Hi everyone,

I recently built and launched E2DM2, which stands for Easy Epic Drone Movie Maker.

The problem I wanted to solve

I love flying drones, but I kept ending up with a familiar problem: lots of nice footage sitting on an SD card because editing takes too long.

Opening Premiere, DaVinci, or another full editor just to make a short music-driven montage felt like overkill, especially when I only wanted a clean video I could watch, share, or post.

So I built a desktop app to make that workflow faster.

What E2DM2 does

The basic workflow is:

1. Import drone clips
2. Choose a soundtrack
3. Mark sections you want to keep or exclude
4. Produce a finished music-synchronized video

The app analyzes the selected music and creates cuts around the rhythm of the soundtrack, then renders the final video locally.

I also added a feature called Selection Mode, where you can paint directly on the timeline:

• Green sections are moments the final video should keep
• Red sections are moments the final video should exclude

The goal was to keep the speed of automation while still giving the user creative control.

Why I made it local instead of cloud-based

I decided to make it a Windows desktop app because drone footage files are huge, and I did not want users to upload videos just to make a simple montage.

A few details:

• Runs 100% locally on Windows
• No video uploads
• No account required
• No cloud rendering
• No watermarks
• No ads
• Bundles a local FFmpeg renderer
• Download is hosted through GitHub Releases

There is also a fully working free version. The optional Pro license adds more advanced control, but the free version is usable on its own.

Real estate use case

One use case I added recently is for real estate showcase videos. I created a soundtrack section with royalty-free music aimed at calmer property videos, because the usual “epic cinematic drone music” does not always fit listings.

This could be useful for realtors, real-estate photographers, property owners, or drone hobbyists who want a simple aerial video without spending hours editing.

I’m still improving the product, but it is fully working today.

I’d be happy to hear feedback on the positioning, onboarding, website, or workflow from other builders here.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi everyone,

I’m Félix from New Brunswick, and I recently built a Windows desktop app called E2DM2, which stands for Easy Epic Drone Movie Maker.

Website: www.e2dm2.com

Secure GitHub download: https://github.com/Gendire123/E2DM2-Releases/releases

I originally built it because I love flying drones, but I did not love spending hours editing footage afterward. After building the first version for hobby drone videos, I started realizing that a simpler version of this workflow could also make sense for Canadian real estate. A lot of agents, property owners, landlords, small teams, and real-estate photographers are experimenting with drone footage, but turning a few aerial clips into a clean listing-style video can still be time-consuming if you are not already comfortable with Premiere, DaVinci, or another video editor.

E2DM2 is designed to make that process simpler:

1. Import your drone clips
2. Choose a soundtrack
3. Mark any sections you want to keep or exclude
4. Produce a music-synchronized video montage

For the real-estate use case, I specifically added a soundtrack section with royalty-free music for Real Estate Showcase drone videos. The goal is to avoid the overly dramatic “epic drone video” feel and make it easier to create cleaner, calmer property videos that fit listings better.

A few important details:

• Fully working Windows software
• No watermarks
• No ads
• No account required
• No video uploads
• No cloud processing
• Everything runs locally on your computer
• Secure download through GitHub Releases
• Built with local FFmpeg rendering

I’m not trying to replace professional real-estate photographers or videographers. I see this more as a simple tool for people who already have drone footage and want a faster way to create a presentable property video without building a full editing workflow. For anyone here involved in Canadian real estate, property marketing, rentals, or listing media, I’d be interested in hearing how you currently approach simple drone videos.

Do you usually edit them yourself, outsource them, skip video entirely, or only use drone footage for higher-end listings?

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look or shares their perspective.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with a faster workflow for turning simple drone footage into short real-estate listing videos. The use case I’m thinking about is not huge luxury productions, but more common property videos where an agent or real-estate photographer has a few aerial clips and wants to turn them into a clean 45 to 90 second video without spending a long time editing.

The workflow I’ve been testing is:

1. Import the drone clips
2. Choose a soundtrack that fits the property style
3. Mark sections that should definitely be included
4. Mark sections that should definitely be excluded
5. Build the final video around the selected highlights and the music timing

For real-estate videos specifically, I’ve found that the music matters a lot. Epic cinematic drone music can feel too intense for a listing, while calmer royalty-free tracks with soft piano, light strings, or a subtle beat tend to feel more appropriate for property showcase videos. I’m curious how others here approach this type of work.

For shorter drone listing videos, do you usually edit everything manually, use templates, outsource the edit, or rely on a repeatable workflow that keeps the process fast? Also, when you’re editing aerial footage for real estate, what matters most to you: speed, music pacing, smooth transitions, color consistency, keeping the property accurate, or having full manual control?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share how they approach this.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I love getting out and flying my drone. But as a busy dad, I realized my SD cards were filling up with awesome flight footage that just sat there because I didn't have 3 hours to open Premiere/DaVinci and cut a video together.

I wanted to turn my raw flights into a polished, music-synchronized montage in minutes, so I built E2DM2 (Easy Epic Drone Movie Maker).

How it works:

1. Import your videos: Drag & drop your drone footage.
2. Choose a soundtrack: Select a music track to set the energy.
3. Sync & Produce: The app cuts and synchronizes your video beats to the music.

A few things I made sure to implement:

• Selection Mode: You can "paint" the exact moments you want to keep or exclude on the timeline so the automation doesn't cut out your favorite shots.
• 100% Local Processing: Your video clips never leave your computer (no cloud uploads).
• Free Version: The base app is completely free to use. There's a Pro upgrade ($19.95 launch price) if you want custom soundtracks, 4K rendering, or custom visual effects.

I’m hosting the download at www.e2dm2.com. If you have a Windows machine and some unedited drone footage sitting on your hard drive, I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!

Happy flying!
