PowerDirector recently added an AI (artificial intelligence) feature that converts video to various styles of animation. I’ve been having fun with it on a few of my clips.

Payette River with Team River Runner

Ducks and More Ducks
We witnessed another amazing duck migration this spring. I shot this with a drone just offshore from our home on Green Bay two weeks ago. Most of them appeared to be either Greater Scaups or Lesser Scaups. (If you can tell the difference from this angle, please let me know.) […]
Red River Dunks
My first paddle day in the Midwest this season after kayaking in the Southeast US earlier this year. Apparently I’m still shaking off some winter rust. And yes that should be “CFS” for Cubic Feet per Second, not “CFI”. I shot the drone footage right before we launched our kayaks.
Flying Across Ice

Winter Beauty (or “Winter Drones On”)
A few cold-weather drone videos show the beauty of winter in Wisconsin. Shot with a DJI Avata and a DJI Mini 2 and edited with Cyberlink Power Director 360. Still learning and having fun. Ski Trails near Lakewood Bay of Green Bay Wequiock Falls near Green Bay
