The licensing fee for H.265 is apparently quite expensive, and the file type isn’t used by very many cameras…so not supported by HitFilm. HitFilm 2017 can’t handle H.265 HEVC, that why you have this issue. Anyone know that issue? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks for any help.” I can use GoPro MP4 files without any trouble. Now, when I import the MP4 files into HitFilm 2017, it only recognizes the audio file with no video. “So I just received several MP4 files encoded with H.265 codec from my client. HitFilm 2017 only reads audio in H.265 MP4 In that case, you will need to convert HEVC MP4 files to DNxHD or ProRes codec first for a smooth editing workflow in HitFilm. If you experiencing audio only issues while working with an MP4 file in HitFilm, it is probably because your MP4 file is compressed with the HEVC H.265 codec.
