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?

What I did to fix it is;

 

open Adobe Media Encoder

on the right side of the program there is a 'Queue' of files to encode

drag & drop the files that are choppy, aka your drone media files 

& hit the green play button to run the encoder.

 

I didn't change any settings, im using the stock settings & these encoded files worked smoothly on my Premiere timeline!

Hey D,

Sounds like you transcoded the files back to H.264. I'm still a little confused, though, I thought you already exported them and couldn't play them back. Are you saying you exported these outputs a second time and then they worked? Sorry if I'm not understanding.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

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.
