How to Get Phantom 4 Pro 4K Support in Windows Movie Maker

If you're facing problems editing DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K footage within Windows Movie Maker, just follow this simple tutorial to achieve your goal smoothly. 

Phantom 4 Pro is really going to put professional quality, cinematic shots into the hands of consumers. It can record at 4k video at 60 frames per seconds. This means it can record slow motion in 4k which gives your video a much smoother look. After the video capture, you may going to have some professional post work-flow of the Phantom 4 Pro video files with Windows Movie Maker. However, H.264 encoded MP4 or MOV file format from DJI Phantom 4 Pro is beyond the compatibility of Windows Movie Maker. What's more, handling 4K files in Movie Maker is usually hardware intensive. Thus, you can't get a flawless 4K workflow in most cases.



Is it possible to edit 4K videos from Phantom 4 Pro with Windows Movie Maker? 

If your computer meets below listed requirements, you will have no problem to work 4K video with Windows Movie Maker:

* Integrated Graphics solutions that support 4K external displays (8GB RAM recommended with integrated graphics solutions):

*  4th generation Intel Core processor family (Intel Haswell based CPUs) – (Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 / Intel Iris Graphics 5100, Intel HD Graphics 5000 / 4600 / 4400 / 4200) 

*  AMD A10-7800 APU

If your system does not support the 4K videos, there is no point even if you have the latest software version. Majority of videos are finished in 1080p and thus it is always advisable to downscale or render your 4K video into a 1080p file so that they can be easily edited in Windows Movie Maker. However, that does not mean that you can throw any 4K video to Windows Movie Maker, the 4K video should be listed in Windows Movie Maker supported formats list as below:

Video formats: WMV, ASF, WM, M2TS, MTS, M2T, MOV, QT, DVR-MS, WTV
Audio formats: ASF, WM, WMA, AIF, AIFF, WAV, M4A, MP3

Since DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K videos are with the format of MP4, Windows Movie Maker will fail to handle those 4K file formats. Actually, it's not as difficult as you imagine. To edit Phantom 4 Pro 4K H.264 MOV/MP4 video in Windows Movie Maker, the easy workaround is to convert DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K to Windows Movie Maker compatible formats like WMV or AVI.
