DJI Mavic 3. There’s the 20MP wide-angle camera with 4/3″ CMOS from legendary camera maker Hasselblad and a 12MP telephoto with 1/2″ CMOS, 4K video, and 28x hybrid zoom. The video quality of the wide-angle Hasselblad on the Mavic 3 offers up to 5.1K resolution and DCI 4K at 120 fps. In addition to H.265 encoding, you can all shoot in standard H.265 profiles, but there is no HDR video on this drone.
Can we load DJI Mavic 3 H.265 footage into DaVinci Resolve for smoothly editing directly? As it is known, H.265 codecs are on the list of native video formats for import supported by DaVinci Resolve, many users are still getting error messages when they try to add the DJI Mavic 3 H.265 video into DaVinci Resolve (the latest DaVinci Resolve 17 included). DaVinci Resolve generally supports MOV and MP4 importing. However, sometimes, you found it’s a painful experience add your DJI Mavic 3 files (.mp, .mov) to DaVinci Resolve for editing. And you may encounter problems like these:
“I got a tons of footage from DJI Mavic 3 which is shoot in 4K in h265 codec. It took so long to import to DaVinci Resolve.”
“The DJI Mavic 3 .mov files have the H.265 codec, but when I’m trying to import them to DaVinci Resolve I get this error message: “Invalid file name”. If I try to drag them directly into the bin, nothing happens.”
Many folks are facing the H.265 importing issues with DaVinci Resolve even with the latest DaVinci Resolve 17. As far as I know, is a video compression standard designed as part of the MPEG-H project as a successor to the widely used Advanced Video Coding (AVC, H.264, or MPEG-4 Part 10). If your DJI Mavic 3 H.265 files are not accepted by DaVinci Resolve 17, 16, 15, it’s probably because of the video or audio codec incompatibility. On this occasion, you need to transcode H.265 to the DaVinci Resolve editing-friendly formats and then transfer the converted video files to your DaVinci Resolve for editing.
