Are you looking for the best workflow between Samsung NX500 H.265/HEVC recordings and Premiere Pro CS 6/5/4? Just follow the post below, here we can offer you the best method to covert Samsung NX500 H.265 to Premiere Pro CS supported formats for editing. 


What Samsung NX500 4K camcorder differs from others?
As a 4K-capable camera, the NX500 Mirrorless Digital Camera from Samsung is among the most compact cameras in its class. Aside from 4K/24p, video can be recorded in Ultra-HD, at 30p, as well as in full HD up to 60p. To save space without sacrificing quality, the NX500 employs H.265 (HEVC) compression, which can capture extreme details using half the storage space typically used for HD recording. All above may be the outstanding features which can attract our eyesight.

Detailed explanation of Samsung NX500 H.265 and Premiere Pro CS 7/6/5
The Samsung NX500 camera records 4K H.265 videos in AVI/MP4 format, but the only problem is, HEVC/H.265 has not yet been accepted by most media devices, editing software like Premiere Pro, and FCP X, etc. So if you wanna edit your H.265/HEVC footage so nicely, it is necessary for us to find a professional H.265/HEVC decoder to transcode the files well.

Let’s just see how it works so well with H.265 files.

How to ingest Samsung NX500 4K H.265 footage to Premiere Pro CS 7/6/5?
