Summary: How to work DJI Phantom 3 4K in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer? I’ll try to give you a method to import DJI Phantom 3 4K to Premiere/FCP/Avid MC for editing without any loss.

A complete 4K camera and 3-axis gimbal system come integrated with the Phantom 3 Professional edition quadcopter from DJI. With the 4k camera, users can record up to 4K videos. However, I can’t successfully import the JI Phantom 3 4K to FCP, Adobe Premiere, Avid MC or other NLEs for editing. I’m searching for a solid answer for the DJI Phantom 3 4K to Premiere/FCP/Avid MC issues.

From the DJI Phantom 3 4K camera spec, I got to know it builds 4K videos in MOV wrapper. Generally, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer can support MOV format. But the problem is, the DJI Phantom 3 4K is encoded with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, which is a compressed format and not ideal for editing. Plus, expect for Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, the old version Final Cut Pro like FCP 6/7, Adobe Premiere like Premiere Pro CS4/CS5/CS6, Avid Media Composer like Avid MC 4/5/6/7 can’t support 4K video. To edit JI Phantom 3 4K in FCP, Adobe Premiere, Avid MC flawlessly, an ultimate solution is to transcode/compress DJI Phantom 3 4K files for FCP, Premiere, Avid.

To achieve the goal, a professional 4K Video Converter is what you need. Featured with the most advanced converting technology, Brorsoft 4K Video Converter for Mac is the optimal choice for you.
