The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 is a point and shoot camera, which in general means it is more portable than DSLRs but takes lower quality pictures. I can't say why you have issues though, none of my pc's struggle with the M2P files, even my 'toy' HP 850G3 (only has Intel integrated 600 series graphics) plays them back without issue, and any of my 'real' machines can edit in Premier without frame rate stutters or drops with just barrel roll and colour grading, premier can start dropping frames if effects are added though on all my machines, and all 3 of my machines I edit on are pretty beefy (all i9 with either Quadro or gForce gpus), so not sure.Summary: In this article you will learn the best way to import Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 files to Avid Media Composer and editing natively, with the method offered in this article you can easily import Sony DSC-HX80 XAVC S files, AVCHD files to Avid Media Composer. But maybe got the wrong end of the stick there.
What gpu / cpu combo you using, and using AMD/nVidia drivers or WHQL Microsoft ones? Perhaps upload a small example we can have a look see if it's a drone recording issue or a pc issue for whatever reason?

Also the Sony action cameras shoot 4k in h264 8bit 50mb/s or XAVC 100mb/s I believe, correct me if wrong, as both of those codecs are actually x264 variants (XAVC is a version 5.2 H264 codec) I know the gh5 shoots 10bit x265, but that is at 72mb/s, not not million miles off but still not 100mb/s. Now is the time to fix the codec.Ĭlick to expand.X262 isn't H265, x262 is an mpg2 codec. The clips were split after the 4gb limit was reached and a file started.Įventually DJI fixed this problem which other manufacturers had long since solved. I also remember when DJI video clips missed a few frames when recording long video shots. I would like to suggest we canvas DJI to improve their codec. Of course you can create proxy files to speed things up but this should not be needed when other 4K codecs are more efficient.
All other 4K video clips play smoothly except DJI clips.Ĭuriously the dji 4K clips play ok when playing on video players like VLC and Microsoft Media but not once on a timeline in any editing software.
However even lower bit rate DJI video clips from any of my DJI machines cause my machine to stutter when playing on the timeline.
My computer, a recent build windows 10 machine, will easily play back and edit 4k video clips at very high bitrates from the Panasonic GH5 and Sony A7 3.
However I believe the DJI video codec is very inefficient when compared to Sony and Panasonic 4 k codecs. In all of these products I mainly take video, preferably 4k at the highest frame rate. I use many of DJI's products including Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic Zoom, Phantom 4 Pro and Osmo Pocket.
