American Robin Mother and her Babies!

[Strider64]

I don't care what anyone says FCPX is a very easy video application to use. I plan on taking more video footage of the American Robin Mother and her clutch. Though I'm going to put my Sony A9 with a Sony 100-400 GM Lens on a tripod and gimbal so the footage won't be so shaky. I can't get close too close to the nest as the mother won't come an feed her babies. I also can't camouflage myself as it's on the side the house, plus I would look a little stupid to my neighbors.

Here's what I have so far:

Oh yes, Final Cut Pro X is definitely one of my most often-used video editors, typically for anything elaborate I do such as YouTube Poops. I also tried out shooting my first short 4K video on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone (since I discovered it can shoot 4K video), and I tried editing it on iMovie only to find it could only export it as high as 1080. So I loaded the footage into Final Cut Pro X and that did the trick. (I won't be using 4K often, but it was fun little experiment and gave me something to keep me busy during this coronavirus lockdown.)
Sweet robin footage, too! Reminds me of at our old house when we had an American Robins' nest right outside one of our windows that a large bush was mostly covering, and we could clearly see the babies grow up and everything. Robins sure grow up fast! This was way back in 2002 and 2003.

What a great video! Well done. I have to agree about the simplicity of use with FCPX, I found DVinci resolve Studio too complex & Premiere Pro was a nightmare for reliability!

No chance of putting a GoPro out there, with USB power delivered via an extension? You could program in a timelapse scenario during daylight hours, so could theoretically be switching out micro SD cards every three days or so.
