Powerful as it is, if you want to import videos from DJI Phantom 2/3/4 into Windows Movie Maker for further editing, chances are you encounter a series of tricky issues as below:

"I recorded a video using DJI Phantom 3 4K camera. BUT every time I try to open the 4k files with Window Movie Maker (ie to edit etc) it crashes - any solution for me?"

"Can you help me to edit Phantom 4 4k files with Windows Movie Maker natively? I borrowed the newly released DJI Phantom 4 camera from my friend and recorded a lot of videos recently, now I need to edit the footages in Windows Movie Maker, I tried to load and edit them, but I found the files can't be handled smoothly, it is hard to edit the original 4K footages with Windows Movie Maker. Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks!"

"I got some H.264 MP4 videos recorded from DJI Phantom 2, it's amazing and desirable, but when importing them into Windows Movie Maker for further editing, some annoying things happened: they are very choopy and even don't recognized by Windows Movie Maker, what's wrong with that?"
