Mastershots – Complete Guide

Mastershots is a popular feature of DJI Drones. It allows a pilot to create a somewhat professional video packed with creative maneuvers in just a couple of minutes. From a completely automated flight to the final 30 second (or less) tightly edited video, with music… it only takes a couple of clicks. This video is a complete guide to Mastershots. We start out with an Introduction which covers a high-level overview of the steps and includes other important information and some tips. Next, we show how to capture the raw footage that will be used to produce the final composition. We’ll show a couple important settings. Then, we show composing the final video itself. We also go over posting to social media from the Controller and finally we jump into the topic of producing the final Mastershot video in 4k. 00:00 Start 00:47 Introduction to Mastershots 01:23 2 Step Process 02:00 Modes 02:15 Mini 3 Pro 02:28 Other Tips 02:57 Recording the Drone Raw Footage 03:00 Before Mastershots Mode 03:35 Selecting the Subject 04:00 Width, Length & Height Settings 04:53 Selecting Resolution & Exposure 05:32 Obstacle Avoidance Settings 07:31 The Flight 08:29 Composing the Mastershot Video 10:44 Posting to Social 11:44 Producing a 4k Video 11:45 Known Issue 12:31 Using the Drone Recording is Better 13:02 Social Media Resolutions 13:18 Why Shoot in 4k? 13:47 The Workaround 14:24 Final Mastershot Video Drones that support Mastershots according to DJI Support: DJI Air 2S, DJI Air 3, DJI Mini 3 Pro, DJI Mavic 3 series (not Enterprise editions) Links mentioned in the video: Posting to Social Media from the Controller: https://youtu.be/-Iid55nUn_M Installing 3rd Party Apps on the RC Pro: https://youtu.be/a2AYMdwCpZY Path to File Locations: On the Controller (located on internal or SD Card depending on setting) • Raw Footage auto-cached on Controller (~2 Mins in Length): \Android\data\dji.go.v5\files\MediaCaches • Raw Footage from drone if downloaded to the controller in resolution shot (~2 Mins in Length): \DCIM\DJI Album\ • Composed Mastershots file: \Android\data\dji.go.v5\cache\mastershot\compose On the Drone • Raw Footage (resolution will be as shot): \DCIM\100MEDIA\ Maneuvers Based on Mode: Portrait mode: Zoom In/Out; Circle (Medium); Circle (Close); Dronie; Circle (Far); Tilt up & Fly Forward; Rocket; Camera Down & Circle; Camera Straight & Descend; Camera Down & Descend Proximity mode: Dronie; Circle (Far); Tilt up & Fly Forward; Circle (Close); Circle (Medium); Rocket; Camera Down & Fly Forward; Camera Down & Circle; Camera Straight & Descend; Camera Down & Descend Landscape mode: Dronie; Circle (Far); Tilt up & Fly Forward; Roll & Fly Forward; Circle (Close); Zoom In/Out; Circle (Medium); Rocket; Camera Straight & Descend; Camera Straight & Circle If you find this video helpful, please subscribe to our channel using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpbGXlWN7EWsrug-ual3X_A?sub_confirmation=1 ====== [ Updates ] ( Aug 21, 2023 ) None at this time ====== This video was produced by MiddleLoop Video and Photography, LLC.
