I have just tried out H.265 support in Premiere, so a brief word on this now…
First a note about hardware. I am running Mac OS X on a PC with Nvidia GTX 970.
H.265 is demanding on the GPU and I have not tried it on my Macbook Pro yet. I have no idea if the mediocre ATI cards in the Mac Pro have built in hardware support for H.265 like the latest Nvidia 9xx cards.
So on performance I can only speak for the GTX 970 for now. This is a £250 card, so certainly not the most expensive. So if you are not trend to buy a one, is there another way to edit the 4K in Premiere CC?
If you wanna edit 4K videos in Premiere CC or previous version without any problem, you'd better downscale 4K footage to 1080p and transcode the 4K stuff (formatted/encoded in R3D, XAVC, XAVC S, MP4, MOV, MXF etc.) to a more-editing friendly format, such a Premiere's MPEG-2. In the following article, we will show you how to downscale and convert 4K to 2K MPEG-2 videos so that you can edit 4K footage in Adobe Premiere CC without bogging down your computer. The process is surprisingly easy and can be done using Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac.
