this has been bugging me for a while. i'll be flying and the live view looks absolutely stunning, like i genuinely think im about to get a banger shot, then i pull the card and look at the raw files on my computer and something just feels off. colors are flatter, the sharpness seems different, idk. shooting raw so its not a compression thing i think? maybe im just bad at editing but the gap between what i see on the screen and what i actually get is kind of demoralizing tbh

yeah the goggles and controller screens are usually cranked way up in terms of saturation and contrast, its basically just there to help you frame shots not to show you the final image. raw files are gonna look flat until you process them thats just how it works. what drone are you on and are you shooting d-log or normal picture profile?

had the exact same issue when i started. took me embarassingly long to figure out the screen preview is basically lying to you lol. once i started grading properly in lightroom it got way better, still not perfect but closer to what i expected. dont give up on the raws they have way more to work with than jpegs
