Finally, a flying camera that packs years of experience in aerial imaging into one compact, easy to use system. With the Phantom 3 Professional, you’re shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and capturing 12 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. A live HD view lets you truly experience flight and see everything from your camera in real time.

From the DJI Phantom 3 4K camera spec, I got to know it builds 4K videos in MOV wrapper. Generally, Avid Media Composer can support MOV format. But the problem is, the DJI Phantom 3 4K is encoded with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, which is a compressed format and not ideal for editing. Plus, Avid Media Composer like Avid MC 4/5/6/7 can’t support 4K video. To edit DJI Phantom 3 4K video in Avid MC flawlessly, an ultimate solution is to convert Phantom 3 4K video to DNxHD MOV for Avid.

Then what is the best video tool to deal with Phantom 3 4K video in Avid MC? I searched on the web and find an easy-to-use yet professional software called Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review), it is only straightforward 4K converter which offers the best way to help the users of Phantom 3 to edit 4K videos in Avid MC smoothly by effortlessly and flawlessly transcode 4K footage to DNxHD MOV.
