Convert DJI files Phantom 4 4K to Avid MC with 1080p DNxHD codec

The Phantom 4 is the best consumer drone that DJI has released to date. It takes everything we loved about the Phantom 3 Professional and improves upon it. DJI Phantom 4 record videos of DCI 4K resolution at 4096 x 2160 pixels at 25fps and 4K UHD at 3840 x 2160 pixels and 30 frames per second. If you recorded some 4K videos by DJI Phantom 4, you may like do some editing work with Phantom 4 4K footage videos in Avid Media Composer. However, you can't get rid of the trouble when importing P4 4K recordings to Avid MC like choppy output video from Avid, and lags or skipped frames even when exported to 1080p. 

You may expect the 4K support in Avid, since it seems like everything is shooting 4K these days. Although Sony have created a special Avid Media Access (AMA) plug-in for AVID, providing support for 4K files in Avid Media Composer, there's actually no way to edit a 4K project natively with Avid even the latest Media Composer v2018.1. Becides, handling 4K files in Avid MC is usually hardware intensive. Worse still, H.264 encoded MP4 or MOV file format from DJI Phantom 4 is beyond the compatibility of Avid Media Composer. Thus, you can't get a flawless 4K workflow in most cases.

To solve the problem, you need to convert Phantom 4 4K MP4/MOV files to Avid Media Composer most compatible format with proper video settings(1080p is recommended).
