How to get HEVC /H265 in after effects or in adobe media encoder ?

Hi

I would like to make a 4K video composition (4096x2304) at 60fps , h264 don't allow to do this. So I need h265.

Thanks

First, are you sure you want to do that. You'll need specialized hardware to playback 60 fps at that frame size. H.265 has not been integrated yet or fully developed and released. Rendering to not fully developed codecs has always required external rendering options. Look for Adobe and other major players to adopt the format in the future, but for now I would suggest you point yourself to developer websites and see what they have to offer that is compatible with your OS. x265 HEVC Encoder / H.265 Video Codec

So none of these answers help. Let's be straight here. The  H.265 codec only seems to be working in Premiere Pro. I doesn't show up AME by itself. And it does not show up a a rendering option in After Effects. You need to find a plugin for adobe that will install the H.265 Codec to be able o use it outside of Adobe Premiere.  By the way everything I mentioned is true for Adobe CC 2018.  I'm not sure how true it is for 2020 to 2023 suites as I no longer have a subscription and am using alternate software aside from adobe.  I would recommend Autokroma's plugins. Influx and AfterCodecs should just solve issues. You will be spending about $200 to $300. But it's a one time payment. The free trials are available too but they expire after a while.

    Just like H.264, you don't get H.265 in After Effects, you get it in Adobe Media Encoder.

      use adobe media encoder HEVC h.265 preset.

      but keep in mind, its practically beta. It may not work in other applications or devices.

      handbrake is a possibility as well.
