  A friends tiny, early test experience with h-265 editing in High Sierra.

  My friend Felipe Baez posted earlier today about an initial High Sierra quick editing test he did.

  Using an iPhone 7Plus (only thing he had that shoots in H-265 currently) he shot 4K 30fps footage – brought it into iMovie (X isn’t h-265 compatible just yet.) and he says he was able to achieve what he called “buttery smooth” editing on – wait for it – an early 2016 12″ MacBook. (NOT Pro, the single port ultra light rig!)

  This may get very interesting as all the NLEs gets optimized for these new high efficiency codec workflows.

  I can see proxy editing getting insanely more efficient if this trend keeps up.

  FWIW.
