Question

HEVC video support for Windows? 14 months already on MacOS, WTH? (Feature Request)

Come on Adobe. Why do you continue to plague Windows and Android users?

 

We pay the same amount for your subscription, at least give us 80% of the features.

 

HEVC video is lacking on Windows for 14 months now after you added support under MacOS. It's beginning to be a joke at this point. Every new camera and phone can record to this format.

    Hi,

    presently HEVC video support on Widnows is just for Apple video.

    On Mac, can you see your HEVC video from GoPro or other camera?

    You've tagged on to an older topic that I was not involved in.  Nor do I know if Adobe has incorporated HEVC support directly into the Windows version of Classic since this topic was started.  

     

    I'm on a Windows PC.  To do some trouble shooting in the Premiere Elements forum, I installed the HEVC codec purchased from the Microsoft store for 99 cents.  I was given a 4K60 HEVC file from a GoPro 10 to test.  Lightrom Classic imports and previews the clip.  On my computer it stutters a little.  "Show in Explorer" and playing with VLC is smoother. 

    So, I think HEVC is supported in Windows if the codec is installed.

    Hi there,

    We're working on providing the support for HEVC videos on Windows operating system as well, however, you can have a look at this article to know about some workarounds you can use in the meantime:https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-cc/kb/heic-files-support.html
