Fuji X-T4 h.265/HEVC files very laggy in in Premiere 22.0.0 (Build 169) for Apple Silicon

First time editing video on my new Macbook Pro M1 Max. 

Any of the h.265 video's I import into my project then drag into the source monitor play in a very very laggy fashion. The video just freezes, but the audio can continue. 

No issues with h.264 videos, and it obviously works if I convert the h.265 into apple prores - but i really don't want to have to do that for all my clips. 

 

Any idea's if this is a priority fix?

 

System info:
Apple Macbook Pro 14 inch

M1 Max 10 core

32 core GPU

64 GB ram

MacOS Monterey 12.0.1

 

Will try on my windows PC also - but apparently a common problem across the board since early Nov and the Beta testing. A lot of X-T4 users out there.

Hi everyone,

 

We've been working on optimizing the playback of XT4 HEVC 10 bit 4:2:0 files. Would you mind trying our latest Beta release of Premiere Pro & checking if it's working properly? You may refer to this link to know more about the Creative Cloud beta program.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Any updates on this? It's 3 months later now but I'm having the exact same problem with my Fuji h.265 files. Only difference for me is that I'm using a Lenovo x1 pc. If I render a clip it plays fine but any slight change makes it go back to being super chopping and mostly just audio.

Hi @jb87544630 , @trashcaneron , @Serghios @dcman25 , designmhdmgrenadierLukas22835814o57wRachel5EAFBaffy19 , Blessing5EB5defaultqlpk3xrwwcgv ,

 

Sorry for this problem. We have fixed this in the latest beta builds and this is also on track to be available in normal builds. We will update you soon.

Meanwhile, you can download the latest Premiere Pro Beta build from Creative Cloud --> Beta apps --> Premiere Pro (Beta).

Please let us know how it goes in the beta build.

 

Thanks,

Was having the same issue. Footage was essentially unworkable unless I rendered in the timeline. But it's buttery smooth within the Beta. Working on the M1 Max. If you're struggling and need a workaround until the next update just download the beta. Will save you a ton of headache.

Premiere 2021 works well with h265 10bit Fujifilm x-t4 videos but Pr2022 sucks. Waiting for an update but there is nothing.

Hi everyone,

 

We have reported this issue to our product team & we will try our best to get it addressed as soon as possible. For the time being, you may either transcode the files to an edit-friendly codec like ProRes 422 or use the previous version of Premiere Pro (v15.4.1).

 

Thanks for your patience.
Sumeet

After weeks of trying, still unable to edit h.265 footage in Premiere (22.1.2).  Your suggestion to use previous version 15.4.1 doesnt work - it says I'm unable to open projects in a previous version.  And transcoding using media encoder fails.  Very frustrating.

Hi! Same issue here with macbook pro m1 pro. Any update? I've decided to get back to premiere 15 because everything was fine in 15.

Here's the news. With each new update there are misunderstandings and new upsets. There are no words

h265 if a bear of a format, heavily compressed to get high quality with small file sizes.  I'd try transoding to prores 422 or prores 422hq.    Rachel, what format are your proxies?  Any all iframe format like any of the prores formats will probably play much better..  You can also downrez your proxy files to 1080 which will also probably help.

Transcoding the footage to ProRes makes it very smooth. But the whole problem is trying to avoid doing that since the M1 Pro/Max has an engine dedicated to decoding these HEVC/H.265 files. The fact that I can edit perfectly smooth with no transcoding in FCP proves this.

am I surprised that apple's app does a better job handling the video format of the iphone...  no.  FCPX is a very different beast than premiere and we're in very early days with the M1 Pro/Max chip...   and I'm guessing Apple had access to how the chips perform etc way before Adobe did...  I'm sure Adobe's working on this, but probably a good idea to either transcode to an easier to digest format or work in FCPX.   BWDIK...

Hi dcman25,

 

We're sorry about the poor experience. Are you working with 4:2:2 10-bit files? We're here to help just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thanks for the prompt reply. 

No they are 4:2:0 straight from camera, not 4:2:2, but I do beleive it's 10bit.

This is from the properties panel in Premiere Pro:

 

Type: MPEG Movie File Size: 2.11 GB Image Size: 3840 x 2160 Frame Rate: 59.94 Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 24-bit - Stereo Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo Total Duration: 00;01;28;04 Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0 Alpha: None Color Space: Rec. 601 Color Space Override: Off Input LUT: None Video Codec Type: HEVC 4:2:0 (Full Range)
