By looking at it.
I'm not a gullible fool who falls for BS.
Nobody is saying you are, you can't just be all certain if CGI without any analysis. Move on...

Cgi without a doubt.
it just looks wrong.
or some type of flying drone.

Guys lets get some thinking caps on here and explain how you guys are so certain it is CGI? It seems so natural to me
it could be a mechanical toy?
Peace
They are not certain it is CGI. It just goes against their belief system. Dinosaurs are not millions of years old, and they cannot accept that. There are plenty other videos and pictures of pterosaur sightings that I posted above.
A useful google search to follow this trail of truth: Dragons were Dinosaurs

Yea, obviously dinosaurs have co-existed with humans from the beginning, the whole 6,000 years the earth has existed...how ignorant can you be to not accept that? Obviously just caught up in some cooky belief system that doesn't let them see reality.

Interestingly I am beginning to DOUBT this is CGI but rather
a MECHANICAL flying device. Basically a Drone!
In animation you have to be aware of your final frame rate
be it 24 fps, 29.97 fps, 60 fps and MOST animators TEND
to use the in-betweening function of their software
which on the high-end would be Autodesk Maya,
Autodesk SoftImage, or Lightwave 3D.
Lower end software would be Blender
or 3DS Max.
For compositing, we like to use Discreet FLAME
or Black Magic Fusion...Those two are OSCAR AWARD
winning software...Darn hard to learn but what you
can do with them is amazing!
---
Now the in-betweening tends to use LINEAR interpolation
for each frame which can be back-calculated out to see
if the frame movement is TOO LINEAR on the X, Y and Z
axis. If it is then it is almost CERTAINLY an animation.
However, if the animator is GOOD! then they have
introduced "wobble" with micro-variable nearly random
jitter and juddery movements on each 3D-XYZ axis to
make the CGI SEEM real !!!
One other method to check for CGI is to check the object edges for
INVERSE SQUARED or LINEAR DROP-OFF in the luminance (i.e. Brightness)
of the object edges which indicates MULTI-LAYER IMAGE COMPOSITING.
If the edges are too evenly blurred or LINEAR in their edging that does not
match the "grain" or "noise" of the original camera footage then that's a giveaway too!
As a high end animator, you put random pixelation and video noise in your edges
to match the camera noise pixelization and/or the video-compression originated
macroblocking of your original footage that will lessen forensic-level closeup
examination from detecting far-too-even edging.
It is actually QUITE DIFFICULT to make a true opinion as to this video's
origination as CGI or Reality. To me the flapping of the wings and that head flip
is so bad and unnatural to me...THAT...I'm an more inclined to believe that
it's a MECHANICAL CONTRAPTION rather than an animation. Ironically, it's
flight envolope looks so bad that it looks too "Really Artificial" to be 3D animation!
I could be wrong in that an animator just out of FIlm School could have
done this on Blender or 3DS and made it look this way on purpose.
I however, am more on the side of expensive RC drone made to look
like a Pterosaur!

Guys it was already proven by HalfSwede that the video was fake. It was made by a group who make CGI videos
Here: www.youtube.com...
Just going to "ruin this" for everybody again because it seems to be getting lost in the discussion 😉
