Do you have a reason to want the low-res cached video?
The real recorded video is on the SD card and is of much higher quality.

Thank you. Is true but the SD card version is gone. And the cached version would be ok for personal use.

I can see the various share buttons but would like to download or perhaps email to myself.

Can’t you save the video to your device? If so then save it to your phone/tablet then email it to yourself.

You can then open your email on your Mac and download it

Hi. Thanks. This is a P4P+, i.e. built in monitor. So no phone tablet involved. And I see lotsa share buttons but no download button.

Gave up. dji tech support did not know how to get cached video off controller onto MacBook Pro. So...
Played the video on the controller
Used iPhone to take video of the controller playing the video
Resultant iPhone video is good enough for the purpose at hand

Hmm, seems like another limitation of the P4P+, but usually most people prefer the higher res video from the SD, so this is a non issue. If you save your SD video to you computer, and back it up (carbonite), you'll be ok 99% of the time.

True. This was a quirky thing. Had the cached version and not the SD version cuz the video was recorded at the dji repair shop.

Oh, that should be entertaining. We're they speaking English or Mandarin?

Doesnt the DJI go app have a video/photo editor? If it lets you edit then it should give you option to save or am I wrong?

I see no way to get them off the controller save by "sharing"
