DaVinci Resolve + H.265/HEVC.

[arc@css]

Hi,

When importing some gameplay footage into the free version of DaVinci Resolve, I receive the media offline notification.
Does anyone know of a way to get the editor to play ball with HEVC/H.265 footage?

Thanks.

It should handle h265 fine, although without GPU acceleration in the free version, which is pretty slow.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, looking around on YT, it would seem that it's a wide-spread issue, particularly when trying to get 10-bit working, though in my case it's 8-bit.

Looks like I'll need to buy the HEVC codec from Microsoft (which is peanuts), but I was just curious why it wouldn't accept the video track from the footage.

Alternatively, I might try Shutter Encoder to transcode, then I can drop in the footage and apparently, that will work.

At first, I thought it might be something to do with the colour space/format, which I know almost nothing about.
In OBS, I'm using NV12 (4:2:0) and I did try a variety of other options, but to no avail.

I use 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC h265 all the time in DVR, not sure why you’re having problems.

I don’t honestly remember if I had to buy the HEVC extension….its 99p right? Just buy it and find out.
