Can Davinci Resolve accept 4K H.265 from DJI Zenmuse X5s

Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X5S camera are true Hollywood-grade production tools that are designed with filmmakers in mind. The new CineCore 2.0 image processing system on the Inspire 2 makes the Zenmuse X5S capable of capturing 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes video as well as 4K 60fps using H.264 and 4K 30fps using H.265 (both at 100Mbps). When you got a DJI Inspire 2 and recorded some 4K videos with it, you may seek for a tutorial for the post workflow when dealing with Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 footage. In this tutorial, I will share a guide on how to import DJI Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 to Davinci Resolve for further editing. If you are in the trouble getting Zenmuse X5S 4K video to Resolve, just read on to get some hints. 



Well, according to our multiple testing, we found two main basic reasons behind there. As you know Zenmuse X5S records 4K H.265 videos, but it seems Davinci Resolve (including Resolve 12.5) does not like the way. Davinci Resolve 12.5, 11 can handle (usually) 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. What'more, as a new-emerging codec, H.265/HEVC is not supported by Davinci Resolve. 

The easy workaround to edit Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 videos in Davinci Resolve is to convert the 4K H.265 to a more editing-friendly format for Davinci Resolve. If you're a professional users, you must know that the most suitable format is MOV which is encoded by DNxHD codec. Therefore, a Mac 4K to DNxHD Converter can be a good assistant.

Overall, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is best Video Converter for Zenmuse X5S footage. With this Zenmuse X5S H.265/4K video converter, you can effortlessly transcode Zenmuse X5S 4K H.265 to DNxHD encoded MOV, which will creat a Davinci Resolve friendly file format keeping the original quality. Besides Resolve, this software can also export DNxHD for Avid MC, Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere and more NLE systems for native editing. Windows uers can turn to the Windows version here. Below is the detailed guide on converting Zenmuse X5S H.265 clips to Davinci Resolve friendly videos for smoothly editing.

Windows Movie Maker can't edit 4K from Phantom 4 Pro? Solved

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):

*  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.

Get 4K video from DJI Mavic Pro to wok in GoPro Studio

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

Dimo Video Converter for Ultimate/Videomate is just suitable to your needs, which is an all-in-one video converter, player and editor. Overall, the program is the best Video Converter for DJI 4K footage. With this DJI 4K video converter, you can effortlessly transcode DJI Mavic Pro 4k MP4/MOV to AVI/H.264 MP4, which will create an GoPro Studio friendly file format keeping the DJI original quality. 

Besides GoPro Studio, this software can also export DNxHD for Avid MC, MPEG-2 for Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro/Element, WMV for Windows Movie Maker and more NLE systems for native editing, even MP4 foriPhone/iPad/VLC/Kodi/QuickTime for playback smoothly. What's more, this video app allows you to trim clips, crop videos, add effects, insert watermark, etc as GoPro Studio does. For Mac(OS Sierra) users, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is the alternative choice. Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.

How to Convert DJI Mavic Pro 4K H.264 MP4/MOV for Editing in GoPro Studio

Step 1: Install and run Dimo Video Converter Ultimate, and then click the "Add File" button to load the Mavic Pro 4k videos.



Step 2: Click "Select Format" bar and choose AVI or MP4 from "Format > Video" or "Format > HD Video" as output format on the drop-down menu.  

Tip: Click the Settings icon to adjust video and audio parameters on the Profile Setting as you need to get the best quality video. To down-convert ultra HD 4K to 1080p, do remember adjusting video size to 1920*1080. That is the exact 1080p.



Step 3: Simply click the "Start" button to start converting and everything else will be automated. If you have added quite a bunch of video files, it would take some time to convert. You're done.

Import XC15 4K MXF video in Premiere Pro on macos Sierra

An upgraded follow-up to the XC10, Canon XC15 is capable of capturing high-image quality and low-noise 4K UHD video, thanks to its high-sensitivity one-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 5 image processing platform with high calculation-processing power. If you record some 4K videos, you may wanna work with the Canon XC15 4K in Adobe Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, etc) on macos Sierra. However, it seems a bit complicated as PPro won't ingest 4K MXF from XC15 as you expected. So, what's the solution?



At first, let's look at Canon XC15 video recording:

Recording file format: Material eXchange Format (MXF)

Recording format: Video Format: XF-AVC. Compression Format: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

Literally, the latest version Premiere Pro CC, CS6 has the ability to handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive owing to the codec issue and resolution. Worse still, Canon XC15 uses the new XF-AVC movie recording codec, employs the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression format, and packages shootings in an MXF wrapper, which is not an ideal format for most editing software including Adobe Premiere Pro. Some guys recommend to install the latest updates, try some MXF plug-ins, but still didn't work well.

To solve the problem, you need to convert Canon XC15 4K to MOV for Premiere Pro as primary delivery format. With the help of Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, you can easily achieve the goal. Hot News! DimoSoft has launched a user-requested upgrade for full line of media converting products for Win/Mac to version 2.7.3. Existing bugs, improvements and new elements for MXF encoding are added.

This program can be used to transcode any 4K MXF from Canon XC15, XC10, 5D Mark IV, C500, C300, XF305, XF100, XF300..., as well as 4K MTS/MOV/MP4 files from Canon/Sony/Nikon/DJI to Premiere Pro native MPEG-2/H.264 codec mov format on macos Sierra ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Premiere Pro CC, Premiere Pro CS6, etc.. 

In addition, it also offers other optimized codec for non-linear editing programs, such as DNxHD for Avid MC/Davinci Resolve, ProRes for FCP, etc. Moreover, it also is a professional video editing software to assist users with trimming, cropping, rotating, adjusting effects, attaching watermark, making 3D... to create your own videos. If you are a Windows user, you can turn to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for help.
