P4P: Convert H.265 to Apple ProRes 422 - MAC

[Mindflights]

I found a nice way and the cheapest to convert the h.265 to ProRes Proxy, Light, 422, 422HQ, 4444 in order to have the best image quality from P4P.
Dowload the iFFmpeg utility from iFFmpeg
There is a free trial, you can buy it just for 18,5 euros!
Follow the installation instructions to install the FFmpeg libraries and presets,
open the utility, import the h.265 file, choose PRORES for output and you have your ProRes file, ready for FCPX. It is much faster than Brosoft or other utilities that are 3 times more expensive.
You can also dowload the free iMediaHUB media inspector to inspect all your media files
iFFmpeg

I include a screen shot from the inspection of a P4P h.265 video file.

If someone has a better and cheapest way to make the convertion for MAC with FCPX, drop it here!

Take a look at Handbrake, it's an open source app for converting video formats. Supports Windows/Mac/Linux

Does it support ProRes? I did not see that codec

Probably not, ProRes is an Apple codec. You would need to convert it to a more open format like h.264 and then import it into the video editor that you are using on the Mac.

I use this converter (H265 to ProRes) and works very well. I have Windows version, but they have a Mac version.

If I converted to H.264 which is inferior codec than H.265, I think I will loose the quality advantage of using h.265.

not a good idea translate an hard compressed format to another hard compressed format

H264 and H265 are formats for delivering - not for editing !!!

There are many online apps can do the video conversion for you, such as zamzar, Acethinker Video Converter, mediaconverter, etc. They are totally free, and you don't have to download or install anything.

You are correct, hopefully the installer releases soon. It's among the easiest-to-use converters for h.265>422 that I've used, and it does batches.

I use this program to convert H.265 files to ProRes which is much professional.

World class spam post right here...

zamzar only lets you convert 50mb for free!
Acethinker wants you to download some "launcher" first"!

So totally free and not having to download anything is just a lie...
