Question

Mavic 2 footage becomes a still frame once rendered

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue at any point. I have the Mavic 2 drone, the footage has worked flawlessly in Premiere for the last year until a few days ago. I can kind of scrub through a clip before its rendered and get a sense of what it is, but once I render it, it becomes a still frame. If the clip is long enough, it'll go to a second or third still frame but can not play at all. Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to shed some light. I have tried most basic setting changes such as the render and sequence options.

Rendering as in preview or export?

Rendering as in preview! It starts in the preview and if i try an export then its still just the still image. Also should mention that my regular panasonic camera footage is working totally fine during all of this. Only the DJI Mavic footage.

I think there is something going on with DJI codecs and prem at the moment, I've had weird issues since updating with everything other than the inspire 2. What file type are you using ProRes etc? 

Also  if you reverse the clip do you get an issue?

as a work around for now just right click select render and replace and transcode the clip into something else, it will allow you to at least get an edit together untill you figure it out. 


Might be a good idea to do a Render and Replace.

DJI files are not very edit friendly.
