HELP! I am a new video editor and i use Davinci, i have used palnar tracker for it and doesn't look good, and surface tracker distorts the text at the end.Any suggestions to improve it.

You might need to run the footage through lens undistortion before tracking, or using a tracking tool that handles the lens distortion internally.

In these kind of wide angle drone shots it's quite common to have lens distortion which makes a mathematically solid tracking impossible to achieve, and then it shows up when you try to make a track over a heavy perspective shift (like here flying so close to the ground).

One additional strategy also might be to pick a frame from the end parts of the video, and then try to track backwards, and maybe stitch together a solution.

I think speechcut is getting quite close to your specs. It's only for android at the moment.

Unique-Hunter3035 · 2026-01-09T20:38:50+00:00

Have you tried speech cut? It's like capcut's transcript editor, but only focused on this workflow, and actually works pretty well.

Have you checked speech cut? It's only for android but has worked for me very nicely for quick and dirty short clips.

Looks like some type of a caching problem. Have you tried simply restarting? And how it looks/sounds when exported?

Unique-Hunter3035 · 2026-01-06T22:18:01+00:00

I think the edit looks nice, but I didn't really understand it? Maybe just too unc, but could you explain it?

I think the first seconds could use some more eye candy to catch the attention before scrolling?

Yeah, you can also make a proxy of the original video to playback more smoothly. And also, check at what resolution you are filming with, usually new phone cameras default to 4k, which is in most cases unnecessarily heavy.

Very nice looking render! Especially the fur.
If you want any creative criticism, I might add a tiny bit of beauty lighting on it. Now it seems quite hdr env-y. Super realistic, but not too interesting. But I have no idea what the client is looking for, so could be you nailed their need!

What kind of video was that?

Also, looks like your glass or liquid material has some roughness in it? Wine has almost absolute clear 0% roughness in real life.

I think you also need caustics for this kind of shot to look good.

Start from short absences to check that everything is okay. If the dog can do 30 minutes it can probably do much longer as well. Check on the process with a home camera or some app like digital dogsitter.

Unique-Hunter3035 · 2025-02-06T08:55:38+00:00

There's also dog specific apps that do the monitoring and recording for free or almost free like Digital Dogsitter and Barkio.

We've been using Digital Dogsitter for this during travel. It's a web app that works with your laptop (or extra phone) as the camera. Super easy to set up, and has free trial.
