Is there any software that I could use to import my Mavic Air 2 footage and get it to do 3d mapping? I don't want to put a lot into it and I am not ready to buy that expensive of a drone yet lol.

DJI has not released the SDK for the Air 2 so software developers are not able to make software that works with the Air 2 as yet.
 
I actually saw that article last night but I am still unsure if I could import my pictures/video from my A2 and make them 3d. I apologize if this seems like a trivial question, but I am extremely new to all this.
There are two stages in using mapping apps.
The first is for planning a mapping flight and carrying out the flight to capture the required images with large overlaps.
The second is creating the map from the images.
They don't care what drone or app was used in capturing the images.
But it's unlikely that you could manually shoot the required images with precise overlaps without an app to do it for you.

I use Agisoft Metashape. It takes multiple photos flown in a cross pattern to create amazing 3D images. Not sure about what your "footage." If "video" footage, you are out of luck there. I am tempted to create multiple images using the 45 wayhpoints and 2 seconds per shot and hoping I get enough overlap. With DroneDeploy, not yet available on MA2, the overlap between photos is about 75 or 80% to get the 3D effect.
