The Stitch workflow
Give the flight a point of view.
A beautiful location can still produce a long, repetitive recording. Build the edit around what changes: a reveal, a movement, a detail or a person in the landscape.
Find the useful stretch inside the recording
A flight clip may include positioning, a correction in direction, a paused view and the movement you meant to capture. Treat the recording as source material, not as one indivisible shot.
Look for a section that has a readable subject, a clear movement and an ending that feels intentional. Repeating the same orbit or reveal seldom adds as much as a new scale or detail.
Make the sequence do more than show a view
Begin with enough context for the viewer to understand the setting. Move closer, change scale or reveal something that answers a question raised by the opening. Finish with an image that feels like a destination rather than an accidental stop.
This is an editing recommendation, not an automated-storytelling guarantee. Stitch’s first draft is a starting point for your choices, and the footage you filmed remains the creative material.
Choose the frame before judging the shot
A wide shot that works beautifully in landscape can lose its subject in a vertical crop. Use the crop calculator to see the geometry, then inspect movement through the entire shot.
The right answer may be to use another section or preserve a separate landscape version. A sharper export does not bring back the image area removed by a crop.
Keep the workflow honest
Stitch is independent of DJI and other camera manufacturers. Compatibility needs to be checked against actual files and available app controls; a camera brand name alone does not establish support for every codec, log profile or recording mode.
Save a copy of your source footage and check the exported MP4 before deleting anything. The current launch is a web experience with an Android development build, not an iOS or Play Store release.
