Transfer Dronelink video from DJI MINI 2 to my MacBook Pro

Stanton Fees

I wanted to know how to transfer my first Dronelink video from DJI MINI 2 to my MacBook Pro? My MacBook Pro only has usb-c port,  and I don't have a card reader on it.

I was successful loading the videos I shot onto my iMac desktop, because I have a slot for sd cards. 

While transferring THOSE videos, I inserted sd card, but I needed to choose IMPORT, and videos went to iMovie, but not to a folder I can select.

I searched YouTube for a tutorial on how to do this, but had no luck. I'm sure its an easy process, and I am just missing something.

Any help would be appreciated!

    And don't use import because it will move it into some software.

    Just use Finder to move the files where you need them.

    OK, that is what I thought. That is I normally do when I transfer my DJI videos. When I open Finder, though, my videos aren't there.

    Is this because the videos have already been imported to iMovie?

    It depends on the setting you have in the software - it can be set to import or move.  If it's move you are going to have to go into iMovie and export to get them out of there.
