How I used Shotcut:
I used static images with the size position and rotate filter to give the appearance of flying over the city, then at the turn around point in the video, I exported what I had so far, reversed the video and sped it up using time remap since the turn around point was about 2/3 of the way through the video.
Very nice composition, Paul! Music is great for dreaming
I specially love the night shot of London. You could have also used Google Earth Studio for the animated flight. They have a ‘time of day’ option so that you can ‘film’ at night and even see the stars and milkyway.
I mean something like that: World in 3d from the sky
Yes, it can take a few days.
Don’t know why they make that fuss about it - perhaps while its still in beta.
Buts its really a nice tool for arieal animation.
Thanks for that tip about Google Earth Studio. A few times I’ve wanted some drone footage and now it looks like I could make virtual drone footage with Google Earth Studio. Wish I’d known about that before I made my current video. It would have looked so much better.
