The DJI Inspire 1 shoots up to 4K video and captures 12 megapixel photos. The lens consists of 9 separate elements, including an aspherical element, for extreme clarity, while Adobe DNG RAW support gives you the power to make every shot a masterpiece.
The camera records MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compressed MP4 video wrapped in a MOV container. After the video capture, you may going to have some professional post work-flow of the Inspire 1 video footage with Final Cut Pro X. Although FCP X has native support for H.264 codec, however, it is not an efficient format. Which means you will have a more faster and better editing workflow if you transcode DJI Inspire 4K H.264 video into something more friendly.
Apple Prores, the native editing codec by Final Cut Pro X, provides an unparalleled combination of impressive image quality and reduced storage rates. To generate Apple Prores from DJI Inspire One for FCP X, Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac can be your splendid choice. The program can comprehensively produce 4 different types of Apple Prores codec from DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire One for FCP X editing.
Tips: For high performance and better image quality, you can choose to output Prores 422 or Prores 422 (HQ) format, but this format requires additional storage space (roughly 60GB per hour of material). For small size video, you can select to output Prores 422(LT) or Prores 422(Proxy) format. This format requires less storage space than Prores 422(rougly 18GB per hour of material.)
