Trying to confirm if 2020 supports H.265 from iOS devices before I buy
Hi everyone. Looking at possibly upgrading my rarely used PE 13 to 2020 and trying to confirm if it supports the H.265 HEVC encoded videos from iOS devices? Looks like it might require a codec (which may or may not work?) from MS for 99 cents which is fine. Just don't want to drop the $79 upgrade money if it's going to fail. I kinda wanted to stick with PE since I sort of knew it........though I haven't really seriously used any video editing since the PE4 days but I do regularly use Lightroom CC so I'm at least familiar with Adobe vs other products.
I had checked out a free version of a big competitor to the full Premiere CC but quickly realized it didn't support H.265 at least unless you pay for the $300 full version and even then it's apparently not great performance due to H.265 being an export format vs. a commonly used source format apparently. Of course with iOS devices I don't have a choice there. I can choose H.264 but that limits the quality i.e. only 4K 30fps vs 60fps for instance.
Anyway, thanks for any input you guys might have.
