Reupload of my first drone video… why is this forum so mean?

Drone Photography & Videography Forum

I uploaded this as my first attempt at using my drone. Not sure why everyone here is so harsh about it. I get it’s not perfect, but can’t we just chill a little?

The drone footage is okay, but the whole ‘motivational voiceover’ vibe really ruins it.

There’s no sound on the video… looks like OP left their podcast playing in the background accidentally.

I was talking about their previous video… the one with drone footage and that AI voice saying random motivational junk.

Ohhh, my bad. I didn’t catch that first one. Gross though.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. It adds useful context to the discussion.

I checked out your first video. Honestly, the feedback was deserved. The motivational AI voice stuff was unnecessary.

That AI voice is everywhere these days. People call it ‘Adam,’ and it’s in literally everything.

If you’re gonna do a voiceover, do it yourself. Or better yet, skip it entirely. Subtitles read out loud just block the actual video.

Try slowing down your movements and making them smoother. The video feels really jerky right now.

It just looks like a basic first-time drone video to me—spinning in circles and testing it out.

The drone footage itself is good, but the AI voiceover? That’s what’s toxic, my dude. Just let the visuals speak for themselves.

Here’s my take:

  1. Friendly version: Congrats on starting a new hobby! You’ve got a great setting to film in, and I’m sure your skills will improve over time. Lots of tutorials online can help you refine your technique!

  2. Honest version: You’ve seen what other drone content looks like, right? You filmed this, watched it back, and thought, ‘Yep, good enough to post’? Come on now.

I just filmed something and posted it. Not trying to impress anyone. :man_shrugging:

So then why post it again if you don’t care?
