H.265 (HEVC) codec missing on Premiere Pro CC

[ActionDrone]

Hi,

I shot some video tests in H.265 format, but I cannot use them neither in Premiere Pro CC nor in Media Encoder.

Do you have any positive experience using the new file format on Premiere?

Thanks.

They must have .mp4 container. .mov does not work. You may rename them.

Yep just change name to .mp4 and you're golden

Ok it works now. Thanks

I found a tutorial on Google which may give you some clues. Good luck!

Well, if you just want play Phantom 4 Pro H.265 videos, you can try VLC. If you stick to work Phantom 4 Pro H.265 footage in Premiere, you need to take a little up front time and set up a workflow that will convert your 4K H.265 video into a format that Premiere Pro likes.

If you’re using Premiere Pro CC, the best way to work with H265 is to setup your project using the proxy function in PP CC, it’ll automatically create proxies to easily cut with because you’ll find h265 typically performs poorly on most computers.

This thread was like 8 months old.

Also you didn't answer the issue, which is that PP won't recognize .MOV files in H265, and thus it also can't convert them into differently formed proxy files. But, the original question was already answered back in May anyways.

Change form MOV to MP4. All will be good on a PC.

I use iDealshare VideoGo convert H.265 HEVC to Premiere Pro more supported video format.
Here is the step by step guide: How to Import HEVC to Premiere Pro?

Another method is to use iDealshare VideoGo to convert HEVC to Adobe Premiere more supported format like MPG, AVI, WMV, etc

Sometimes, the import error may still persist even if you have managed to install HEVC code. Here is a tutorial shows you how to import and edit H.265/HEVC in Premiere Pro without issues.
