1. Premier supports h.265 files but the P4P h.265 files are not recognized by any of the Adobe apps such as Premiere Pro CS5/CS4. Get the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC. |
2. Adobe is ALWAYS slow on this stuff. Lightroom won’t have the lens corrections in there for 2-3 months, also. You can try DaVinci Resolve. |
3. What’s the format of your HEVC video, MOV format or MP4? The reports are only accepting MP4 not MOV formats. If you shot h.265 in MOV, you can go into the folder where your files are from and edit the name of the file by changing the extension from a .MOV file to a .MP4 extension and accept the change of extension and then drag and drop into Premiere. |
4. When you first try to import HEVC video to Premiere Pro, you need to install the HEVC codec, and by clicking “Ok”, it will do it automatically and then import the video just fine. |
5. You can solve the issue by converting h265 from P4P to Prorres HQ with DJI TRANSCODING TOOLS.https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/inspire_1/DJI_Transcoding_Tool_v0.9.2.dmg |
6. As stated above, use .mp4 and have an updated version of Premiere. If you have the CC license, it should be up to date already. Older CS versions don’t support H.265. Keep in mind that 4K H.265 footage requires a ridiculous amount of processing power if you want to edit it in its original format, so you might want to create proxies of the clips before you start editing. Unless you have a very high-end PC. |
7. Adobe first started support HEVC in CC2015 so any earlier versions don’t have the codec. When you first try and import a H265 file a message should appear telling you that you need to license the codec . The license is part of Premiere Pro CC but not automatically turned on for every user unless they use it. WHY? there is actually a license fee that Adobe manage for you and it gets activated with your first Import or Export. You need to be connected to the internet for the first time you use it and once you do that you don’t need to be connected to license again unless you re-install or there is a major update. Adobe is always “tweaking” playback with CPU/GPU support. H265 playback is decent in Premiere Pro CC 2017. Lots of people use it as a .265 player – BUT, Encoding takes a longtime. |
