Hello, I am new to drone flying, caprturing photos and video.
So far it has been very fun and a lot to learn.

I would like to import my videos from the Mavic Air 2, but only some of the videos are unable to be imported into Adobe Premiere.

I have recorded the images on an SD Card and transfered them directly to my PC's hard drive to use.

Adobe Premiere Elements 2018 provides the error message "The importer reported a generic error."

I have a total of 21 clips that I attempted to import simultaneously and one-by-one, with no success.

The largest file is 2.93GB, while the smallest is 43mb.
Adobe Premiere successfully imported 6 files, with the largest being 106mb.

I have deleted the media cache files from Adobe, restarted the computer, but this did not resolve the issue.

I moved the files to a folder on my Desktop, to see if the location may have caused a challenge, but this did not resolve the issue either.

Being the error message is not defined, might anyone know what the issue may be?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure what the error means.  I have a MA2 and have been able to edit it in Davinci Resolve without any issues.  I'm new to the MA2, so I haven't tried all of the recording formats and codecs yet.

Hello @Ruzhye,
Are you using DaVinci Resolve 16 or DaVinci Resolve Studio 16?

Hello @Ruzhye,

I'm using Resolve 16.  It has a lot of features for a free editor.

Try running your videos through Handrake, a free tool. I have to do this with some of my P4PV2 footage as they are corrupted when written.

The main issue seems that Premier doesn't look to support the format:

Here is a post that gives further details. As others suggested using another editor should help. Handbrake is great and others recommended Resolve is amazing. We use the Studio version of it for around $300 for our commercial footage editing, which pays for itself on the first job.

I've been using Adobe Premier Rush to successfully import and process Mavic 3-generated files up to 10.5GB without issue. As StephanShere noted, it may be time to consider different software.
