Video Skipping

Newton Heath · Dec 3, 2018

Could somebody please watch this video from around 40 seconds and then around the 1 minute mark explain if this is normal when recording on the MP2? card onboard was 4K compatible.

Cheers.

Thats not how the onboard card should be capturing video. You have a Class 10 SD Card I assume from your comment. With the U3 specifier as noted in this picture. Or U1 will also work .

Try copying all of your important files to a backup location from the SD card and then perform a format of the card using the DJIGO4 application. Then take more video to determine if there is still skipping of the frames.

What codec are you using? 164 or 165.

BD0G · Dec 3, 2018

You mean H.264 or H.265
With H.265 being very processor intensive to use that compression algorithm.

Fearless Flight · Dec 3, 2018

Yeah I had problems with H.265 on all but my Desktop computers.

Newton Heath · Dec 3, 2018

H.265 and card was compatible as shown in image above.

I went back to H.264 and haven’t had a problem. The problem with H.265 is that it is so processor intensive that a large portion of the computers cannot handle it.

I don’t want to spend a bunch of time doing something and then send it to someone who doesn’t have the capability to view it smoothly so until that changes I’m sticking with H.264.

You Basically need a 1070 graffix card just to edit the 4k h.265 Its shocking dji has only given normal log in h.264 on the mavic 2

This footage is recorded on the correct card and formatted before use. The computer used to process film footage is an i7 with 16 gig of ram. The computer did not make the footage skip it was imported directly to the computer hard drive. Any other suggestions of why the footage could be skipping so bad?

What graphics card you using the h.265 needs a very good card anything over a nvadia 1070 will do.
Here's just the system requirements just to Edit 4k
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit version only)

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.0 GHz or AMD Ryzen 7 1700X @ 3.4 GHz or equivalent.

Video Card:: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 SLI or AMD RX Vega 56 CFX (8GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better)

RAM: 16GB.

Resolution: 2160p.

Video Preset: High/Ultra.

That skipping is what it does when your comp can't keep up it's **** annoying that just to Edit the files from the Mavic 2 in 10 bit dlog you need to have a 1500 grand set up as well, don't tell you that before you buy the drone

Premier Pro has the proxy option which will allow one to make all edits on down sampled video that is directly linked to the higher resolution 4 K footage. Its much faster than trying to edit the RAW 4 K video files.

Newton Heath · Dec 4, 2018

BDOG how do go about using the proxy option? Gavieboydji thank you for that information, much appreciated.

Newton: If you have Adobe Premiere Pro, have a look at this video on how to use proxies.

How To Use Proxies in Premiere

Its take a little while for the 4 K video to be associated with its counterpart lower resolution video during the first step , but after that the video is much more easily manipulated.

And for the OP, this is because using proxies requires that Adobe Media Encoder must be called up to render the new, lower resolution file and that's the extra time BDOG was talking about. But, unless the sequence in question is super long, this encoding process takes very little time. And, of course, you have to do this for every H.265 clip you want to use in the final video.

That video I mentioned above talks about all this and he even gives you free "Ingest" presets that you can add to the project and then any subsequently imported H.265 files will be automatically ingested and downsampled by Media Encoder.

Thanks Guys I watched a youtube video on using proxies and unfortunately my recorded film is stuttering from source. I have the original files and tried the proxie method and it does not take away what is actually recorded onboard. But it is a great feature that i will obviously use in the future. I think its been proven my unit was faulty prior to purchase.

Newton: Yep, it kinda sounds that way but, you'll get yours or a new one back pretty quickly I imagine and..

HEY! You learned about proxies in the process! That's definitely a plus and you'll be that much further ahead of the game if you try editing some previous footage so you can get the hang of ingest presets and proxy files and then you get to learn about "export" which are essentially details for the rendering engine.

I love using proxies as it makes things SO much easier and snappier even on my pretty decent desktop confuser and editing the lower rez version hasn't bothered me a bit. The rendered videos are exactly as I expected them to be, every time. And I DON'T have to start buying higher-powered PC parts just to edit the same video in full rez. Seems like a good choice to moi.

Sorry again about the problem but you'll be flying and filming again before you know it.

U1 is about the same as class 10 so it won't work.
