Answer 1: One possibility is the DJI Phantom Drone 4K video bit rate is too high, Premiere Elements supported QuickTime 4K MOV overall bit rate is 40 Mbps, DJI 4K normal bit rate is 60 Mbps, it is higher than Premiere Elements supported bit rate. The Premiere Elements can't import it.

Answer 2: Another possibility is the encode problem, I check all the format that Premiere Elements supports and found DJI 4K video is H.264 MOV/H.264 MP4 format. For example it is H.264 MOV, we know the .MOV is just a container, if the 4K MOV files are not accepted by Adobe Premiere Elements, it's probably because of the video or audio codec incompatibility. If you insist editing DJI 4K MOV video in Premiere Elements, you'd better convert them to a editing-friendly format for Premiere Elements, MPEG-2 is a safe and popular format you can choose it.

Actually, it's not a big problem problem, I have found the solution, you just need a common video converter like Pavtube Video Converter. With it you can easily transcode MOV as well as MP4, MKV, AVI, etc to Premiere Elements supported format with high output video quality and fast speed. You can load the DJI 4K video to the program and convert it to the MPEG-2 format or other Premiere Elements supported file format, If you want to convert the DJI 4K to the QuickTime 4K MOV which is supported by Premiere Elements, you need to download the Pavtube Video Converter for Mac on your computer.

You also can edit the video relevant parameters in the video editing menu. Pavtube Video Converter provides a lot of choices for customers: video codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate and audio codec, etc. If your your DJI 4K can't be imported to Premiere Elements because of the high bit rate, you can reduce the video bit rate by this software.
