I tried to convert my HEVC files to ProRes to get smoother editing. Any recommendations?
Searched onlline, I got some clules to transcoding H.265 to ProRes for easier editing in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro.
Case 1. I´m trying to transcode H.265 HEVC video clips to ProRes with Compressor on OSX.
Everything seems to go well but the end result is good audio with black video.
Case 2. I have converted all my H.265 videos to ProRes to get smoother editing. But somehow the files are laggy after converting (I use Adobe Media Encoder).
As you see, Compressor and Adobe Media Encoder are options to convert H.265/HEVC to ProRes for smoother editing, no matter in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere. But the resulted ProRes videos don’t seem to in a good audio or video playback.
Finally, I found a much more professional H.265 to ProRes encoder– DumboFab Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac).
