HEVC codec is getting more popular in 2017 cause more 4K video recording devices are becoming affable to normal people such as the famous DJI Phantom 4K drone. HEVC codec can make you record 4K video saving in a smaller size than using H.264 codec. This is good but it also causes some troubles. For example, when you record a footage and want to import the HEVC footage to Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4 for editing, it won't be easy for you.

Step 2: Click “Profile” to select output format for Adobe Premiere If your Premiere is Mac based, simply choose “Final Cut Pro” “Apple ProRes 422 (.mov)” as output format. More than Adobe Premiere, the Apple ProRes codec is also well supported by other NLEs running on Mac OS X, such as Final Cut Pro X, iMovie and DaVinci Resolve. It is for these reasons that compression of 4K videos is preferably in the HEVC video codec. The importing process of premiere pro h265 is, however, not a walk in the park, even for the most professional editors working with Adobe. Codec incompatibility, lagging, or choppy problems are some issues you can expect when you import your videos. I have been looking for extra codecs for production suite. I looked at the x264 codec but it is definately over priced at 300. What i need is a pack of codecs but i can not seem to find one. I need the UT codec and x264 and someother codecs included even if i do not know when i will use them. Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC, and Adobe Media Encoder CC can natively decode and encode QuickTime files using the GoPro CineForm codec on both Mac OS X and Windows systems. Note: Mac OS X users need to install QuickTime 7 or later to play back CineForm files outside Adobe's digital video applications.

'I know that Premiere is h.265 compatible, but apparently not with DJIs version. It won't import. Any work arounds?'

Why can't we edit HEVC/H.265 videos in Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4? Don't Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4 support HEVC codec? To figure out the reasons that Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4 can't edit x265 video, the NO.1 reason that if Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4 supports HEVC will be the first thing we should get.

Adobe Premiere Pro Supported native video and audio formats for import

Adobe Premiere Pro supports several audio and video formats, making your post-production workflows compatible with the latest broadcast formats.

Note: Not all QuickTime codecs are supported by default. Some codecs may require third party components.

If you want to know the Supported native camera formats and the Supported still‑image and still-image sequence file formats, please read the page.

Fix 'Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4 Can't Edit HEVC/H.265' Issues

From the chart in helpx.adobe.com page, it seems that Adobe Premiere Pro supports HEVC codec. But why some people can't edit H.265 in Premiere Pro?

Reasons and Solutions

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 H.265 player - BUT, Encoding takes a longtime.

Scenario 2: Your Adobe Premiere version is out of date
“I have Adobe premiere pro CS6. Is there a way to download codecs to get HEVC H.265 support without subscribing to CC?”
CS6 is out of time for upgrades, and there is no HEVC download available for these old versions. If you insist on editing HEVC files within Adobe Premiere old version, transcoding to an intermediate codec would be a solution. You actually should do that anyway. You can use Video Converter and export the HEVC files as ProRes or DNxHD, to import them later into Adobe Premiere. Quite a workable workflow. We demonstrate how to process file conversion below:
