Great to see what the KGV looks like as it`s well screened from the road. Drone footage excellent but it looks as though you need a powerful PC to edit the footage.

As Bearsden says, it looks as though the cruise ship was the one docked when you passed, but Fisheries Protection Vessel Minna went up there this morning.

Cheers.
Thanks for the info, and as to the clip. I tend to shoot mainly 4K which lends itself to better post production opportunities but you don't really need a "super computer" for that, and regular HD works much faster. The reason it took 22 hours to render was the slow motion package I applied to the original clip. It's extremely labour intensive, frame by frame, and then some, as it creates new 4K frames to insert in-between the original frames, captured at 4K 24 frames per second, then interpolates them into a nice smooth slow motion effect, taking into account any moving objects and fine details within the original film. A faster shutter speed helps, something in the 200s but I capture for regular video motion blur at 1/50th which gives the software more to think about. It's something best done overnight to be honest...

My edit software is called Casablanca-Bogart (for Windows) and the slow motion package is a derivative of 'Twixtor' called 'Time-X'. £260 of your earth monies to buy.

Current info on shipais.com showing an ETA of Friday at 1845, sounds like a teatime trip to Braehead.
