Posted on June 29, 2017 by admin

With the fast-growing adoption of 4K video, it’s necessary a video compression standard for better video quality while keeping file size smaller. HEVC, also refer as H.265 seems to be answer and successor to H.264 video compressor widely used today, and it promise to be have optimal video quality as H.264, but with better file size control. For encoding H.265 files, some guys recommend Handbrake. While, there are some issues when using Handbrake encoding H.265 files. In this article, we aim to explore these Handbrake 1.0.0 H.265/HEVC encoding issues and solutions.

Handbrake 1.0.0 H.265 Encoding Issues & Solutions

Issue: “I try to output H.265 MKV file with the latest updated 1.0.0 version of Handbrake.

What’s the problems, any suggestions would be appreciated.”

Solution: Although there are many software options out there on your computer claims to support H.265 playback natively, however, as the H.265 decoding process is very processor intensive, therefore, you will easily encounter video playback lagging or stuttering issues when you try to playback H.265 with VLC, Windows Media Player, MPC-HC, Kodi, Plex, etc. When in that condition, make sure to update your H.265 player to the latest version.

Issue: “It takes a long time to encode H.265 with Handbrake, are there any Handbrake alternative H.265 encoder software that allows me to generate H.265 file format more efficiently.”

Solution: For advanced users who can better control of Handbrake output profile settings, you can easily get a better quality and small file size of H.265 files with appropriate settings. However, as Handbrake is an open source video transcoder application and it has old licenses to old H.265 profiles, in addition, H.265 is different from x265 which is the hero in the department. Fortunately, there are some programs that can take good advantage of Nvdia GPU hardware acceleration to largely accelerate H.265 encoding speed on a PC with NVENC Nvidia Graphic cards that supports Maxell (GM206) or Pascal technology.Best Handbrake alternative to encode H.265 with Nvidia GPU acceleration

Actually, the 4K video was restricted to edit in After Effects. Only the latest version After Effects CC can natively support 4K video like Sony’s XAVC. The previous version After Effects CS4/CS5/CS6 has not yet been updated for 4K support. What’s more, due to the format limit, we can’t edit 4K MOV from iPhone in After Effects flawlessly. As mentioned above, we need to encode iPhone 4K to After Effects compatible video and even downscale 4K to 1080p if necessary. What you need is a 4K video converter application.

Step 1: Load source iPhone 4k files

Launch the 4K Video Converter on your Mac, and you can either click “Add” button to import .wmv files, or directly drag and drop the files into this program.

Step 2: Select output format

To import WMV files to After Effects, you can follow Adobe Premiere/ Sony Vegas column and select MPEG-2 (*.mpg) as output format.

Step 3: Video/Audio settings

Click “Settings” button if you’d like to customize advanced audio and video parameters like Video Codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, audio channels. If you are using After Effects CS6/CS5/CS4 which does not fully support native 4K files, 1080p would be the best settings. Of course, if you wanna get a 4K workflow in After Effects CC, you can keep the original 4K video resolution.

Step 4: Start conversion

Click the convert button under the preview window, the iPhone 4k video converter will start encoding 4K MOV for importing to After Effects.
