The video is great! I really like the vibe and makes me want to go to Algarve!

After a while and even though the video is only 2min long, it does become boring. Maybe increase the pace of the video? Drone footage is incredible especially the FPV ones, but you should definitely add more camera shots.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Maybe by using faster paced music it will improve the overall video and make it less boring?  — ybouane That could definitely help, though I did like the music. I really just think that too much drone footage just becomes overwhelming. I know that Youtube encourages longer content, but a short video in your case could do the trick.  — mamadou92 keyboard_arrow_up 1 keyboard_arrow_down

A better transition would do it great! Also I didn't realize the next place pops up unless looking at the words on the screen, could be a more subtle way to do it. But overall I love it!

So it would be better to just go through each city/region one at a time (like chapters) instead of mixing everything?  — ybouane keyboard_arrow_up 1 keyboard_arrow_down

Love Portugal, I've spent quite a few holidays sailing in and around Lagos, Albufeira & Vilamoura. You captured it perfectly.

Maybe the video needs to be shorter and a better music choice.

subjective thoughts:

  • don't feature yourself (maybe just end with the final zoom-is/out of yourself)
  • for each "scene" i would like to have a permanent text in the corner (small) of what i am actually looking at, not just country/city
  • there is a stark difference between camera shots and drone footage, maybe make the drone move slower?

Thanks for the feedback, I totally agree with the big contrast there is between the drone/camera shots. I also think I should really focus on improving my camera shots and editing. I rely too much on drone footage.  — ybouane keyboard_arrow_up 1 keyboard_arrow_down
