Edit Samsung NX1 H.265 Files in Avid Media Composer 7 on Mac


As soon as the Samsung announced that its new kind series camera has adopted the latest codec H.265/HEVC, which has a higher quality and smaller size compared with the H.264, it has been a high-performance video camera. This kind of camera has the strong capability to shoot videos at 4K video at 24 fps, UHD at 30 fps, and full 1080p HD video at up to 60 fps. It’s Samsung NX1.



While as a new guy in this video place, H.265/HEVC has not yet been accepted by most devices, players, editing software, TV and more. According to this case, how to encode or decode the H.265/HEVC footage is an emergency task for us. No matter for editing tools or media players, no matter editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or playing on Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas Pro, etc., it is necessary for us to find a professional H.265 Encoder and Decoder to do a favor.

Different from 720p/1080p videos, the conversion of NX1 H.265 video is in a higher standard. As we know, there's no support for HEVC from non-linear editing such as Adobe Premiere, FCP X, Avid, etc currently, if we try to import Samsung NX1 to Avid Media Composer, we will have to transcode to work with the NX1 files.
