Frequently Asked Questions

What drone footage formats do you accept?

We work with all major drone video formats including DJI (Mavic, Phantom, Inspire), Autel, Skydio, and professional cinema drones. We handle 4K, 5K, 6K, and 8K resolution footage in formats like MP4, MOV, H.264, H.265, ProRes, and D-Log profiles.

Can you fix shaky or unstable drone footage?

Yes, advanced stabilization is our specialty. We can smooth out wind shake, gimbal jitter, rapid movements, and unstable footage. Even challenging conditions like strong winds or aggressive flying can be significantly improved with our professional stabilization techniques.

How do you handle drone footage with flat color profiles?

We specialize in grading log and flat profiles like D-Log, D-Cinelike, and other cinema profiles. We apply professional color grading that recovers detail, adds vibrant color, creates mood, and delivers the cinematic look these profiles are designed for.

Can you remove the propellers visible in some of my shots?

Yes, we can remove or minimize propeller blur that appears in frame corners, particularly in wide-angle shots. This requires frame-by-frame work but significantly improves the final appearance of affected clips.

Do you integrate drone footage with ground-level video?

Absolutely! We seamlessly blend aerial and ground footage, matching color, pacing, and style to create cohesive videos that combine multiple perspectives. This is particularly effective for real estate tours, event coverage, and documentary projects.

What's the typical turnaround time for drone video editing?

Simple drone clips (1-2 minutes) are delivered in 2-3 business days. Standard projects (2-5 minutes) take 4-5 days. Complex productions with extensive footage and advanced effects may require 7-10 days. Rush service is available for urgent needs.
