HEVC/H265 Import and Playback problem on CC2020
Hi,
I have been having a strange problem for the last 3 month on my Mac.
I can not import or playback h265 files properly on both Premiere and Media Encoder.
This problem started around mid July when Premiere crashed for the very first time while importing a 8K H265 file that came out of a Canon R5 and since then I can not work with h265 files no matter what camera (even iphone 11) h265 was produced by. I do not know if this is just a coincidence.
I can not import or I can not open up a project that was created by a 15 inch 2018 Macbook Pro.
Once I import the cpus goes crazy an my computer at some point does a hard boot.
I prepared a simple video to show the begining of my problem. I think I have read every single thread releated/unrelatrd out in the jungle. I have repaired permissions, did a reset NV and PV Ram.. did a diagnostic check, stress test, reset adobe preferences.. trash every single item do a fresh install and in the end did a fresh install (by formatting the main drive) of the os and premiere.
I know many of you are going to relate this problem to a hardware issue but the dillema is that both finalcut and davinci resolve have not one single glitch with the same files.
I suspect that around July either Mac Os update or Premiere update has broken a chain. May be the way that Premiere utilizes my hardware. I have no idea.
Please check the link below. It is just the begining of my problems. The iPhone videos are HEVC not H264, I made a wrong mention in the video.
