Glad it makes the editing experience better. I have a 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro & I always edit using Proxy rather than optimised, since it transcodes quicker & the resolution difference is not that notice on a 13 inch screen that isn’t native 4k, so for a further performance boost i’d recommend...

You do not loose anything - however size will be a lot larger It transcodes the footage to Apple Prores, which is handled significant better by FCX. You will notice some high end drones - such as the Inspire can record directly to Prores - since this codec is of very high quality & saves fine...

When you import clips, tick the boxes ‘create optimised media’ and ‘create proxy media’. This will allow you to edit smoothly. Optimised media will transcode your clips into Prores, which plays back a lot smoother in final cut x, proxy files does the same, but at a lower resolution. If you are...

I posted a similar thread when I first tried out the h265 test footage from Toms Tech Time review of the MP2 Editing Mavic 2 Pro Test Footage Download (10 bit dlog) - Does it play back smoothly? I’m running a 13” MBP which is significantly less powerful than the 2017k iMac, so I guess it’s...

I have the free version of Davinchi Resolve and can confirm H265 clips are supported and playback on Mac OS Mojave

The metadata info you have posted does not match any of the files on Tomstechtime, are you referring to a different file? The info you have posted refers to a file named DJI_0025 with a file size of 276mb, length of 38 seconds and a framerate of 29.970 fps. The files hosted by TTT are...

I've also realised my 2016 Macbook Pro 13" cannot handle the h265 10 bit files without stuttering. I would suggest editing with proxies or converting to Prores (Optimised Media if you are using FCX). Both of these seem to run smoothly without dropping frames. As far as I know, 10bit is only...

Sorry I meant to say HEVC 10 bit, 8 bit HEVC 4k 60fps from my IPhone X or GoPro handles no problem, it just seem to be the 10 footage linked above, does your system handle the footage from Tomstechtime ok & do you have dedicated GPU (i’m using integrated which is likely an issue too)

I would be interested in testing this out too, trying both h264 and h265 files and see the performance differences. After doing abit more research, it definitely appears that the CPU is the bottleneck. Playback of HEVC (h265) files is very limited on the 6th gen Skylake processors, which is...

During iPhonedo’s review he mentions the 2 is quieter than the 1, but not as quiet as the MPP, he uses a dB reader and 2 is around 78db and MPP is around 75, so 3 dB as someone already mentioned is probably fairly accurate. Although as people have mentioned, the pitch/frequency is probably more...

Thanks for the response, interesting. It would be interesting to try both h.264 and h.265 and see if there’s any difference, could be a lack of optimisation for the newer codec. Or perhaps it’s just due to the 10bit footage being more demanding.

When watching the Mavic 2 Pro on Tomstechtime, he provided a link to download sample footage and raw photos so people could see the quality difference before deciding to purchase. I downloaded these to see how they compared to MP footage I am curious to see others experiences with...

The best thing to do it is experiment with longer exposures (3 seconds plus) and keep the ISO down. Use the histogram to see how the longer shutter will affect the exposure of the photo. You want to do it in low wind though since any movement of the drone will cause blur. The upcoming Mavic 2...

Looks good! May give these a go

Check out this video where they compare the Air & Pro in Singapore. I believe the air managed around 900m
