h265

[malarqui]

Good afternoon.
I am preparing the mavic pro 2 for its first start tomorrow.
I have done a test at home with the codec H265 and my computer does not play it. None of the 2 pcs that I have.
I have a new one and I bought it before the summer to expressly edit. It is an intel 7 8700 at 3'70 GHz. So it should be a problem to install the codec on the PC, right?
Those who have already recorded with the mavic pro 2 and used the H265 have you reproduced or edited without problems?

Which editing program are you using? Both Premiere Pro and Power Director made me download an "update" before they would handle H265. Just so you know, depending on your graphics card, be prepared for your computer to work harder than you've ever seen it work before!

Speaking of graphics cards, I just noticed you didn't mention one. If you purchased a PC without a graphics card expecting the built in GPU to do the work.... Get your wallet back out and go buy a graphics card.

Windows built in player won't play it but tons of others do.

Does on my PC.

I believe that to play HEVC and h.265 in the Metro Windows Player, that you need an extension installed from the Windows Store, but shouldn't VLC be able to play it natively?

 

[Kilrah]

Yup VLC, MPC-HC etc do play it natively. On Win10 player you indeed can have it if you buy a paid extension but it doesn't work by default.

in vlc I can reproduce it without problem.
The problem comes in editing with premiere pro cc 2018, I do not have the adobe plugin

Current Premiere Pro CC 2018 works fine both with my M2Z H.265 8bit footage and M2P H.265 10bit footage samples, nothing special needed installing.

Yea sorry if I used the wrong phrasing, I had to update my program for Adobe and download an extension for Power Director.

I'm not an expert but I've done extensive research in this area myself lately. Playing H265 is not the problem, my TV will do that. The issue is editing! It's a beast. A have a two year old desk top that will do it but it sounds like it's about to fly around the room it's working so hard for so long. The GTX1050 should work but according to Invidia it's on the edge for 4k editing to begin with. I'm sure it'll work but it'll be slow as the 1050 is a 2GB card. Unless you have the ti version, which is 4GB. I'm in the same boat with the AMD RX460. I'm thinking about jumping up to the RX580 Black 8GB and a larger power supply.

The other thing I did that helped a lot was increase my ram to 16GB. So now, at least I'm not waiting as long between editing transitions and I can preview while color grading. Initially, I would pick a frame and grade it and just apply it to the whole project because preview was so choppy.

Hi guys, hope you solved the problem since last comment but if you didn't...
The whole problem about editing H265 is the gpu, H265 is a format supported by nvidia only I think and as a fact only pc's with an nvidia gpu can playback smoothly those files in timeline.
I work on a high end Apple trashcan and believe me it's far away from being able to work on that H265 footage (it comes with a amd firepro gpu). Tried that at home on my nvidia powered pc.. no problem. (this it's been cross checked with multiple mac and pc's, the only thing that made a big difference was the nvidia gpu).
Yes, having better and faster hardware will surely help but mostly when talking about H265 you have to check your gpu encoding decoding compatibility (Video Encode and Decode GPU Support Matrix). Check the link if you want to upgrade/buy a gpu that helps you edit H265.
