Autel Robotics X-Star Premium 4K to Premiere Pro Workflow

This article offers you the best way to import Autel Robotics X-Star Premium 4K footage to Premiere Pro for smooth editing. 

If video and picture quality is your most important quality in a drone, the Autel Robotic's X-Star Premium is the drone for you. We have been flying Phantoms for almost 2 years, but recently purchased a X-Star because we were not totally satisfied with picture quality. With the X-Star camera, with its Sony Exmor R sensor, captures 4K video at 30 fps, 2.7K at 60 fps, 1080p at 120 fps, and – for super slow motion – 720p at 240 fps. Now we're just curious if people have been able to work with the Autel Robotics X-Star Premium 4K in Premiere Pro natively yet.

As we know, the X-Star Premium camera can be recorded in 4K MOV or MP4 format. We have scoured the internet, tried everything we could find about the X-Star Premium 4K video to Adobe Premiere Pro workflow. The final result we found from all relevant forums is that Premiere Pro can't deal with Autel Robotics X-Star Premium 4K mp4 or mov footage perfectly.
