Hi VidProMom, I loved your video and it was very informational, it was a video I have definitely been looking for. I do have a Hero6 that I record my kid's sports with but I don't have compatibility with my computer for H.265, and this is where my question comes in. I understand using the Handbrake conversion dropping from H.265 to H.264. Are you able to use that same video you recorded in H.265 down to H.264 with Handbrake, then say years down the road when you have the compatibility, to change it back to H.265 again? I hope this makes sense, thanks
Bummer she didn't get back to you on this. I'm just going to store two versions for that very reason. Also, can you convert multiple files with Handbrake?
Thank you so much for this! I have just spent a few hours in hot rage over this... I cannot believe how many people recommend the Hero6 for shooting in 4K/60 but not one frickin' peep about the fact that in all likelihood none of your devices and operating systems and software will allow you to view or edit it!? Guess I'm still hot. My point is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this.
This. I think most of us don’t find out til we shoot that first video in 4K 60fps and then try to edit or play it. Then ya start the frantic search as to WTF?!?
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to EDIT 4k60 footage, you'd better have a pretty powerful PC if you want to keep from pulling all of the your hair out... (If not, let your editing program make "proxy" or "shadow" files of your footage so that at least you can do the editing itself at a reasonable pace, then let the machine run over night when you do the final output.)
I tried to avoid buying a GoPro because of their outrageous prices for the camera and accessories. But it was the only action camera I could find that allowed for an external mic. Changing to H265 for no apparent reason really pissed me off.
I got my Hero 6 because I wanted to (among other things) be able to shoot things for slow motion effects, by importing the 240 fps 1080p file as a 30 fps file (making it play 8 times slower). It works quite good!
I'm trying to do the same 8x slow motion effect. So did you have to convert yours? Or are you saying just change the frame rate when importing? Thanks for any advice on that.
I am using a Mac and I believe there was an update to HandBrake and the default menu has a "Preset" scroll down tab, and the default is set 1080p60. If you're recording in 4k and want to view your videos in the highest definition possible, I recommend selecting the "Preset" scroll down tab, clicking on "Web", and choosing the "Vimeo UA-cam HQ 2160p 4K" option. Let me know if there's a better alternative. Thanks for your video!
I saw a setting on the hero 7 that says h264. Won't this setting allow any computer to view Hero 7 footage? That'd be a lot easier than going with that handbrake nightmare.
Are you sure that setting doesn't say H.264 + HEVC? That's what mine has, and it doesn't allow normal playback on my machine. Though iMovie converts the files, I'm just not sure if Handbrake does a better job of converting because I haven't tried it.
@@imagesinla8575 You are right. It says H264 HEVC. I've found that if I save the footage from the Hero 7 to a folder, THEN, load it to Movavi, it will work. Why I can't download directly from the Hero 7 to Movavi, I still can't figure out. I have 2 SJCam's that lets me download to the computer then to Movavi, without first saving to a folder.
Same here. I have to download to a folder first, then load it to iMovie, and that works. In my case I can't download directly from the Hero 7 because my computer's operating system is too old to download the GoPro app, which allows for direct downloading from the Hero 7. Did you download the GoPro App? Or maybe your computer is too old as well.
Thanks for the info, but out of 6:47 there was only about 1:00 of useful information, the rest was noise - sorry but I really prefer the non-fluff videos.
Hi Meredith, I'm using a Sandisk Extreme Plus but it seems like anything being filmed in HEVC won't do continuous capture beyond like 10-11 minutes, but 1080p can still go for hours. Granted the SD card is a little bit old, but is there something I need to do to make sure I get an SD card that's for sure going to continuously record 4k/60? I'm using a hero 8.
So on my GoPro 8 I have 2 options: HEVC OR HEVC + H.264. Should I just stick to HEVC +H.264 to be safe or just have HEVC enabled? I have latest Windows 10, latest Android version on my smartphone. Which would be the best option?
Actually worked great for me thanks, another issue I am now having is rendering 4k video down to 1080 to 'zoom' in on places, while retaining the best quality.
Your funny. I just got a gopro 9.. That little notification pops up when you select 4K. Wanted to convert some how. You answered my question. Thanks for doing the video..
1440p 60fps HEVC plays fine on my 2011 PC (70% CPU usage on a quad core). I just have to wait for editors like Sony Vegas and Resolve to support it because I'm not spending hours destroying my video quality with Handbrake.
I bought a Gopro hero 6 recently and i shot a lot clips for my first travel vlog video. I had this issue and i've been trying to figure it out since a week. Your video helped me a lot.I finally got all the clips to work on premier pro. Thank you so so much!!
Can I just ask what in the world is your camera setup? Such great lighting! Also, my GoPro just doesn't upload any footage whatsoever. It says "No clips."
Thanks for the video and especially the bloopers at the end. You have helped me a lot and my subscribers / views are taking off. 200,000 views and 1600 subscribers now. I can say you have helped me. Thanks again :-)
I put a comment on another of our videos asking for help I just tried what you suggest here using Handbrake to convert a GoPro Hero 7 Black video I shot at 1080p@240 fps and it didn't work. It still plays back at 240 fps or normal speed, not slow Motion.
My computer, windows 10 won’t play the video but will play sound from the video. So. What I personally do is, keep it clean. Transfer each video from the GoPro to the computer in a separate folder. Then I edit on shotcut, shotcut will play and allow me to edit the video. Then when I’m ready to export it from shotcut, i make it 1080p 60fps. I can’t believe they did this. Though. Making it so hard haha.
Thanks for the explanation, I have an iPhone 10 and I do most of my editing from that if not using the computer , so does this 265 format work on the iPhone with iMovie as well as the GoPro apps, have you tested all of these apps with that format ?
Thanks for the explanation. I have a GoPro Hero7 that uses HEVC. My laptop has no problem with the playback but the GoPro Quik app for editing does have a problem with it and I find that very weird. I also uploaded the video to FB and there is no problem there either except for the long upload time.
Damn after 1 year I found how to fix in my 2016 laptop . Just install the small HEVC Video Extension in your windows computer in windows app. Boom! finally working
This video has been extremely helpful. i was very disappointed when I recorded 4k 60fps that my files did not display on PC or iphone 5s. Now I know why! keep those videos coming!!!!
Handbrake loses quality I've played with the settings to get something close to original but not the same. Kinda annoying when you drop 700$ for something that should work.
Hi... Thanks for your time explaining this to us... I needed to get updated for sure... Back-burnered my digital arts interests for a bit nad getting back into it... thanks again...
H.265/x265 is better known as Russian codec Matroshka, that codec is 10 time better quality then x264, and have smaller size, have better colors reproduction, less noise and grain. Movies in h.265 is sooo good! For playing movies in this codec u have to use VLC player.
My dashcam records 1920x1080 at 60 fps and plays on the device itself with no problems. But if I attach my OLD phone to it via cable and try to play the files it plays at about 1 frame every 2 seconds.... Whereas, if I attach my newer phone (a medium range Android), it plays it with no issues whatsoever.
Thanks so much for this video! Handbrake did the trick! I'm using GoPro Hero 7 and have Adobe Premiere Elements as my video editing software, and couldn't figure out why the program kept crashing and giving me errors. Now, I can edit like before, but like you said, converting clips takes forever. There has to be a more expedient way.
So I have a Macbook pro 2019 13 inches no problem at all when editing and and a MSI GE 75 with a very good hardware rtx 2080 graphic card, i7 9750h processor and 32 gigs of ram and the videos of the hero 8 are laggy do you know why It's driving me nuts
This is pointing me in the right direction but I have a question! I've shot 4K@50 (English PAL) on Hero7, edited it with no problems in FCPX on my new iMac & exported it at H264. It play & looks excellent. Then I've compressed it with Handbrake as H264 which reduces file size by approx 50%. Still looks excellent on iMac. Upload to UA-cam & it's unwatchable? Any help would be really appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out!
Great video thanks... I bought a hero6 ages ago, decided to use it down the beach at 4K 25fps, transferred it wirelessly to my iPad using the GoPro app, there is a slight stutter randomly to the videos, especially when I pan the camera, is that the formatting issue you are talking about here? Or have I set something wrong? I was thinking the image stabilisation was causing it?
For what other reason would you shoot your content in 240fps then slowmo? And wat has Handbrake to do with this,because it reduce the footage to realtime!!!
Very helpful video thank you 🙏🏼 lots of GoPro footage that needs to be edited. As a new GoPro user I recorded in this high def high fP now I’m lost lol thank you again 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm not able to upload my hero 7 black videos into iMovie or GoPro Quik. All I'm able to see are the pictures I've taken. The videos are black when I upload them, and can only hear the audio. I did download the right "Handbrake software" and did as you said but I'm stilling having a problem opening it in iMovie. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) it has the latest update (MacOS High Sierra). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
hi there could you help I have got a gopro 7 and my computer is to slow could you advise on a editing computer for a round 1500 pounds is the hp omen 17 an101na core i7 GeForce gtx 1060 8gb or can I go cheeper
Girl, you just partially, save my workflow! Thanks! Will Try that, but my last try delivered a interlaced converted video. Will try handbrake as last resorce...
Hi Meredith...i have recorded video & pic on my go pro standard 2018 but i cant view it. i just changed with a new sd card.i checked the sd card with my laptop, i can view the folder and the space of recorded but unable to view it. thanks in advance. From Malaysia.
Hi! Thank you for these tutorials! They have helped me tremendously ever since we purchased our Go pro. We have a Sessions. We'll be going on vacation in a few months and will be taking our Go pro and our Handycam. What program should I use to combine the footage from the Go pro and Handycam to make one good home video. Thanks!
Wait what? So many video editing softwares support h265 codec. Why is this a problem? I record and edit in h256 all the time. Even free video editing softwares support h265 :)
I have a GoPro 7 and have been taking videos all season in 1080 and 4K. I have never had an issue until this weekends videos I drag and drop like I always do and it only shows the video and NO audio in premiere pro. Why is it only sometimes and issue?
Do you know how I can batch the files? For example... this is taking me hours b/c I am using HandBrake to convert one file at a time. I have over 100 files :) Thank you! Great video by the way! Kevin.
HELP! I have a hero 5black and I can not plug the gopro into the laptop and watch them, they won’t load. I have to download the videos onto my computer just to be able to view them. HELP PLEASE!
I managed to convert the video just fine, but for some reason it's downsizing my videos to 1080p rather then leaving them in 4K or 2.7K that I shot them in. Did you run into this at all?
You have to make a new preset in handbrake to keep the resolution the same. I think the latest version of handbrake is different than the one shown in the video.
Hello I just bought a GoPro hero 8 And my time warp videos work good and my regular videos as well but when I download my slo-mo videos they don’t download In slow motion I do get the warning that if I don’t have HVEC that they won’t work but I tried the handbrake method as well but my videos still don’t download in slow motion PLEASE HELP !!!
hmm - got to throw in a note.. You are suggesting converting from one lossy format (byt this is what is used for recording, so nothing to do about the source) - to another lossy (quite a lot is lost when using h264)!! Not the best way to treat those good looking video files.. Rather convert from h265 to something lossless (requires A LOT of space on your drive), or to a low compress intermediate format like ProRes or DNxHR... It makes a world of difference!
my computer (macbook pro 2016) says its compatable but it wont play on my computer, my friend who has the exact same computer as me it works fine.... updating to mojave now to see if that helps..
Hi Meredith. I have an H6 and angsting over the whole HEVC issue. Decided to bypass by limiting my shoot to 2.7K fps 60 per the chart, thank you. My next issue is determining what I ned to do to my macbook pro to get palyback that is not hesitant. Any thoughts?
My 2016 Macbook Pro with Mac OSX Mojave can’t find my Gopro 6. I open the Gopro Quik and it finds the camera but the storage isn’t there. Image Capture the same. The videos work on my phone and the camera, but can’t get it on my computer to edit.. just bought both the Macbook and the Gopro.. what a bummer.
Still having trouble even with an updated computer and all the codecs you can think of. I captured my engagement on the gopro and it won't load. Everything is showing as a red x. Any other ideas?
I got heaps of footage that needs to be converted. Is there a faster way I could convert all of these footage? It's taking forever to convert one 10 seconds footage. :( cheers for the video btw
Thanks for this video. I just got a hero 6 and was thinking of returning it. Now that i can convert the file format i'll keep it. Someone on facebook sent me to your youtube video. Im subscribed now.
So my gopro didn't transfer the files from quik to my PC in the usual spot and now the files are gone. Where do i find these H.265 files now? it auto deleted from camera after transfer btw
babe.. why you're not explain about how to editing HEVC video with 240 FPS 1080 and 4K 60 FPS ?? i looking all arround in UA-cam and Browsing but i never found anyone who can explain this sucks situation, i already upgrade my PC like monster, i already instal adobe premiere cc 2018, but when i put video in 4k60 and 2.7K240 the videos just gone.. and i just have the Audio... so please explain this problem... i'm tired anyway.. thanks love
Thank you so much for the information. Quick question if I return the hero 6 and shoot 4k with the hero 5 black will I have the same problem with the lagging playback of the videos?? Just seems like a lot of work to always have to convert files when shooting 4k. Thanks
The lagging playback of videos may not be due to fact that it's HEVC footage, it might be your computer. So 4K from a Hero 5 might result in the same thing.
What's up with the new Hero6 file format, HEVC h.265?!?!

Girl, you just partially, save my workflow! Thanks! Will Try that, but my last try delivered a interlaced converted video. Will try handbrake as last resorce...
You're my hero for this post! From one Vid mom to another!
Hi Meredith...i have recorded video & pic on my go pro standard 2018 but i cant view it. i just changed with a new sd card.i checked the sd card with my laptop, i can view the folder and the space of recorded but unable to view it. thanks in advance. From Malaysia.
My new computer can play HEVC video files. However, how do I upload my HEVC videos to Google drive to share?
Thank you very much for your help. You make things easier. Great job!!
Hi! Thank you for these tutorials! They have helped me tremendously ever since we purchased our Go pro. We have a Sessions. We'll be going on vacation in a few months and will be taking our Go pro and our Handycam. What program should I use to combine the footage from the Go pro and Handycam to make one good home video. Thanks!
Mac - final cut or imovie
windows - premier pro
Wait what? So many video editing softwares support h265 codec. Why is this a problem? I record and edit in h256 all the time. Even free video editing softwares support h265 :)
I have a GoPro 7 and have been taking videos all season in 1080 and 4K. I have never had an issue until this weekends videos I drag and drop like I always do and it only shows the video and NO audio in premiere pro. Why is it only sometimes and issue?
hi there,
i tried it for my gopro 11 but it loose quality eventually :)
how can i adjust to not loose any quality of my video?
Do you know how I can batch the files? For example... this is taking me hours b/c I am using HandBrake to convert one file at a time. I have over 100 files :) Thank you! Great video by the way! Kevin.
HELP! I have a hero 5black and I can not plug the gopro into the laptop and watch them, they won’t load. I have to download the videos onto my computer just to be able to view them. HELP PLEASE!
I managed to convert the video just fine, but for some reason it's downsizing my videos to 1080p rather then leaving them in 4K or 2.7K that I shot them in. Did you run into this at all?
Strange! I haven't run into that.
You have to make a new preset in handbrake to keep the resolution the same. I think the latest version of handbrake is different than the one shown in the video.
Hello I just bought a GoPro hero 8
And my time warp videos work good and my regular videos as well but when I download my slo-mo videos they don’t download In slow motion I do get the warning that if I don’t have HVEC that they won’t work but I tried the handbrake method as well but my videos still don’t download in slow motion PLEASE HELP !!!
Thank you very much,I found your information most informative.Great info on the GoPro 6/7.
Great Video! Thank you so much
great info! i have an idea now. thanks to you.
Extremely helpful! I always enjoy your videos--thank you! Lenny
Thanks Lenny!
Is that mean's premier is not the next generation editing software?
hmm - got to throw in a note.. You are suggesting converting from one lossy format (byt this is what is used for recording, so nothing to do about the source) - to another lossy (quite a lot is lost when using h264)!! Not the best way to treat those good looking video files.. Rather convert from h265 to something lossless (requires A LOT of space on your drive), or to a low compress intermediate format like ProRes or DNxHR... It makes a world of difference!
Many thanks! was looking everywhere for this info. Smashed that like button
my computer (macbook pro 2016) says its compatable but it wont play on my computer, my friend who has the exact same computer as me it works fine.... updating to mojave now to see if that helps..
Hi Meredith. I have an H6 and angsting over the whole HEVC issue. Decided to bypass by limiting my shoot to 2.7K fps 60 per the chart, thank you. My next issue is determining what I ned to do to my macbook pro to get palyback that is not hesitant.
Any thoughts?
Install more RAM :) Playback is skippy for me too at that resolution and frame rate. I have 8 GB of RAM... 16 would be better. 32 would be amazing!
I wounder how he sent and 40gb file too her . Dont think air drop lets you send files that huge
Very helpful I’m converting as we speak. Thank you 👍🏼
Thank You so much!
Very helpful
Thank you!
sounds like a huge hassle just to watch some video of the fun stuff you did that day
My 2016 Macbook Pro with Mac OSX Mojave can’t find my Gopro 6. I open the Gopro Quik and it finds the camera but the storage isn’t there. Image Capture the same. The videos work on my phone and the camera, but can’t get it on my computer to edit.. just bought both the Macbook and the Gopro.. what a bummer.
Tommi Kahuuna try using an external memory card reader.
Thanks for the information.
Still having trouble even with an updated computer and all the codecs you can think of. I captured my engagement on the gopro and it won't load. Everything is showing as a red x. Any other ideas?
sorry all the images are showing as a red x but the videos won't play.
Thank you Thank you. I almost shoved my GoPro 6 in a drawer. Very Helpful and interesting even like you said,"Geeky" stuff. Cheers
I got heaps of footage that needs to be converted. Is there a faster way I could convert all of these footage? It's taking forever to convert one 10 seconds footage. :(
cheers for the video btw
Thanks for this video. I just got a hero 6 and was thinking of returning it. Now that i can convert the file format i'll keep it. Someone on facebook sent me to your youtube video. Im subscribed now.
Glad to hear!!!
On my camera it displays that my media is full, but there is no media when i view it on my pc or on my phone
So my gopro didn't transfer the files from quik to my PC in the usual spot and now the files are gone. Where do i find these H.265 files now? it auto deleted from camera after transfer btw
babe.. why you're not explain about how to editing HEVC video with 240 FPS 1080 and 4K 60 FPS ?? i looking all arround in UA-cam and Browsing but i never found anyone who can explain this sucks situation, i already upgrade my PC like monster, i already instal adobe premiere cc 2018, but when i put video in 4k60 and 2.7K240 the videos just gone.. and i just have the Audio... so please explain this problem... i'm tired anyway.. thanks love
Why convert to H264 from Hero 6 when you are better off with the Hero 5? I bought the hero 6 for H265, doesn't make sense to convert.
What works for you may not work for others 😉
hello !!!
if you take footage at 2.7k at 60fps is the same h.265??
I recorded in 2.7K/60fps the video is in codec 264 still coming out choppy. I have updated my Mac to high sierra any thoughts?
you're very knowledgeable! Thanks for the info it helped a lot.
Please my videos are still choppy after converting on handbrake and I use a macbook pro 2016 to edit the gopro footage.What do i do please?
Does this work with the HERO 7?
Thank you so much for the information. Quick question if I return the hero 6 and shoot 4k with the hero 5 black will I have the same problem with the lagging playback of the videos?? Just seems like a lot of work to always have to convert files when shooting 4k. Thanks
The lagging playback of videos may not be due to fact that it's HEVC footage, it might be your computer. So 4K from a Hero 5 might result in the same thing.
VidProMom thanks you for the response :) I bought a MacBook Pro in early 2015 so I guess it’s outdated already lol
TL;DR version: use HandBrake to convert the H265 footage to H264.
Im on hero7 black . win10 i9-9900k 32gig ram RX580 still no Quik HEVC support. WTF. I want to use the telemetry and cant
