Organize Photos and Videos in Sync for DJI

Our ultimate goal is to help you choose best-looking photos and videos in the fastest way. For this we have adopted the best practice from Lightroom software - we implemented Picked and Rejected Heart flags altogether with Color Labels.

Color Labels and Heart Flags

Flags are set for Media items in the Storage or DJI device Tabs. Once media items are organized, you can filter to display and work on photos that you’ve labeled with a particular flag or a particular color label. Also, you can use Quick Tools (such as Download Picked Media or Delete Rejected Media) to streamline your organization workflow.

Organize Media in the Previewer

Do the following:

• In the Storage or DJI device Tab enlarge photo or video;

• Tap and hold on the Heart icon or the Color Label icon and choose the needed flag or color label;

• Swipe to the next item and apply new Heart flags and color labels if you wish;

Organize Media in multi-select mode

Do the following:

• Select multiple items in the grid;

• The bottom panel contains available actions. Tap and hold on the desired action to apply flags or labels all at once;

Heart Flag states and Color Labels are not saved to file itself. They are not visible or available outside of Sync for DJI.

Geek fact: Sync for DJI contains database where we store all meta information regarding each ever available media file on your DJI devices(drone and Osmo).

How to filter the grid with a particular Flag or a Color Label

Do the following:

• Open the Filter screen;

• Choose needed Color Label(s), Heart Flag(s);

• Tap on Apply;

• Now the grid displays only filtered photos and videos.

Also, you can filter by Media type: Video, Panorama, Photo, and so on.

Note: To reset Filters - open the Filter screen and tap on SHOW ALL in the top right corner.

How to use Quick Tools

Do the following:

• Open Main menu;

• Choose desired Quick Tool;

Quick Tools - Head Start with Picked and Rejected Media

DJI Mavic Air

Quick tools are available for everyone. These one-tap actions provide powerful, easy-to-use organization tools along with media edit. Use quick tools to streamline your workflow with connected DJI drone or Osmo. Today, we are going to talk about Delete rejected and Download Picked Media.

Before you begin

General information and tips for organizing taken footage with Color Labels and Picked/Rejected Hearts you can read here.

Update your app to the latest version (2.0.4) to make sure that you're using the latest version of Sync for DJI.

To ensure that all of your quick tools are available - connect your device to iPhone (or iPad).

Get started

To open Quick tools, tap on the menu icon, then choose a needed Quick tool.

Tap on Menu icon

Choose Quick tool

1. Download Picked Media

This Action allows to download all 'Hearted' (analogy with Picked Flag in Lightroom) media from DJI device. 'Heart' items mean media that you picked during previewing footage.

How to use:

1. Open Sync for DJI.

2. Open Main Menu and choose 'Download Picked Media'.

3. Download will start immediately.

Pay attention that this action works only if drone or Osmo is actually connected.

2. Delete Rejected Media

This action works for both libraries - Storage and Device. For DJI devices deletion takes some time for each file. That is why this action might streamline your review process - you just do not distract to UI interruptions.

How to use:

1. [optional] Review your taken footage and reject media you do not like.

2. Open Main Menu and choose 'Delete Rejected Media'.

3. Media files are deleted quietly in the background.

Pay attention that deletion happens to Storage and connected DJI device.

Quick Tools: 'Stitch Panorama' and 'Make Timelapse Video' are coming soon.

How to watermark your photos with Sync for DJI app

To use custom watermark feature you need to update your app to 2.0.1 version. Open iTunes -> Updates or tap here.

Watermarked image

If you're putting photos online on Instagram, Skypixel, etc. and want to protect your rights to those images or sign them, the best way to preserve digital images is by watermarking them.

With a digital photo, a watermark is a soft logo or word(s) superimposed over the top of the picture. The purpose of placing a watermark on your photos is to limit others from attempting to copy and use the photo without approval.

If you use a watermark that's too small or faint, someone could easily crop or edit the watermark and take the photo. And, if the watermark is too large or dark, it will dominate the picture, compromising its appearance.

To place the watermark on your photos, follow these 4 steps.

1. Find the app to create your watermark. We suggest use:

A+ Signature. You can add a watermark or an annotation. Available through the AppStore.

​Marksta. You'll have a surprising number of options for customizing your watermark how this app can create watermarks. Available on the AppStore.

These apps will export png image with transparent background. Save it in Photos app.

2. Open Sync for DJI app, go to Settings -> Share Settings -> Custom Watermark.

(use this link if you read this article from iPhone and Sync for DJI is installed)

Settings -> Share Settings -> Custom Watermark

Pay attention to only users who use PRO version of Sync for DJI can add custom watermarks to photos.

3. Tap on Set a New Watermark -> Choose Image and find your image that you just saved from apps above or uploaded to own library manually from other sources.

You will see how your watermark looks on light and dark backgrounds.

Set a New Watermark -> Choose Image

4. Then choose photos or video that you need to watermark and tap on Save to Photos or Share button. Sync for DJI prompts you place watermark to one of four corners. Choose the best place and tap on Save to Photos/Share.

You only need to watermark media that you will publish in social networks or something like that, where others can easily download them. So don't feel like you have to watermark every photo you have ever shot. Instead, save yourself some time by only picking specific images for watermarking.

Then publish your photos where you want. All exported images will be watermarked.

Watermarked photo. Me family on a bridge.
