Yes. The latest version.

Thanks. I have tried several new projects & it is still hit & miss whether FCP will create Proxy files or optimised. Quite random. I think I will take my next footage in 2.7K & see hat happens with that.

Thanks. I have 100% found that the problem is FCPX not transcoding 4K files on import. Sometimes it does & sometimes it doesn't. I now know that I can tell from the inspector panel if it has done them or not. I will keep trying to get to the root of this problem.

Not condescending at all. I asked for help & you are trying to do that for me thanks. You have no way of knowing my level of expertise (or not!) with FCP. ATM I am trying to remove clips from the project & reimport them but they will not transcode on import. Any clips that have not already...

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I7, 16GB Ram. My apologies, I understand the compound clip concept but I didn't see how it applied to my situation & thought that perhaps I was misunderstanding something about the import process. Initially I am just importing "raw" footage from an SD card...

I have 16GB of RAM. The free trial sounds like a good idea. Thanks

Yes I have it set to create an optimised version. It is 4K 24FPS. Sorry what is the compound clip again? Thanks

Thanks. It is almost impossible to edit in the original state with all of the flickering so what would your suggestion be with regards to workflow to produce a video please?

OK thanks, I just tried that & no, they aren't...I've been using FCP for years & I have never seen that before. What's the explanation? Is there one? TIA

Hi I wonder if anyone can help with this query. I have searched for any other threads but I can't see any that are about the same problem. Basically when I import video from the Mavic Pro to my laptop, a MacBook Pro, I can view it with quicklook or Quicktime absolutely fine. In fact it looks...

Ha ha, yes indeed!

Thanks, a good tip. I did have all my batteries charged, compass calibrated etc. However the "Downward Sensors Not Operating" (or something like that) warning only started after a very successful little flight. I brought it back to land & the warning came up & said that precision landing...

OK all. Thanks again for your comments. All working now...don't ask me why 'cos I don't know! Deleted DJI Assistant, restarted computer, re installed app, restarted computer...ad infinitum until eventually it just came up with a Captcha code! Just one of those frustrating things that...

Yes I am thanks. Yes it is VERY frustrating. I had an error message about downward sensors being inop on the BEST flying day there has been for ages. So I had to give up and come home to calibrate. I was then going to go back out but I can't even open the software...

Will do. Thanks very much for your help.
