Does GoPro Studio support DJI Mavic Pro 4K files?

The easy workaround to get GoPro Studio work with DJI Mavic Pro 4K files is to convert 4K to AVI/MP4, which GoPro Studio works best with. Here is how. 

DJI is perhaps the current leader in the consumer drone market and with good reason. Among all the DJI consumer drones, the Mavic Pro has got to be our favorite. This cool, insectile looking little drone can stay aloft for more than 25 minutes, offer a flight range of several miles and comes with some excellent 4K shootings. However, there are some issues like crashing, unsupported file type when getting DJI Mavic Pro video to work in GoPro Studio, especially in 4K. So, how to import DJI Mavic Pro 4K video to GoPro Studio beautifully?



According to GoPro Studio official statement, GoPro Studio supports importing the following files in "Step 1: Import & Convert":

MP4 video files from the original HD Hero Original, HD Hero 2, HERO3, and HERO3+.
MOV video files from Canon and Nikon DSLRs (except in Windows 8).
JPG files from GoPro HD Hero, Hero 2 and Hero 3 cameras (.jpgs from other sources may work, but have not been tested nor are they officially supported).

And GoPro Studio supports importing the following file formats directly for editing in "Step 2: Edit": GoPro CineForm AVI or MOV files (MOV only on Mac). Audio formats: MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A and CAF

While DJI Mavic Pro records:

Video:

MP4, MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264)

Video Recording Modes:

C4K: 4096×2160 24p 
4K: 3840×2160 24/25/30p 
2.7K: 2720x1530 24/25/30p 
FHD: 1920×1080 24/25/30/48/50/60/96p 
HD: 1280×720 24/25/30/48/50/60/120p

However, GoPro Studio supports not all kinds of MP4/MOV formats, like some 4K MP4/MOV files with unacceptable high bitrate/resolution or big size from Mavic Pro. To be able to work with Mavic Pro 4K video files in GoPro Studio flawlessly, we would recommend transcoding them to a format that is well compatible with GoPro Studio.

Solution 1: Use GoPro Studio

To use GoPro Studio, you need to import the files, either .MP4 or .MOV, into Studio and then convert them to .AVI files, this is the normal process for Studio. Once converted, they can be edited as easily as GoPro files. At the conclusion, you can export the edited cut to a number of formats, including files intended for YouTube, Facebook and such. If you try to cut the original files, you get that message saying they are unsupported.

Solution 2: Use s a powerful alternative tool to GoPro Studio
