It's really frustrating to see all these professional promos of the I3 wondering, why doesn't my footage look anywhere near that?  With the I2, I can only think of two youtubers that made videos or courses on how to get the best image out of that drone.  Rewind one year after the release of the I3 and there's still no course available on how to get the most out of this drone.  There's no tutorials on how to grade I3 footage anywhere.  Come on DJI, it shouldn't be more complicated to grade pro res raw I3 footage than it is on a Red V-Raptor.  

Let's figure it out together. What questions do you have?

Most effective workflow for 8K Pro Res Raw on Final Cut Pro using any video sample

Do you mean the speed of working with the material?
I think CinemaDNG is much better in terms of post-processing.

cdng is the best option workflow wise.
But you can't shoot 8k cdng faster than 25fps.
Since the I3 has a lot of rolling shutter when shooting slower than 30fps this is not an option for many scenarios.
Only ProRes RAW allows for 8k up to 75fps.

If your shooting need is 4k then cdng is a great option if you can handle the files.

Thanks but I find that even 30 fps is not an option with the rolling shutter for shooting action related content.  Slower paced Landscape videos can work with 25 or 30 fps but anything else requires 50 or 60 fps in my experience.

I'm finding a lot of issues with the x9 when shooting in 8k pro res raw, even with a 16 ND filter the image blows out in bright mid day scenarios especially if you are flying over water.  The only fix for this is to white balance changing the color temperature which throws the natural color off

Getting back to the work flow, shooting in 8k pro res raw, Using the wide color gamut HDR enhances the image but I have a hard time balancing HDR so that it doesn't appear blown out on non HDR tv screens.  It seems that most of the professional Inspire 3 promos out there have edited their videos in SDR.  There are very few Inspire 3 videos in HDR that exist on the web.  I've found one video on the inspire 2 workflow to deal with HDR videos and the guy doesn't want to go above 400 nits on Final Cut Pro.  I normally push mine to 1000 nits to really make the colors pop but this might be too bright.

What is your experience editing HDR video with the Inspire 3 wide cinema gamut?
