DJI & NLEs: Edit DJI Phantom 4 4k videos in After Effects CC

As an amazing invention, DJI Phantom can take people’s sight to anywhere in the sky. Most people want to edit DJI Phantom 4 4K videos in After Effects CC or other video editing applications for adding some effects. However, they always find After Effects CC doesn’t work fine with DJI Phantom 4K videos.

I am doing some inspire 1 4K video editing, I see my desktop is very powerful(CPU : I7-4770 3.4 ghz, 8 cores, Graphic card: nvidia GTX 660, RAM: 16G, disc: SSD 256G), however, when I palyback the video in After Effects, it's very choppy, and not easy to do the editting, and I see my CPU got 100% occupied. Does any pros have any ideas on this?

The DJI Phantom 4 professional captured 4K video in MP4 or MOV(up to 4096×2160 24 / 25p, 60 Mbps, with MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 codec) format. After Effects CC can handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. 

In addition, the DJI Phantom 4 4K video footage compressed with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 will still have big file size, it will take a lot of time for Premiere to render those 4K videos.

To solve those problems, the quick workaround is to convert DJI Phantom 4 4K MP4/MOV to After Effects CC natively supported formats MPEG-2 in 2K resolution. Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review) is now providing the most reliable and professional 4K solutions to all format issues including 4K XAVC/XAVC S, 4K MP4, 4K MTS, 4K MXFand more.

More important, with this professional 4K Video Converter, you can compress the resolution of DJI Phantom 4 4K footage from 4096*2160P to 1920*1080P so that you the video clips easier for Premiere CC to render.

AVI & Element: Edit AVI in Adobe Premiere Elements 13/12

Today, I sat down and tried to record gameplay. When I was done recording, I compressed the video file using the XVid Codec. This is when the problem starts. When I open up Premiere Elements and try to import the file it won't work.

The error is: "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed".

Is there a different codec I should install or should I try another professional video editing software? I'm not sure why a payware like Premiere Elements wouldn't read it.

AVI is a container also called wrapper, it is the codec that is inside that determines whether or not it will be supported. Well, it comes down to codec, various codec’s play a role in almost every AV file. You may noticed that, AVI can play pretty well in Windows Media Player, VLC Player or QuickTime Player, but can not work with Adobe Premiere Elements.

Adobe Premiere Elements is built around a DV-AVI workflow. (DV-AVIs are AVI files that use the DV codec.) This means that DV-AVIs flow easily through it and place the least strain on Premiere Elements. Unfortunately, not all AVIs use the DV codec, just like you record gameplay with XVid Codec, and many (such as video from still cameras) can cause real problems for Adobe Premiere Elements.

If you get AVI files in other codec other than DV codec, it is sad to say that you are refused to import AVI to Adobe Premiere Pro for editing unless you convert AVI videos to Adobe Premiere Elements supported videos.

To solve all of the Premiere Elements and AVI issues and save your time to understand these complicated codecs and download them for video editing in Adobe Premiere Elements, a simple workaround is to convert AVI to Adobe Premiere Elements edit-friendly format. 

You can use Pavtube Video Converter (Review) to get rid of trouble effortlessly. This video app can help you convert AVI into Premiere Elements compatible format(.mov, .wmv, .mpg) with least quality loss. Plus, with the built-in video editor, you can also choose to trim, crop, add watermark to your original videos. 

If you running on Mac OS, please get the Mac Version (10.11 El Capitan included). Now just download its free trail version and follow the below guide to convert AVI for editing in Adobe Premiere Elements.

How to Import and Edit DNxHD MXF to Adobe After Effects CC/CS6

I have AE CS6 on my laptop and desktop machine. I also have AE CC on both. When I try to import an Avid DNxHD clip into After Effects CC I get a beach ball. There must be something wrong with the Avid codec, since it works with AE CS6 perfectly. What might be the problem.

I was experimenting with the Boris Transfer plug-in and have been unable to get the DNxHD MXF media to be recognized, though it will pull in the Adobe After Effects. It just won't recognize the media.

Is it possible to import native Avid DNxHD MXF media files into After Effects CC/CS6?

After multi-test I confirmed that MXF import is basically limited to P2 and XDCAM.

The easiest way to get at this DNxHD MXF media can be imported into After Effects CC/CS6 is to encode DNxHD MXF to a Quicktime basic codec. In AE, you can render DNxHD to Quicktime container directly.

If you have to transcode the footage to QTs , I thought this would be a more efficient way to work with DNxHD MXF in After Effects CC/CS6. However, it will be long-time duration for encoding the DNxHD MXF to Quicktime.

All-in-one solution for transcoding DNxHD MXF to After Effects CC/CS6

The best solution is to convert DNxHD MXF to MPEG-2, the format which is proved to be the most compatible one with all the Adobe products, including Adobe After Effects CC. 

Here I highly recommend Pavtube iMixMXF (Best Mac (multi-track) MXF Converter Review) which could be the professional DNxHD MXF converting tool that can work theDNxHD MXF well with Adobe After Effects CC/CS6. It can support the multiple audios as output, would you like to have a try?
