How to Edit and Play Xiaomi YI 4K videos on Mac or PC?

The Yi is almost exactly a GoPro. It looks exactly like a GoPro. Everybody I showed it to thought it was a GoPro. Built with the new generation Ambarella A9SE75 chip, Sony IMX377 image sensor, and 7 layers of all glass lenses. Records 4K/30fps at 60mbps, 4x the quality of 1080p. After recording videos by Xiaomi YI , you can edit them and play them on computer with friends and families. In this article we share some tips and tricks about editing and playing Xiaomi YI 4K videos on Mac or PC.

Part 1. YI 4K Action Camera Specs

Video Resolution & Frame Rate 4K – (3840 x 2160) – 30 / 25 fps (60 mbps)
2.7K – (2704 x 1520) – 60 / 30 / 50 / 25 fps
1440p – (1920 x 1440) – 60 / 50 /  30 / 25 fps
1080p – (1920 x 1080) – 120 / 100 / 60 / 50 / 30 / 25 fps
960p – (1280 x 960) – 120 / 100 / 60 / 50 fps
720p – (1280 x 720) – 240 /200 fps
480p – (848 x 480) – 240 / 200 fps
Video Format .mp4 format, .h264 codec
Photo 12 MP resolution, so that’s a bit smaller compared to the 16MP photos of YI 1, due to the smaller sensor.
Lens 7 layer optical glass lens with f2.8 aperture; 155° FOV
Focal length: 2.68mm
Display YI 4K Action Camera also features a display: 2,19″ diameter, 640 x 360 pixel with 330PPI resolution. The display is a touch display similar to GoPro Hero 4 silver.
Storage microSD card support for cards up to 128GB; Class 10 recommended. (U3 recommended for 4K video!)

Part 2. A Program for Editing and Playing Xiaomi YI 4K videos

Xiaomi YI records 4K video in H.264 MP4 format. Since H.264 is a delivery codec rather than editing code, you need to transcode H.264 footage from Xiaomi YI to an editable format for importing to non-linear editors directly. And due to the codec incompatibility and other file size/resolution limitation, you need to downscale Xiaomi YI 4K to 1080P which would be the best settings. It will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing, playing or sharing.

To convert and edit Xiaomi YI 4K videos, you can free download a Xiaomi YI 4K video converter - Pavtube Video Converter for Mac. It can convert Xiaomi YI 4K video to NLEs supported video like ProRes for FCP X, Avid DNxHD for Avid Media Composer, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere etc. And you can also downscale your Xiaomi YI video to 1080p video for better playing on media players, devices and more. What’s more, it also provides you some popular video editing functions: split, merge, trim, crop, add watermark, adjust video effect, edit audio and insert subtitles. After that, you can smoothly upload your Xiaomi YI video to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo for sharing with the friends on the websites.

If you are a Windows user, please get the Windows version - Pavtube Video Converter. It is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP.
