I'm LAZY!!!  

I used the apps edit feature for the first time this weekend.   I had been loath to do some on my phone (health issues) but the results showed potential.

So, then the app works on Lo Res cached files and saved on device (Android).  Does it alter the original cache file or make a new file?  And can the app be used to edit the Hi Res SD card file?  If so, how?

I'm LAZY!!!

i tried with original video files just copy them to your phone, the result was totally ugly, so unfortunately it is quite useless to me. App has potential if only the rendered video file is of some quality which is not the case for the moment.

You need to first download the full version of the videos before editing. Either using the app itself and download directly from the drone (but it's very slow) or by separately downloading the files from the SD card and then importing them on your phone. If you want to work with photos or quickshots, the 2nd option is the only one as, for some really strange unknown reason, quickshot videos and photos are not automatically cached by the app, like the normal videos, so there's no way to trigger the download of the full version.
One downside of editing in the app is that you can only export in 1080p for some reason, no 2.7k is available.

Hi, thank you for bringing this query to us. The Editor function in DJI Fly is newly designed. "Templates" allows users to import files and use the templates to generate videos easily. "Pro" offers advanced editing functions so that users are free to create what they want. And "Rhythm" allows users to easily cut videos alongside the beats of background music, add video transitions, and align these transitions with the rhythm of the music so that users can create popular videos. However, this will only perfectly work for the cache file and it will generate a new file that was already edited and will still save the original file. Should you have other inquiries or concerns please don't hesitate to reach us. Thank you for your support!

this is a shame...  The app should take advantage of the  user selected (higher) resolution in order to be taken seriously.

Also, folks with health issues may find working on a phone or tablet physically harder.

Hi,

I can't see the rhythm function?
I'm using DJI Fly on a Android 10 device

Seen screen shot from iPhone, but the left hand menu bar with trim, volume and rhytm do not appear on my app.

Hi,

I can't see the rhythm function?

Yeah, this seems to be an iOS only feature..

I use a OnePlus 7T Pro, so android, which does not have access to this feature, and I just got my Mini a few days ago.. Sad to learn that the apps can't even do the same things.

I watched a video with a guy who used the Rhythm feature and I thought "cool, I'll have to try that", but noooo..

Let's hope an update will come.

Maybe they'll correct it with a software update.
I started a thread in apps asking why or could they make rhythm function available for Androids also .

Can someone help me here.. I am new to DJI.... I shot few videos and created a movie on the DJI Fly app on my phone.. However, the quality of the downloaded movie is very bad when I put it on YouTube.
Also, the movie is not saved in the SD card… where else will it be saved before I download it on to my phone. ?

Conversely, this was a test to gain speed in Premiere. I tried to use cached files to edit in ADOBE Premiere. Same name for them and shut down Premiere and physically replaced the 2.7K files. And unfortunately!

They aren't lo-res. They are 1080p. They are fine for social media etc. Facebook caps uploads to 720p for example so even if you have higher quality they will compress it anyway. You can't edit and output 2.7k videos with the fly app though. For social media I use the fly app and it's very easy and fun to use. On Youtube videos I upload I use iMovie on my iMac which is very similar to be honest but can obviously handle upload the full 2.7k media.

Can anybody in the whole world answer this question? I’ve asked about 20 different drone “experts” on YouTube, I’ve googled it for days, and still nothing. How do I add my own music to my mavic mini clips in the dji fly app? Is it possible to do that on my phone? Like I want different background music for my videos then what is supplied. And if I can how do I do it? Exactly how? The dji tutorial shows a way but it’s nothing short of useless. Doesn’t wo rk. Also, it doesn’t let me post videos to Instagram. Is that because they’re too long, or no? If anybody can

If anybody could answer that would b great and awesome. The mavic mini has potential to b a great drone, but until that^ question gets answered it’s basically useless cause who wants a video without sound?? It’s boring!

I agree. I tried to get some advice about editing video last week here and got ignored. I am beginning to think the think tank here is running on empty and we will have to figure it out ourselves.

I was using the free PC program HitFilm Express. It does a decent job of editing and adding any audio file. But YouTube mistook it for a file with a 4k resolution, which was not the case. So I have to tell viewers to switch down to 1440 res. Bad workaround. The original 2.7k video plays fine on Youtube but just not the edited version.

Once you have chosen your video just click the scissors in but time right corner to edit. Then click on the little music icon on the right side. Where there is all those sound files look to the far left.  Select the “Local”  tab and Add your own music that’s on your iPhone. Or Android I would assume. Hope this helps.

Except, for Android users, no matter which file you select you get an error message saying "Incorrect audio format" or "audio format not recognized" or something similar.

DJI Android:

1. FIX the audio import issue
2. Bug in "pro" mode title input (on my Galaxy Note 10+) you cannot click the "check mark" to apply any title, it is covered by the system menu popup, which does not appear anywhere else in the app. Maybe because a Samsung Keyboard is invoked?
3. Add the ability to change a clip's start/stop locations AFTER you cut it on the timeline (non-destructive edit)
4. Full resolution export would be awesome, but I see the limits placed on space available on your phone. not much a problem for the Mini (2.7k) crowd with a gigabyte of space, however.

Pretty nice little app.

Thanks!

It works for me. I use Huawei P30 lite and You have to import as written above, but from "local music" not from "file browser".
That's it.

Yes it is very much possible. You have to import audio file in the dji fly app.
