10-bit video chops

Why chops the 4K video I recorded on DJI Mini 3 Pro in the D-Cinelike 10-bit color profile format?

Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

My Mac is a 2016 MacBook Pro 13 ".

Try converting this to a less processor intensive format. Your mac is apparently struggling with this 10-bit content.

Control-click on one of the problematic files in the Finder, choose Services->Encode Selected Video Files, and choose one of the H264 or HEVC options.

Does that play ok?

Hi and thanks for the tip!

Converted to H.264 and it played fine. The conversion took 5-10 minutes on a video clip of 1:24 minutes (!!!)

This test is perhaps a clear indication that 10-bit is not good for this Mac, and that there is nothing wrong with the computer - it is simply not powerful enough?

Thanks for the tip! I have thought the same thing, and thought that now the "pointing game" starts ... 👍😊

Whatever I try.

Thanks again...
