Brayford, North Devon

The last video, I think, from my October visit to North Devon. Brayford is a small village in the foothills of (and not quite in) Exmoor. Not far away is Shoulsbury Castle and Five Barrows, a place where I also flew (see Two Exmoor Flights).

High Bray is where the CofE church is located, atop a hill overlooking the village. A soft north Devon landscape with rolling hills and deep valleys.

Filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro, and my first attempt at editing with Final Cut Pro.

Thanks!

As for FCP - a steep learning curve! I previously used iMovie and recently tried Premiere Rush. Rush is free with the Adobe Photography package (a plus) and seems more capable than iMovie, but doesn’t grade 10-bit video. I’m disappointed with the titles in FCP - a number borrowed from iMovie, a lot of 3D and animated effects which look a bit teenage to my jaded eyes. I will probably take a look at Resolve at some point, but right now I don’t know if I’ll pat the full whack for the licence for software that has good grading capabilities (like FCP, Resolve or Premiere Pro).

North Devon is full of locations to fly from - if you live there (I did a long time ago) you’ll know there are all sorts of places that are alternatives to the headline attractions of the area.
