Working With DJI Mini Pro D-Cinelike 10 bit Video

Are you working with footage captured on the new DJI Mini Pro3? I brought in my D-Cinelike 10 bit Video files to Vegas Pro 17 and am only seeing monotone green in the project media properties.

No problem with me on VPro 17

Thanks for your reply.

What video properties settings are you using for your session?

Nothing special. I drag the file to timeline and you can see at the screenshot how Vegas sees that file. The used decoder in the preview settings is the mxhevcplug.dll. All settings are default

I can import normal mode video from the Mini 3 Pro. I can import stills too. But the D-Cinelike 60 has this green screen look to it. No video to be seen, yet it plays on the timeline.

It's literally my first day with it. My extra batteries are not here yet, which makes it take longer to try things out. I guess I have some investigating to do.

Thanks for taking time to reply.

Do you have so4compound disabled in internal preferences? That will block decoding of 10-bit files.

Feel free to upload a few second sample from the drone to a file sharing service (Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, etc.) if you'd like others to test (no need to actually fly the drone).

@RogerS Here's a test file https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/t2DjjGcgpU6k0A4EYSn4onJhc7SYfMqtyPlCW8WI232/GKHRQExaSMOBQtMhK5Wsyw

Interesting to compare the 10bit with 8bit of a DJI 2 model. Vegas again shows how weak it is with 10bit. The files are very similar, except for slightly higher bitrate for the 10bit. The poor performance seen with both legacy and GPU decoded playback

EDIT: Test slightly flawed, they were 59.94fps videos playing back on a 29.97fps timeline. But still a comparison in playback can still be made between the 2 camera files. Playback is much more usable with preview in quality PREVIEW/HALF. BEST and GOOD settings, not so much

Thanks, I'll test it once it downloads (might be a while).

@geoffedwards.media What is your CPU? J-V and I are on Intel systems. Todd has a Ryzen.

Because @Former user offered the same file I used and it looks not a  D-Cinelike 10 bit video file as you call it, I aske you also, like @RogerS did, to upload such a file so we can test it.

For the file Todd offered I was able to get about 40fps with legacy HEVC checked and preview/auto in 8-bit full mode.

With legacy unchecked performance is more like 5fps (Intel decoder is at 60%) which is quite terrible. That is in VP 19.

Vegas Pro 15 opened it without issue but playback has no decoder support and is at about 2fps @ 80% of my CPU.
