"Sorta" gay? It's terrible.
It came with Premiere. Every time you use something even somewhat well known YouTube sends you a cease and desist.
Finding them is another matter. These two videos are the same location which just so happens to be the MN DNR Eagle Cam Nest spot. Local photographers are pretty good about sharing locations but there is somewhat of an informal vetting process. I've met plenty of shooters I'd never share a nest location with because they're ****ing douchbags that'd disturb the birds for a damn photo.

4k @ 30 FPS. I can crop 4k a bit more readily than 1080. I save the file as 1080 however. Canon is releasing a new body that shoots 8k and I'm taking a serious look at it.

Good stuff, Thomas. Are you used your big lens?

Yes, and it's not exactly ideal. Because the field of view is so narrow even the slightest breeze will give you camera shake. And turning off IS is an absolute must. I've got my Custom Camera Functions programmed specifically for video so I can switch back and forth without adjusting settings. It helps. A LOT.

The first video (No sound) probably does have too many transitions I agree.
You don't zoom with your feet when shooting Bald Eagles. Not with any degree of success anyway. If you're getting so close you are the reason they're flying away you're too close.
I really did start from absolute scratch learning this, I didn't even understand the language. I have a LONG way to go but I can at least grab some short video now and process it.
