Converting MP4, 4K files to JPEG

Questions & Answers
1

Hi everyone.
I’m new to the drone scene & enjoying my DJI Mini 2.
I have some fantastic Ariel shots of some locations in Kent but I am unable to upload them in the video section of Grey Arrows Drone Club.
When I transfer my files from the Micro SD card from my DJI Mini 2 they are in MP4 Format. I attempted to upload them but keep getting an error message MP4 not allowed. I am totally baffled on how to change these files. I downloaded a file convertor but it has converted the MP4 file to JPG Sequence files. Any help would me much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Mark and welcome to GADC :+1:t2: You cant upload video files directly (well actually its not because its a video file, its because there is a 50MB file limit). What we all do is upload our videos to Youtube or Vimeo and then post a link back here. If you put the link in a line of its own you get an embedded video too

Its because it’s a video file, we stopped due to the issues around codecs and devices and some playing and some not.

Even a 5mb .mov or .mp4 won’t upload

And just to forestall another potential problem:

Type whatever text you wish to make the body of the message and, when you are ready to insert the video copy and paste the link to the YouTube or Vimeo file on its own line like this

https://youtu.be/UDfAdHBtK_Q

and then, if you wish, continue typing your message. The url on its own line with space above and below gets you the video in its own box. The url above is for this:

Simple when you know how but not necessarily intuitive :slight_smile:
