Hello everyone,

I am currently having some problems with the DNG files taken with my Mavic Air: every file I try to import in Premiere/lightroom (Still photos, not videos - those work fine) gets marked as damaged/corrupted and doesn't let me import it. Photoshop and Preview (MacOS) seems to open the file without any problem.

I have all my software up to date but I still can't use my DNGs (wanted to make a dronelapse with premiere). The problem is both on Windows and MacOS.

Any suggestion to fix the problem?

Some issue. No solution. The DNG Files are fine, it is a problem on the Adobe side I would assume.

And try another micro SD card

Wouldn't explain why videos work fine but not the DNG files

Also, I'm using the sandisk extreme pro SD recommended by DJI itself which used to work few firmware updates ago..

I'll try with a converter

I see - that's what I use too and they are the best SD's. Try the converter and see if that fixes it.

The converter I mentioned will not fix the card issue, but may enable you to do something with the images.   https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adobe-dng-converter.html

Did you know that SD cards have hidden memory that is activated when a formatting detects faulty sectors?
I always format my cards after use so I know I will start off with full capacity. It is just a habit. Although after years of doing that, I have never had a card fail, even though excessive formatting can cause memory issues (a form of wearing out.)
On one hand, it keeps the memory good, on the other it wears it out.
Not a lot of people know that!
