HEVC slow playback of the exported file

[Maximilian22547523e1aw]

Hi,

I used to stick to h.264 for realiability but have started testing HVEC/h.265 to conserve space on my drive. The issue I'm getting with it is that the viewing experience is not smooth.

When I open the exported video, it plays fine in Quicktime or VLC, but if I scrub forward to any point in the video, it takes 4-10 seconds for the video to start playing normally from there.

I assume its not the issue of my computer because I have the newest macbook pro, and probably not a video player issue because I tested two.

Is there a way I can view exported HVEC videos without any lag when scrubbing and just have a good viewing experience overall?

My computer:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Chip: Apple M1 Pro
Total Number of Cores: 10 (8 performance and 2 efficiency)
Memory: 16 GB
System Firmware Version: 7429.61.2
GPU Total Number of Cores: 16

Premiere 23.1.0

Quicktime 10.5

VLC 3.0.17.3

H.265 is highly compressed, which is problematic for Premiere .

Premiere is more comfortable with an edit friendly codec such as Prores but they take up a lot of drive space.

I suggest you get a bigger drive.
