H.264 VS H.265 // A7S iii Best Codec out of camera

[@rt_visual]

Did you notice a difference at all?? I think XAVC S H.264 is more than enough... I will say though, that exporting the final render in H.265 did make a difference vs exporting H.264! What'd you think?

[@jaxondean336]

The shadows and highlights on the face at 2:06 feel much more pronounced

[@anupamkaushik3548]

If h.265 is better than most of then why most of the editing softwares like da vinci resolve and premiere pro use h.264 ?

[@filmzfilmz]

Yes

[@filmzfilmz]

Great video

[@MattGomezS]

@@anupamkaushik3548 Apple phones use h.265 for a lot years with better results, Instagram too, and a lot of platforms

[@msnspy]

And damn that room lighting with your clothing is lit

[@bryanbarajasBB]

A brief experiment I did notice that contrast in the H.265 is better, than in H.264. I converted MLV files in Magic Lantern, using Canon EOSM, in 10 bit 4:2:0, H.265, and I can see that my red color off of my shirt was more red, contrast, than in H.264.

[@chrisw5742]

I have an EOS-M with magic Lantern also and was thinking H265 would be better for color alone with 10 bit.

[@bryanbarajasBB]

@@chrisw5742 check my recent video: sonnet 24, test with Canon FD zoom lens 35-105, with speedbooster on ML Eosm...

[@SagaciousEagle]

The difference in image quality between the two encoders becomes more apparent in lower video bitrate, let's say in 1Mbps footages.

[@jayzn1931]

I don't see a noticeable difference...but what about filesizes? if the bitrate is the same, the H265 should be able to show a lot higher quality, probably only noticeable in special scenes though.

[@RonieSaleh]

Very well explained, thank you! 🙏

[@KingdomheartsSTARWARS]

Cool video man! interesting. I been using h 265 recently i was like wow it looks better

[@sjmedia_official]

i guess it matters when you do a high altitude drone shots to see the details better

[@christopherdunn317]

I saw some more detail on the face, but the lighting on the side of your face seem to be more lit up than the h.264 ,but the other pics it was hard to tell.

[@aquadrifters1077]

Thanks for doing that testing.

[@rt_visual]

No sweat! thanks for hanging out

[@silklion7375]

With the new M1 Processors from Apple the hw265 are way easier to edit than h264. I wish both were the same but now irs easier to choose h265 since its the better codec anyway

[@mickeytheviewmoo]

I think the main advantage of H265 is that you can reduce the file size by reducing the bit rate and keep the same quality.

[@apipmyblack]

nahhh. false. h.265 bit rate with lower filesize did better job on noise than h.264

[@ivicanikolic034]

i have strange artefacts in h265 slog 100p... faces are randomly blurry or pixelated... what can be the problem?

[@Kayserjp]

faster sd card you need

[@ivicanikolic034]

@@Kayserjp it was only in premiere, nothing wrong with original files or in resolve

[@directorx5088]

The part when you turn your head to the right 2:01 your hair is a lot clear on the H.265 the H.264 it looks washed.

[@Bo_Hazem]

Very interesting, gonna use H.265 anyway.

[@Pfagnan]

I shoot everything in H265 and no problem editing or rendering on a high end PC in Premiere. However I shoot 4.2.0 not 4.2.2 as I dont need the extra colour information as I don’t colour grade and it is harder to edit so 4.2.0 great for me. Only thing is when I export to save as mp4 for KZbin, it does not like H265 and the resulting mp4 export is quite choppy so I now do JUST the export in H264 and all is good!! Weird I know….

[@seanhynes9516]

Thank you so in conclusion, if there is a lot of movement and sky (gradients) use h.265 for Rending . But in live broadcast h.265 is fine? Thank you!

[@OlafSurft]

Graficcards von NVIDEA for example GTX handle only h265 in 4:2:0. If you choose 4.2.0 then works editing fine.

[@norbertnagy3123]

Even one is not used to H.264, already here HEVC H.265 are movies that cannot be converted with any program and cannot be played with a player. The successor to H.264. Hasn't H.264 been good so far?

[@Arunaasthra]

265 better in colour, contrast, details, motion did I miss anything?

[@kevinclass2010]

Because h265 uses it's bit rate more efficiently than h264

[@HonestFred]

Which lens are you using? Did you do color correcting or grading after or was it direct from camera? Thanks

[@freshprinceofsolair]

proxies?

[@spicyyetumami]

Great bro

[@msnspy]

Might i ask so is s i codec better than both ?

[@Bass.Player]

doesn't 265 generate a smaller file?

[@kevinclass2010]

Not always. You can either lower the bit rate the same to save space or keep the same bit rate to increase quality

[@Arvidje]

what about rendering a h264 to h265, should be better then.

[@Pfagnan]

I did the opposite if you read my previous post. Shot and edited in H265 but exported in H264

[@jeetinj]

Can you please recommend PC build configuration to handle h.265 files without making proxies the way M1 chip handles R5 or A7sIII files? it will be really help

[@spencerkm]

You need hardware acceleration. Look into puget systems articles. They have one on which codecs are currently supported on what devices

[@franktothemax]

It's weird. I've only exclusively filmed using H.264 or ALL-I due to my PC's ability to quickly handle the file types and provide a smooth editing workflow.. but today I accidentally discovered my M1 2021 Mac mini with 16gb of Ram PREFERS the h.265 codec over anything else. If I attempt to open a 10 bit 4:2:2 H.264 video file on my Mac mini, I always get an error message with QuickTime before the video opens up completely. With a 10-bit 4:2:2 H.265 video from my FX3, the Mac has no problem opening it up in QuickTime and will actually preview the video clip when you push spacebar on the video file, unlike the h.264 files. It's mind boggling.

[@spencerkm]

@@franktothemax I think it’s because newer chips from both Apple and Intel have h265 hardware-acceleration. Depends on the codec and bit depth etc

[@sadoon76]

I can see 264 is fine

[@roykim5559]

your interior lighting is very dramatic
