Whilst like many of the drones produced by DJI, the AVATA 360 has built in tracking capabilities, if you want to do some tracking after you have taken you video, then the DJI Studio software leaps into the fray to help. (If you are a Windows user, just make sure you have the correct and most up to date version)
And I have to say it is very impressive.
This afternoon, I took a short trip down to the Leschenault Inlet, about 1km down the road from my house, and shot a quick 1 minute clip. The weather was not too flash; very grey and overcast, so the resultant footage is not that inspiring, just being a fly past at different altitudes.
But turn on the tracking capabilities of the software and taking advantage of the full 360° camera in the AVATA 360, and you get a whole new perspective of the shoot.
The way this is implemented is very easy.
Simply place your clip into the timeline by dragging it down after loading it, set the time marker at the beginning, use the mouse to rotate the footage around so you can see your object to track. Use the split and cut tools to isolate just the piece of video you want from the clip.
Next click the Intelligent Tracking button and draw a box around the object or person to track, followed by clicking the Start Track button. DJI Studio will run through the track automatically creating the necessary key frames.
Once finished, simply play back the timeline to see the results, and then export the video as required.
After editing, here is a second clip I shot.
(BTW: The astute among you might notice there is a very light shadow artifact in the bottom centre of the videos. This is a trap for young players; ALWAYS double check the rubber door covering the USB / SD card slot of the AVATA 360 is firmly shut otherwise it end up in the shot!)
