Like the Tutorial??? By me a coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/quantaaudio Here's is the link to where I downloaded the codec, guys: www.free-codecs.com/hevc_video_extension_download.htm (this has apparently been removed. Please do your own new search for the H.265 codec, or purchase the one from Microsoft. Thanks. Watch my free beginner's course for DaVinci Resolve 18.5 on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5CXaIeVibl4e6c

Thanks, you just saved my life.😅

[@andreykochergin]

it works! thank you! thats crazy.. but I can't believe that we have to find a solution to the codec problem inside a video editing program ourselves!!!

[@jdawg206A]

Thank you SO much! I spent hours trying every solution on youtube and this one worked! Didn't realize that recording 265/HEVC could cause so much headache in Davinci Resolve 18 ugh

[@quantaaudio]

You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful.

[@apoptose1558]

I love you man! I thought I would have to convert every GoPro recording to H264.

Thx mate, worked for me, download removed, but they gave solution for that, follow 3 simple steps on that page.

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@AoiYurei]

thanks man, I tried downloading the latest version which is currently "2.1.1161.0" , I downloaded it , installed it , and it didn't work, then I tried downloading the same version you did , and it worked without no issue.

[@NicholetteChua]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this helpful video, I was getting exasperated trying to figure out why my media was supposedly offline. I tried two clips, one shot on my old Samsung Note 10 and one shot on my Samsung S23 and somehow only the Note 10 video works fine entirely, the S23 video was the problematic one that did not work until this video.

[@Ajvngou]

Yes!

[@Ali-94]

Is there a version of the program that works on mac

[@oussamabounoui6094]

thank you so much bro you save mu life

Happy to help. Thanks for watching and the comment.

I'm using the free version of DaVinci Resolve and I bought the HEVC video extensions from the Microsoft store but still have the media offline on my mp4 files (h.264) :(

[@ompawar8065]

same with me any solutions u got?

It's working yeeeee

[@adityadav02]

BUDDY, now this site didn't have the download link . It has been removed . could u suggest an alternative please

[@huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn]

I used the codecguide website but dont get your hopes up, for me it did absolutely nothing

[@NeykongTV]

I downloaded the file but how do you install it?

[@HarryNicNicholas]

this didn't fix my problem, but for future reference what you need a another codec HEVC

[@BigSkinnySlimm]

It appears that site has removed the download links as of checking just now to install for myself, is there any chance you could point us in the right direction to a different link?

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Unfortunately did all this yet both davinci or premiere don't open my files. Not even windows media player

[@Andy_94]

you saved my life 😳

[@quantaaudio]

Glad the video was helpful.

[@schtaan2]

Link to download has been removed, So i bought it from Microsoft store for about 1 Usd$ and it works

[@leifdux7277]

After downloading and installing appbundle and restarting DaVinci, I am still receiving the same error. Sad

[@kabaalmetessociaal]

its removed couple of days ago. cant download it anymore

[@mandasmovingcastle]

Hi- I just tried this, but it looks like the codec has since been removed. Any suggestions on another codec to use?

[@jdawg206A]

Quick update to my earlier comment, for some reason when I load a HEVC video in Davinci Resolve after installing the codec it would cause the program to slow down to the point where I have to force restart my computer :( Not sure why that is happening :(

[@werdwerdus]

this is so strange that it is required. i can export my files to HEVC from davinci but it doesn't support importing them. weird!

[@bizudamarasengan]

Due to dmca... links got removed

[@quantaaudio]

You can always perform a new search for a different HEVC codec.

[@andre.videomaker]

Is this codec available for the Mac version?

[@Kevnslife]

Solved it, thanks!

[@DanielAlbanoIII]

Thank you! It works! 😁👍

[@doughgarcia6086]

The problem i am having right now is just 1 second of my video is showing media offline everything else is fine it just Flash really quick on a part of a clip... it doesnt miss with anything sound is great and video is great but it is annoying and i cont figure out why it does that i am on beta 19

[@davidvader8723]

The problem im having is after downloading it, I load it up and it's still in davinci resolve 18

[@athenawokes]

this did not work i still cant see my media pool idk if i did it right

[@gonzalogomez]

me either. Using a gopro hero 12 files

[@mathiashebras]

Hey, i m on Dv 18.6 and my media are not lost but i got on almost every of my footage " media offline " screen flashes regulary, idk what to do the source folder is already choose..

[@quantaaudio]

It'd be difficult to say what the issue could be without seeing your system. Hopefully you've resolved the issue.

[@user-gs6en2yn2j]

so iu is missing you can only dl ext. and it didn't work. i migh use different video editing this app has so many issues. waste of time and energy trying to fix this.

[@Minderz]

The link has been removed is all I get when I get to webpage. Guess I was to late

[@JayHawk4372]

The links to download the appx file don't work. It doesn't even load the site.
