How to solve DJI Mavic Pro 4K to Final Cut Pro issues

Looking for an easy and direct way to import and edit DJI Mavic Pro 4K in Final Cut Pro X/7/6 on macos Sierra, you may wish to read this post.   

DJI is one of the leading drone manufacturers to put cameras in the sky and their amazingly capable Mavic Pro is one of the easiest drones to take to the sky. Speaking of the camera, the Mavic Pro houses a camera capable of recording high-resolution 4K videos at 30 fps in MOV wrapper encoded with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. After recording some stunning 4K footage by DJI Mavic Pro, you may wanna edit these 4K videos in Final Cut Pro so as to make them more stylish. However, when you import DJI Mavic Pro 4K in FCP X/7/6, things get a bit complex. So, here offers an easy workaround to help you work with Mavic Pro 4K files in FCP on macos Sierra smoothly. 



It is a pity that Apple's Final Cut Pro- FCP X (below 10.2 version), FCP 7 hardly supports 4K files from Mavic Pro. If you want to have a smooth DJI Mavic Pro 4K to FCP workflow, you are advised to convert Mavic Pro 4K video to ProRes in 1080p settings for further editing in FCP 6/7 and Final Cut Pro X at first. 

With the help of Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, you can easily achieve the goal. With the professional 4K video converter for Mac, you can effortlessly encode DJI Mavic Pro 4K MP4/MOV footage for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLEs), including FCP, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, iMovie, Davinci Resolve and more.

Converting DJI Mavic Pro 4K video to work in FCP

Note: If you are also a FCP X user, before you try to do the conversion, don't forget to make sure that you have installed the Apple ProRes Codec manually since the FCP X asks users to install it by themselves.

Step 1: Run the DJI video converting program you just set up. Drag and drop the 4K files from Mavic Pro which are copied to Mac hard drive to the converter. You can also hit "Add File" button to import videos to the app.



Step 2: Choose output format > Click "Select Format" bar and choose "Editor > Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Pro 7" as output format for editing raw 4K in FCP with natively supported video codec.

Step 3: Advanced V/A settings > Click "Settings" button if you'd like to customize advanced audio and video parameters like Video Codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, audio channels.



Note: Gnerally, 1080p is the optinal setings for FCP editing, so you can downscale 4K to 1080p. Of course, if you want to stick with the orignal 4K resolution, just keep the orignal video size.

Step 4: Start converting Mavic Pro 4K footage to FCP > Hit the "Start" button of the best 4K Video Converter for Mac. It will start converting DJI Mavic Pro 4K for importing to Final Cut Pro immediately.
