What footage works

How the AI Director reads one flight
  1. TakeoffCut
  2. FlyoverKept
  3. HoverSparingly
  4. OrbitKept
  5. LandingCut

Works great

  • Smooth flights: flyovers, orbits, reveals.
  • Landscapes, coasts, cities, mountains.
  • Drones with a gimbal, and FPV.
  • 1080p to 4K, 24 to 60 fps.

Why? Steady movement with a clear subject scores highest.

Works, with limits

  • Lots of hovering in one spot.
  • Very short clips.
  • Dusk or strong wind.

Why? Still or shaky moments are used sparingly, so the film gets shorter.

Doesn't work

  • Takeoffs, landings, the drone on the ground.
  • Phone videos filmed by hand.
  • Screen recordings and social media downloads.
  • Night shots, blur, overexposure.

Why? These seconds fail the basic checks before the AI Director looks.

Why your film looks like this

Never longer than your good footage

We never repeat a shot to fill a song.

Every second checked

Takeoffs, landings, shake and blur are left out.

Cut to the beat

Songs with a clear beat work best.

Ends on the climax

If the song is longer than your film, the film ends on its high point.

New settings, new film

Style, shot order, length or song change the edit.

Common problems

The upload is stuck

Keep the page open. A stable connection helps. If it stops, pick the files again.

My film is too short

Add more flight footage or choose “Full soundtrack”.

The cut doesn't fit the music

Pick a song with a clear beat or try “At its strongest part”.

Shots are missing

Shaky, dark or blurry moments are left out. Smoother takes make it in.

The app can't connect

Get the latest version from your account. Check your PC's date and time.

“Too many PCs”

Remove an old PC in your account, then sign in again.

I'm not happy with my film

Open the film and click “Not happy with this film?”. We take a look.
