I got my original file from a DJI Phantom 4 Pro, the files will be used for general viewing of the video taken from 4K. The file is too big to play on most computers. To play and edit DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K o n PC, I need do some preparations.

1. Install 4K Video Player

The first workflow I set up is to find and install a 4K video player. From the list of top 5 4K video player, I tried VLC, but the result let me down. The DJI 4K don't play on VLC. I think I need a quick alternative solution.

2. Convert and dowmscale DJI 4K to 1080p

Since most computers, media players and video editing software like Avid Media Composer, Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro can't work the 4K MP4 or MOV files from Phantom 4 Pro, we could try a third-party software to downscale DJI Phantom 4 Pro 4K footage to 1080p. By some guys recommendation, I used Brorsoft Video Converter. It's a professional 4k video converter app.
