Question

DJI Mavic Air clips are freezing/lagging/choppy when exported

Just finished a job of 6 videos & on the 2nd set of revisions every single drone clip is acting up in premiere & when exported. The clip freezes/lags/chops & I do not know why, I've tried so many different things. Using different clips, changing export settings, nothing seems to fix it. HELP

I had the same problem.
Clearing the cache, reinstalling Premier, and transcoding the material did not work.
And then I tried to export directly in Premiere, not in Encoder as I did before. And the video exported fine) Maybe it will help you, have a nice day

I'm experiencing the same issues as well. I have no idea how to fix the lagging/freezing clips. Have you been able to resolve the issue?

If they're drone clips ... typically H.264/265 ... those are some of the nastiest media to work with in an NLE. On some systems, you really need to transcode to an editing codec. Like ProRes 422, DNxHD/R, or Cineform. Or at least, make ProRes, DNx, or Cineform proxies.

Hi, thanks for your help! Got the same issue for a few days since i updated Premiere Pro - do you know if there is any quality loss if i open them with Media Encoder?
Maybe i understand this wrong but isnt it the same like rendering a video??

Good evening,

Have these clips ever been able to playback on your computer, or is this a new behavior?

 

Thanks,
Kevin

They playback perfectly fine as the original clip opened in media player on windows.
