. For the best works, it will be promoted in the aerial photography course and related tutorials. for everyone.
04-01 "Using DJI GO to Make Aerial Films"
The application that comes with DJI can be edited directly by mobile phone or tablet after the filming is completed. The editing method is novel, suitable for the operation of the mobile phone screen, and the functions are also relatively complete, with soundtrack, simple coloring and shifting. However, the end of the DJI's LOGO will be added at the end, which is somewhat unpleasant. Once the clip is complete, you can upload it directly to the Sky City website to share your circle of friends.
04-02 "Friends Circle 10 Seconds Video Artifact - VUE"
VUE is the most frequently used video editing software I use on the mobile phone. It is free and powerful, and the update is very frequent. Fresh functions are emerging. And it is very convenient to arrange the split lens and video duration, 10 seconds of video production is directly sent to the circle of friends, it is really great.
05 "Aerial Video Course Skills Course"
This series of courses is different from the FCPX course. The courses here tend to be late in the video. Regardless of the software, as long as the practical skills are included, it will not be updated regularly. There are good ways for the group to recommend it. .
05-01 "Dalian DLOG Mode Quick Coloring - How to Use LUT"
When shooting video, DJI has not only a variety of color modes, but also a DLOG curve mode suitable for post-grading. The video captured in this mode is lighter in color and retains more details. Da Vinci can be used later. Such as professional color correction software for coloring. We are talking about the simplest method of color grading, directly applying the LUT, and in this way, making a large effect in a few seconds.
05-02 "How to Add LUTS in Premiere2017"
After the last lesson, I talked about how to load LUTs in FCPX for coloring. Many group friends want to use LUT to color, but Jetty's own craftsmanship is not good, and Premiere can't teach you to use. Now, I am learning to sell now, you can follow these steps to try to use the PR for LUT application.
06 "Ground Station Software Course"
The ground station software, which can be installed by mobile phone or tablet, and the software for flight control of the drone, I call him the ground station software here. In addition to DJI GO in DJI, the well-known ground station software has DS Pro in DJI, and Litchi (Litchi) which is the most commonly used by Feiyou. With these softwares, it's a piece of cake to shoot perfect movies and panoramic images.
06-01 Introduction to Route Planning for Litchi Course
The famous Litchi, this course is just a brief introduction to some of Litchi's features, the operation is slower due to the need for a lot of tests to record.
07 "Aeronautical Video Production FCPX Full Process Course"
Due to personal preference, I prefer to use Apple computers and use Mac systems, so the final aspect of the video has been using Finalcut. The editing efficiency of FCPX on Apple computers is unquestionable. The format MOV recorded by DJI in UAV can be very smoothly edited in FCPX.
07-01 "Production of MTV Aerial Video"
For those who have experience in post-editing, this class is most necessary, and I have been exploring for a long time to find a suitable production process. From shooting completion, import, rough cut, soundtrack, color, fine cut, subtitle, output. The whole process is demonstrated and explained, so that you can have an epiphany feeling for this editing software.
07-02 "Finalcut Operation Interface Details"
The five major interfaces of Finalcut are introduced in detail, so that you can quickly understand the purpose and operation of each panel.
07-03 "Finalcut's Resource Library"
The resource library is the most important concept in FCPX. It is a collection of all material and timeline projects. It does not manage the resource library. Your hard disk space will be swallowed up instantly. Clever use of proxy editing can make your editing work more efficient. Management A good resource library is the beginning of editing.
07-04 "Detailed Video Format"
What format is the video you are shooting, what is the encoding of the hard disk you output, why the video you uploaded is not clear enough, etc. The question is not bothering you for a long time, then we will package and solve them together.
07-05 Tips for Timeline Editing
You can use the mouse, you can also use the shortcut keys, many times you want to edit efficiently, you can't do without a lot of shortcuts. This lesson is not for you to put the shortcuts down. We will demonstrate step by step, let you logically Write them down and make you a fast knife.
08 "Playing with OSMO Series Courses"
Dajiang has launched the handheld stabilizer OSMO, which has greatly helped us to shoot on the ground. This series of courses will take a look at how to play OSMO.
08-01 "The perfect partner for OSMO Mobile - Filmic Pro"
OSMO M can not only shoot videos with DJI GO, we also have powerful third-party software - Filmic Pro, which is a professional software that can make movies with mobile phones. With the handheld stabilizer, you can shoot more beautiful pictures.
00 "Jetty's Mini Class"
The problem of many flying friends in the flying hand group is a very simple operation. The long-spoken Jetty aerial photography course is obviously not suitable, so I have specially made some mini-courses for some questions that I often ask. Generally within 5 minutes, it is convenient for everyone to check.
