Export - H265 codec not available in the export format search bar

[Jeremy6998]

Hi friends,

I'd like to ask you a question because I don't understand why I can't find the h265 codec in the format search bar when I want to export a video.

I'm attaching a photo to illustrate my problem.

Could you help me ? 🤔

Have you tried the three dots next to Preset?

[Jeremy6998]

Yes.

I've the preset "match source adaptive high bitrate" preset, which means that the HEVC 265 codec should appear in the list of formats (my video is taken in HVEC H265).

I don't understand why it's not in the list?

You are wrong about the codec match in "Match source". That preset only matches the resolution, pixel aspect ratio, frame rate and field order. It does not even try to match the video codec at all, but instead will use the program defaults.

And is your installation of Premiere Pro a trial install? If so, then you will have an extremely limited codec selection, which does not include HEVC (H265). In that case, you will need a full paid subscription and activation in order to even see the HEVC codec at all.

Ok thank's for the informations.

i have got this version of adobe premiere pro, this is the free version ?

[RjL190365]

That tells me nothing. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the program. And older versions of the Adobe programs are not guaranteed to work properly on newly updated operating systems.

So, if you have updated your version of macOS recently, then that may be the issue. You may need to update to a newer version of Premiere Pro just for it to work properly on a newer OS.

Are you paying for a subscription?

Ha! @Peru Bob , that does seem like the pertinent question/an easy way to figure that out!
