You’ve graduated from your cheap beginner drone, and you want to try something new. Something that can shoot beautiful video from the sky—but doesn’t cost $1,000+ like a camera-equipped DJI Phantom. You spot the $500 Parrot Bebop Drone, and pull the trigger. It’s kind of fun, you think, between strings of obscenities.
Perhaps you have know some detail of the Parrot Bebop Drone. It can capture video at 1080p full-HD resolution; the AR.Drone 2.0 is limited to 720p. Video is recorded to the Bebop's 8GB of internal storage (there's no microSD or SD card slot) in MP4 format. The reason why you are failed to import or cannot edit parrot bebop drone video in Avid smoothly is that the mp4 format is not a friendly editing format but a container format. For Avid, the best compatible format is DNxHD, if you want to edit the Parrot Bebop Drone video in Avid smoothly, you just need to change the original video format into DNxHD.
