Dji Action Videos are playing slow motion after mac os sonoma 14.6.1 update. MacBook pro M2 14.6.1 update problem

Until yesterday everything was normal, I was playing my videos shot on DJI Action in 4k on Quick time and editing them in Davinci resolve. Today I updated my macbook pro M2 to mac os sonoma 14.6.1 and my DJI Action videos are getting slow motion after like 10 seconds of playing. A second scroll bar is appearing on Quick time which is indicating some change in speed. I tried Elmedia video player and video are playing normal in it but when I'm importing it on Davinci resolve to edit, these videos are again going slow motion after 10 seconds of play. Added the screenshot below to explain. The problem is not there in the video shot on iphone? and there was no problem before the update. I videos I was working on last week are in slow motion now but before update it was normal

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.6

BlackMagicDesign does not recommend upgrading to Sonoma at this stage. Before I suggest rolling back to Ventura I would recommend watching at least a dozen YouTube Videos on DaVinci Resolve Preferences and Project Settings. Doing this helped me a lot (I'm still on Ventura 13.6.9). There's a whole world of information to absorb so just take one recommended change at a time. I have quite a powerful Mac Studio (M2 Max and 64Gb of RAM) and I too was experiencing some problems. Making some changes to both the DR Preferences and Project Settings made a huge difference to the hit the processor was taking. Things like Proxy resolution and GPU settings made a massive difference. It will take time for you to absorb all of this but over time it will all start to make sense. I recommend you stay away from Beta releases and Sonoma for the time being. You will benefit from the Studio version of DR because it will make much more efficient use of the GPU on a Mac. But before you commit to paying for the Studio version, buy the BlackMagic Speed Editor and you'll get the Studio licence included, this is a WIN-WIN
