maybe anybody can help me ?
if i export from the x5raw ssd which is connected to my macbbok (usb3.0 - macbook pro corie i7) via cinelight to an external ssd (connected by thunderbolt)
it takes around 3 hours for 200GB recordings........   (export format is adobe dng - for premiere tiff sequence)......
this should go faster ... but how ?

Hello.
In our judgement, the export speed was probably slowed down because of the incapability of your disk. So, could you please check your Mac's configuration?

Thanks.

sorry, i forgot to write that this is the time to export to the internal ssd of my macbook .
the external ssd , connected  over thunderbolt is a crucial 960  - but also needs 58min. for the export of 6:30 video on DJI-SSD

sorry, but it should be possible to copy the files on location - native and later export them - otherwise you can´t work with the raw x5 .....

Hi,

Because DJI will only let you use Cinelight to access the files you are limited by it's export speed.

So instead of just being able to copy files quickly in the field and get back to work you have to do what it essentially a render and convert the files to dng's or whatever you are using. The program doesn't take advantage of any additional hardware on your machine so you are single threading a very complex process.

Rant on: DJI - this can be so frustrating. I need to copy the files to another drive and get back to shooting - Rant off.

Exporting with USB 3 to an SSD I find I'm getting about a 1:4 ratio. 30 minutes of footage takes 120 min for Cinelight to export.
