Im working on a massive project helping a charity in the promotion of the restoration of a canal in my city, part of which is my flying the entire route of the former canal.
In this section of the route I have used motion tracking in Sony Vegas Pro 18 to anchor text in certain places as I fly past such as locks and bridges. Really helps people see where things used to be located before the canal was abandoned and where it will be restored again.
anyone else used the Motion Tracking thing in SV ?

Thank you, I will have to do quite a few more flights to cover the whole route, hopefully get it done this year. In my first one I flew through a canal lock and under a bridge …

Thanks, ah yes I see what you mean.
I also survey the route for Google Street view so you can walk it at ground level

Thanks, ah well. I never used to put copyright on stuff but I had stuff stolen quite a few times so try and keep it discreet in the corner. Thankfully these days if its on YouTube and someone reuploads it then it shows in my copyright list.

Thanks, was rather scary as no way I could get it back from in there.
You have to accept that at any point during a flight it could hit something such as a bird and it will come down and wont survive, just have to accept that fact, that way you can enjoy flying and not worry.
Only had my drone since January but love it a lot. I have rather a lot of video, over 850. Also I make unique stuff with my 360 camera such as …

Absolutely! Agree with that mindset! I only got mine a month ago so haven’t had too many chances to go out and get used to it! Still a little nervous about the ‘am I okay to fly here or not’ and not disturbing anyone or attracting people while I’m still trying to figure out how to fly!
Dovedale isn’t far from me but am a little nervous about going there to fly as I thought it was frowned upon in places like that… You were lucky to have the stepping stones all to yourself! There’s been a huge queue for them every time I’ve been there walking with the family.
Great 360 vid there!! Very Stranger Things with the music! They mess with my brain a little I’m not going to lie haha!

Yes once you have been out a few times you will get confident.
No you cant fly a drone at Dovedale, my Dovedale video is a 360 degree camera on a 3M selfie stick not drone footage! I got there as soon as the car park opened thats why its quiet. I was surveying it for Street View.
Music is the key to editing together a good video, I spend ages with music selection

Ahhhh Pardon my ignorance there! 
I had a couple of places lined up this weekend to head out and practice but typically weather has put a stop to those plans 
Agree about music, it can definitely change a video! I’m well into my music so cant wait to get editing and finding the right music!
cheers!
