a flawless way to merge raw 4K video files

[cinclodes]

I haven't yet gotten a Mavic, but I just found a convenient way to combine the series of raw 4K video files that are created by a Phantom 4 Pro. If the Mavic does something similar, this might be useful for owners of that model. I work on a Mac and had always used Quicktime to merge files. With this approach, a few black frames are introduced at the interface between files. I never found a fix for this problem -- until now. With Shutter Encoder, it's easy to eliminate this problem fast and with no loss in quality. If you just do a merge with Shutter Encoder, the black frames will be replaced by a brief pause (curiously, there is no pause when played back with VLC, but there is a pause when played back with Quicktime or on YouTube). The pause can be eliminated by first doing an extract with Shutter Encoder and then doing a merge of those files.

I use Cyberlink Power Director regulary for the last several years. When I add 4k files to a timeline, it is a seamless video when saved to mp4. No blackouts or stutters.

Easy in Avidemux too. Single step, no drops or pauses...

You can also use ffmpeg to concatenate video files with out having to reencode them.
