I have a Mavic Pro and need to know the following if any body has this info; Frame size; Frame rate; data rate; Bit rate; Type of video (windows, MS, quick time, movie maker)
Thanks to anyone that knows any of these, my friend is trying to edit and combine my drone footage of trains with his video from the ground

It is a camera. All of those things are determined and set in the control app. The files generated are standard MP4 containers with universal codecs. Any common editing program can use them.

You didn't say if this is for footage shot or if you are working on an upcoming project.

The ideal situatio n is if you have your friend's camera and your aerial camera set to match.

The settings are less important than matching them. If not matched, a good editing program will interpret the footage if not matched.

The typical, common video setting will be "HD" (1920x1080) at 30 FPS (frames per second). Ideal shutter speed would be 1/60th. If hard to do that on your drone, any shutter speed that gets the right exposure works.

A common variation is HD at 60 FPS because it allows creating some "slow motion" in editing. Another common variation is to use "4K" because you have 4 times as many pixels that can be used for editing adjustments and effects.

Are you getting your issue resolved?

Due to a couple granddaughters that wanted to learn to make videos 15 years ago, I've ended up deep enough in video systems that I even teach the occasional class to beginners in our retirement community.

Let me know if I can help!
