In this post, you will see top 5 4k video editing software, some for Mac, some for Windows, hope you will find the best one you desire.

NO. 1 Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Adobe Premiere Pro deserves its place as the industry standard video editing software, thanks to its familiar nonlinear editing interface, unmatched ecosystem of tools, and powerful set of capabilities. Since my last look at the massive application, it has added support for 360 VR content, 4K (and higher) and HDR video, and the Lumetri Color tool. It has also added class-leading collaboration capabilities. All of this makes Premiere well worthy of an ditors' Choice award for professional-level video-editing software.

NO. 2 Adobe Effects CC

If you're a movie maker and you need to create some special effects, chances are you’re probably already thinking of Adobe’s After Effects. It’s been available for 24 years and under the stewardship of Adobe since 1995. Just like Premiere, it is a powerhouse for videographers and often the only app they need to transform shots, apply effects and create dazzling titles.

NO. 3 Apple Final Cut Pro X

Apple Final Cut Pro X comes as a well known professoinal level video editing software for Mac users, treads a fine line between consumers who want more power for their video-editing projects than iMovie offers and professionals who create content for movies and TV. Used extensively in the professional movie industry, as well as amongst amateurs, the latest version comes with full support for full resolution 4K ProRes in multiple streams.

NO. 4 iMovie

iMovie has a beautiful simple interface, it offers color matching for consistent movie looks, classy themes, and great chroma-keying tool. Unlike professional video editor, in the name of simplicity, some useful controls are missing. It lacks multi-cam or motion tracking capabilities. Apple iMovie has, however, added support for 4K video, and more sharing options. And it still maintains some of the best storyboard-based movie making tools for novices—Trailers and Movies—along with excellent green-screen and soundtrack capabilities.

NO. 5 CyberLink PowerDirector 16 Ultra

This program helps beginners learn the basics of video editing without sacrificing the needs of more advanced users. This latest edition of PowerDirector supports 64 bit processors for faster editing, and of course, new support for 4K resolution videos. At under $100, CyberLink PowerDirector 16 Ultra comes amazingly close to being as advanced and capable as software that is priced multiple times more than it; making it an ideal choice for the budget conscious video editing enthusiast.

There are countless software options for video editing, but not all are created equally. Many of them do not yet have support for 4K editing. Below, we have listed top 5 4k video ediitng software that do support 4k videos which widely used throughout the film making community.

 

Top 1. Adobe Preimere Pro CC

Another video editing application that is considered to be at the highest end is Adobe's Premier Pro. As with most of Adobe's software, Premiere Pro is now part of the Creative Cloud plan. This requires paying a monthly fee to use the application via Adobe's cloud service.

Top 2. Apple Final Cut Pro X

Apple's professional and prosumer-level video editing software, Final Cut Pro X, treads a fine line between consumers who want more power for their video-editing projects than iMovie offers and professionals who create content for movies and TV. It does a remarkable job of bridging these two worlds, and though pros may complain about its nontraditional trackless timeline and amateurs may scratch their heads over some of its wealth of sophisticated options, it's a magnificent tool for both. The competition just can't match Final Cut Pro X, so it's our Editors' Choice.

Can You Edit GoPro Hero6 Footages with iMovie? Tips for You!

You've been on the holiday to end all holidays, captured hours of stunning footage and now it's time to do something with it. Great, the boring bit. While GoPro Hero6 are brilliant bits of kit, turning all that raw footage into something shareable, memorable and entertaining can be a bit of a chore. For Mac users, iMovie would be a good choice for you to edit your video and share with family and friends. However, have you met some issues when you try to import GoPro Hero6 footages to iMovie for further editing? Don't worry, you will find solid answer from this article.

As we all know, GoPro records in MPEG-4 and outputs its files as .MP4 files (the container). GoPro Hero6 pumps up its video and photo cred by adding a brawnier processor chip which unlocks 4K video shooting at 60p, or 60 full frames per second. Moreover, in order to pull off these new shooting modes, GoPro's leveraging the new-school video codec, High-Efficiency Video Coding (aka H.265). That's great since HEVC is, as its name implies, a high-efficiency way of recording video. Now, we have already had a rough idea of what we can get form GoPro Hero6, now we have to discuss about what video format and codec does iMovie use.

iMovie is a Mac OS X or iOS based video editing software application created by Apple Inc. iMovie supports multiple video formats and allows you to create projects that are tailored to your specific video format. You can use the following formats in iMovie: DV, HDV, AVCHD, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, Apple ProRes, Motion JPEG/A, iFrame, h.264, some, but not all, varieties of MP4, MOV. As .mov or .mp4 is a container, if it contains video codec in one of the above, it will import to iMovie, or it will fail to import to iMovie.

Up to now, I believe that you may be clearer about what we will talk about next. As we all know, MP4 is not friendly to non-linear editing software. So you need to find a more compatiable format to iMovie. Here comes MOV. A MOV file is a common multimedia container file format developed by Apple and compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms. And MOV file extension is one of the most used video container format in video editing softwares.

So converting GoPro Hero6 MP4 to MOV will be the best choice, however, you need a third software which can help you ahieve this goal. Pavtube Video Converter/for Mac is highly recommend to you which will never let you down by converting GoPro Hero6 MP4 to QuickTime(*.mov), H.264 HD Video(*.mov), iMovie native format - Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC)(*.mov), Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, and more.

Although Apple has cliamed that macOS High Sierra could support play HEVC files, if you worry about if GoPro Hero6 h.265 files will be imported into iMovie or not, you can convert GoPro HEVC to h.264 for successfully editing via iMovie. Moreover, GoPro Hero6 will shoot 4k video at 60p, if you have got such kind of video then edit it with iMovie but it is very jerky, now it is time to use Pavtube Video Converter to change 4k video at 60p to 30p for smooth edit. Follwing we will go with Mac version to help you convert GoPro Hero6 footage to iMovie for perfect edit.

Step By Step to Convert GoPro Hero6 to iMovie for Edit

Step 1: Download Mac version and import GoPro Hero6 4K HEVC footage

Download Mac version on your Mac, open it, you can click the "Load file" or "Add Video" icon on the main interface to import 4K HEVC files into the program. Or you can directly drag or drop GoPro 4k HEVC into it.

How to Play DJI Mavic Pro 4K Video on iPad

"I have the Apple iPad mini 4 that I use as the display while flying the Mavic Pro. Today I put the SD card from the Mavic Pro into the Apple SD card reader for my iPad mini 4. The iPad Photos app recognized the 4K video as content that it could import, and it did the import when I selected the 4K video.The iPad Photos app would not play the 4K video, saying it did not recognize the video format."

"I have the same problem with my iPad Pro and trying to play .mov 4K video files."

"I just got the same results on my iPhone 7 Plus."

"I have the same problem with my ipad air 2 and my iphone 7 plus. From camera roll is not compatible the 4k video."

...

I believe a lot of DJI Mavic Pro users have met the same problem above. Before giving the solution, let's find out the reason to the problem. As we all know, we can get .mov,.mp4 from DJI Mavic Pro, MP4 comes as the most pupolar video format in this world, meanwhile, MOV is for iOS Apple products. Usually, DJI MOV file can be played well on iPad, iPhone, but 4k MOV may be an exception. In addition, MOV, MP4 are just containers, which cover various and different video/audio code, it is common and sad if your DJI 4k MOV, MP4 files can't be recognized by your iPad, iPhone. After searching and testing the methods, I have listed 3 solutions for you to make reference.

3 Methods to Play DJI Mavic Pro 4K Video on iPad Successfully

Method 1:

If you meet this issue that you can't play DJI Mavic Pro 4k on iPad and know nothing about the reasons, you can download the third app on your iPad to help you achieve this goal. During the test, I have found several apps which may help you to play 4k footage instead of using Apple photo app: DG Player, Oplayer HD and more. If you still fail to play 4k footage, you can try more apps. Not sure if it downscale or what it does, but it plays them.

Method 2:

One reason that you can't play 4k on iPad is 4K resolution footage from DJI Phantom 4 can’t be supported well. To solve this issue, you can downscale 4k to 1080p, or 2k with a professional 4k compressor. This method also can help you successfully import converted 4k to Final Cut Pro, iMovie for editing without any obstacle.

Method 3:

Since MOV, MP4 container include different video/audio codec, you needn't to know depth about how to solve this, you just need to get a all-in-one converter which can convert DJI Mavic Pro 4k to iPad acceptable format without video quality loss.

When you search on Google, you will find tons of 4k compressors and 4k video converters, you don't have to try one by one, cause you will find the best one in this article you will never regret meeting it. Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac combines a video compressor and video converter into one software. 

Firstly, it can transcode 4K video in any format such as 4K MKV, 4K MTS, 4K XAVC, 4K AVCHD, even 4K Blu-ray to iPad series supported .mp4 .mov .m4v formats. Secondly, you can compress 3840×2160 and 4096x2160 4K video to 2048 x 1536 or 1092x1080 video for the iPad series. Thirdly, you can freely adjust the video size as you want in "Settings" and you also can configure the video and audio encoder, bitrate, etc. Fourthly, you can trim the 4K video length, merge 4K footages into one file, add subtitles to your video and more before output video for iPad.

Step-by-Step to Convert and Compress 4K video for iPad

Step 1: Import DJI Mavic Pro 4K Footages

Do you care the price? Size? Resolution? or other factors? We have chosen out the best 4K DSLR cameras for you, we collect the detailed information about them, you can refer to these information and make the final decision.

  Product Price Low light ability Sensor Video resolution Digital image stabilization

Panasonic HC-X1 4K UHD Camcorder

$3,199.99 1"-Type MOS Sensor 4k at up to 60 fps

Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 4.6K Digital Cinema Camera

Sony PXW-Z100 4K Handheld XDCAM Camcorder

$4,499.00 1/2.3" Exmore R CMOS Sensor 4k at up to 60 fps

Best DSLR 4K Cameras

Top 1. Panasonic HC-X1 4K UHD Camcorder

Review: There is no doubt that Panasonic HC-X1 4K UHD Camcorder will help you take your video productions to another level. It can create footage in DCI and UHD quality and you can capture scenes in MOV, MP4, and AVCHD file formats. The camera has 1"-Type MOS Sensor which creates the background blur that is a trademark of professional film cameras. However, HC-X1 is a camcorder and for those who are used to interchangeable lens cameras, it may not be the right choice. On the other hand, its features guarantee that you will be able to produce footage of the highest standard.

Top 2. Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 4.6K Digital Cinema Camera

This is a camera that can be used to shoot full-feature or indie films. One of its many advantages over the cameras with similar capabilities is its size. The combinations of size and the EF lens mount that allows you to use a large number of different lenses enables you to shoot a wide range of different cinematic styles with this camera. Super-35mm CMOS Sensor, Compressed Raw Recording, and a maximum video resolution of 4608 x 2592 are just a few reasons why this camera is a great choice, but its downsides include the below average performance in low light conditions and no ND filters.

Top 3.Nikon D500

Nikon fans may argue that Nikon D500 is one of the best cameras for less than perfect conditions. Camera's weather sealed body along with the maximum ISO value at 1640000 speak volumes about what it can do in difficult light and weather conditions. Needless to say, Nikon D500 supports 4K UHD video recording at 30, 25 and 24 FPS frame rates. Perhaps the biggest flaw of this camera is its price because at $1,996.95 it is one of the most expensive APS-C DSLR cameras on the market. On the other hand, it is one of the most feature-packed DSLRs and it is most certainly worth investing in.

Top 4. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Over the years Canon cameras have been the best choice a photographer can make when buying a new camera. EOS 5D Mark IV isn't just an excellent choice for photographers, but for videographers as well. The video options are enhanced by the addition of Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF that help shooter control focus with ease. The camera can shoot 4K videos at 30FPS and it can capture still frames at an amazing 8.8MP. The biggest downside of this model is that HDMI output is limited to 1080p, which can hardly be counted as a flaw, considering the possibilities this camera provides.

Top 5. Sony PXW-Z100 4K Handheld XDCAM Camcorder

Sony PXW-Z100 is a perfect choice for someone who wants to shoot a documentary style video in 4K. The camcorder creates true 4K footage at up to 60FPS or 50FPS and it has a maximum resolution of 4096X2160 pixels. The 1/2.3" Exmore R CMOS Sensor and XAVC 4:2:2 10-bit Intra Frame Codec vouch that this is indeed one of the best pieces of equipment on the current market. The G Lens with 20X optical zoom is optimized for shooting in 4K and it provides a 30mm wide angle view. For those used to using more than just one lens, this is probably PXW-Z100's greatest flaw.

Take Full Use of the 4K Camera Recordings with Best 4K Video Converter

When you watch the 4k video on TV, you may meet some troubles, for example: The TV screen is black or you get the error message shows that your TV can't recognize your 4K videos.

3 Professional Methods to Solve "DJI 4K Don't Play on VLC"

DJI drones has claimed a market share of half or more rescently. Some models of drones such as DJI Phantom 4 Pro, DJI Inspire, can shoots DCI 4K (4096 X 2160) video and UHD 4K (3480 X 2160) video compressed with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec in MOV wrapper, however finding a proper media player to play is a head-scratching task and turn into an agony when you lack a super computer. Here you will find the way to solve this problem, read on.

When we search on Google, we found that "DJI 4K vdieo don't play on VLC" would be a common problem. Even quite powerful i7 SSD PC don't play DJI Inspire / Phantom 4K 100Mbps bitrate video properly. A practicable way is to slow speed to 0.67, Media Player Classic (k-lite codecs) runs and play those 4k footage smoothly. However, for VLC fans, they give up this way.

 

Why VLC Can't Play DJI 4K Footage?

3 Method to Play DJI 4K Footage on VLC Smoothly

Method 1: Update VLC to 2.2.6 version

Method 2: Enable Hardware Acceleration in VLC to Play DJI 4K Video

Method 3: Downscale DJI 4K Video to 1080p for VLC Smooth Playback

 

Why VLC Can't Play DJI 4K Footage?

In fact, the 4K video playback including DJI 4K recordings with VLC has strict requirements on the computer's processor and graphics chip. Sometimes, even if your computer meets the requirements, you may find that DJI 4K video plays back choppy. This is due to the immense processing power required to play 4K. You can try the below 3 methods to handle the problems.

3 Method to Play DJI 4K Footage on VLC Smoothly

Method 1: Update VLC to 2.2.6 Version

With preparation for Ultra-HD video and a special care to support more formats, 2.2 is a major upgrade for VLC. Download it here and re-open your DJI Phantom 4 4K videos in VLC Player for 4K video playback.

Note: Although version 2.2.6 of VLC offers 4K playback support, it still does not support 4K video from DJI Phantom 4 playback perfectly: there is stutters, not showing audio, etc issues.

Method 2: Enable Hardware Acceleration in VLC to Play DJI 4K Video

If you ungrade VLC verison but still fail to play DJI 4k on VLC, you can try the second method. You can fix this issue by enabling the GPU accelerated decoding feature in VLC, this feature in theory uses the processing power of the graphic card to lighten the load on the processor of the system.

However, according to VLC's GPU decoding page, this feature is only available for H.264 streams. In addition, as the data is decoded in the GPU at the decoding stage and then transferred back to the player so that the other stages, filtering and streaming for instance, can be processed, this process can under under circumstances be slower than without GPU acceleration enabled. What's more, the VLC GPU decoding is only available for select operating systems. While Windows Vista and newer versions of the Microsoft operating system are supported, Windows XP is not at this point in time. The majority of graphic cards should support hardware acceleration just fine. Make sure you have installed the latest drivers though.

How to enable hardware acceleration in VLC?

Open VLC Media Player and click on Tools > Preferences or press Ctrl-P to open the settings window of the program. If you are using the simple settings interface, click on Input & Codecs on the left sidebar and check the Use GPU accelerated decoding box there.

VLC Enable GPU Acceleration

If you are using the "all" interface select Input/Codecs > Video Codecs > FFmpeg > Hardware decoding instead to enable acceleration this way.

Click on the save button afterwards and restart the media player to work with the new setting. Try playing several video files to see if hardware acceleration makes a difference in terms of playback. If it does, keep the setting enabled. If it does not, just go back to the settings to uncheck the option again.

Method 3: Downscale DJI 4K Video to 1080p for VLC Smooth Playback

It will be GPU consuming and very jerky if you play DJI 4k footage on VLC media player, and if you don't possess a powerful computer, that will be worse. So how about compressing your DJI 4k to 1080p that will be compatible with most devices, like smartphone, tablets, labtops, or game console. By the way, this way has lower requirements on the computer's processor and graphics chip than 4K video.
