Finally, I've found a solution for the laggy videos because of unexperienced recording in H.265. However, I have to admit, that the quality drop compared to the initial video was colossal! But anyway it works and with your help, I can finally create a video clip from my recent trip!
You can customize the quality in the software so that there is least loss.
Thx man, you actually helped me a 1000 times better than the official GoPro-support did...
Seems like heroes don't always wear capes.^^
I hope you have a great day!
aww thanks for this beautiful comment, i appreciate your comment and as always, i am happy to help :)
Why did you convert it to 1080P instead of keeping it at 4K? If you wanted to keep it at 4K/60 but just change H265 to H264, which preset should you choose on the right side?
I am so grateful to have found your video!! I was excited to get my GoPro Hero 7 and then this started happening I stopped making vids because I was so frustrated. Thank you SO MUCH for your help. Subbed!
Awesome, happy to help. I know transitioning from old GoPros to the new one can be bit tough, i faced this issue myself too. Welcome to the YT family :)
Thanks for the tutorial Rajat was pretty useful to convert videos from my iPhone X, encoded with H.265 as well, and then be able to import those in DaVinci Resolve 16 running in Windows 7. This is pure gold.
Thanks for your comment, happy to help :)
it's been months figuring out how to fix my gopro videos. kudos to you!!!!! thank you so much Rajat!
so helpful!! thank you i have HEVC H.265 codec installed on my laptop but for some reason it still wont play anything above 2160p60 without extreme lagging this has helped massively and its pretty quick you dont really lose any video quality either
Wonderful, thank you very much. I have spent a full week trying to sort this problem out and hopefully now its all sorted. Thanks so much for your help, much appreciated.
I have got a 4gb recording and i wanna convert it to h264 from hevc
My pc specs are amd radeon 2500 u with amd vega mobile gfx 8 gb ram no ssd
Do you know how much time will it take to convert
Coz i really want it to be converted as it is stuck in media pending while importing it to premiere pro
Reply please
Thanks for the help!! Been googling the how to convert HEVC to H.264 properly, went to 10 different websites all bunch of crap..
Awesome, i am happy to help. Please consider liking and sharing the video to help it :)
Great video and thought I was going to get the answer to my issue but my issue is obviously a different problem. Do you happen to know or have done a video on a "codec" not being installed? Every time I go to download a video from my brand new GoPro 12 onto Adobe Premier I continuous to receive the following message and cannot figure out what I'm missing? "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". Thank you for any help or guidance!
Hey, great video! i was just wondering, after you decode down to say 1080p, does it loose any quality or is it not really enough to notice? Thank you.
There would be loss in quality, I'm actually in the process of finding the perfect software to just change the Video codec and nothing else with the Quality. Have to give Handbreak a shot!
Thank you. Just a suggestion, please speak a bit slower so it's easier to follow what your saying. It worked for me.
Thank you for the suggestion, i will keep it in mind.
handbrake won't let me use hero 7 4k resolution as an output, can't figure it out. input is 4k 30fps 4-3 i want to convert it to h264 to use in premiere
This was extremely helpful, you just helped save my behind on a project that is due very soon lol
What I want is a software dat can convert without losing any quality. So this one is from 472mb to 153mb? Dats sure a quality lost. H264 is twice the H265 size means if h265 size is 472mb after converted it to mp4 will b 944mb, dats the actual size from the source without losing any quality! Dis is suck!
I don't think there is a quality loss as H265 codec is better and lighter than H264 however if there is a loss then it is not noticeable.
It would be a lot simpler if GoPro etc kept the option to switch between 264 and 265 in the first place. The hero10 has that option but not the 11 or the 12 that Ive just bought. 😡
But there is one problem - it will be HD, what you could have done in camera settings , gopro 7 records in H.264 up to 4K-30. Which serious software could make H.264 4K-60?
Nice video. Plese can zou tell me whether after converting the video quality is the same as before conversion? I have checked that the file after conversion is so much smaller. Thats why I am asking. Thank you.
Thanks. It worked well for my gopro videos!
Cheers mate, worked a charm!
I have a question and I find it very weird. I have 2 laptops and these are the models and specs:
AVITA Magus 12.2" 2-in-1 Laptop -
Specs: www.avita.com/sg/product/magus-spec
MSI GE60-2QD Apache -
Specs: www.msi.com/Laptop/GE60-2QD-Apache/Specification
I am a new user to GoPro Hero8 Black. Previously, I am a user of DJI Osmo Pocket. After recording footage on GoPro (4K 60FPS), I went over to MSI Laptop and tried to play the video (as it is filmed on SD Card). It was almost the same issue as yours in the video. However, I wanted to try out also on my AVITA Laptop. Surprisingly, the video played smoothly on my AVITA Laptop where the specs is far worst than MSI Laptop. Note that I am using "Flims & TV" application in both cases. Any reasons for this? I would gladly like to hear your advise on this. Thanks a lot!
Also, I’d like to say your solution works for me. Thanks! But I do not see a need for this if DJI Osmo Pocket do not required this and working properly. I want to find a solution for why slow playback is happening on my MSI Laptop.
Hi, thanks for your question. I am not sure what the codec is looking for compatibility. I know HEVC is a new codec and needs upgraded hardware. By the way i just got a new MSI laptop for me too and i am still waiting to try it on mine.
@@fundoorajat Thanks for getting back to me. I’d like to find a solution to why so if you could provide me one. I don’t see a reason why a better laptop has a laggy playback whereas a better performance on the other one. Tried to play on SD Card directly and copied over to another drive, it is the same results anyway. 😔
Handbrake can lose quality when we convert x265 to x264?
m watching it in 2020 n Its still helpful, Thank You a Lot😊🙏
Thanks.It is useful since I encountered this issue since I am still new GoPro player.But when I convert to 264 and save the file back to sandisk of gopro and want to use GoPro app to watch it by phone,but it cannot work.Is there any solution?thanks
U helped me alot with those tips & tricks! But I do have a question for u with Handbrake app, is there still a way to keep the 4K quality? Cause now I seem to have converted 1080fp HD quality ...prefer to get rid of the laggy frames but I do want to keep my 4K from the original file ...
Happy to know that :)
Yes at 3:47 at the Dimensions tab, you just need to manually change the dimensions to 3840 x 2160.
This helped me a lot! thank you.
You are welcome, please like and share the video to support it further :)
So I noticed when you converted it, you did so at 1080p, while the original source file was at 4k res. Will this resort at a loss of video quality? I know the file size will be much smaller which is beneficial but I don't wanna do so if I'm losing video quality.
There would be some loss of quality but not much if you play on the 1080 screen. If you play that video on 4k screen then you would see the loss.
Hence it depends on where you are going to play it, so you can choose the quality better suited to yourself.
Not use the handbrake convert software why
When my saves it just saves as a document that can’t be opened, do you know why? 😔
Hello , I found your video very helpful. I have bought GoPro11, but for some videos I really don't want HEVC codec videos , because then every time I have to convert files via handbreak. Can't I directly shot in gopro11 with H.264 codec so that I don't have to do extra conversion process in handbreak?
did you find out any info on this
I’ll answer that. Simply No. they stopped that option with the hero 10. I’ve just got the 12 and it’s annoying as my MacBook isn’t new enough. Utterly shocking. GoPro need a negative comment for doing that.
Have you or anyone found a better conversion tool currently.
Like pretty much everything new or with the word "efficient" in it, that just means it doesnt work. I ended up spending a LOT of money and still can only use 1080p, so thats it. I made the mistake of going DJI (which was the worst), now Gopro. It also sucks but marginally better. So, get ready for shaky quality, jumpy focus, and horrible commands in the touch screen.
If I had autofocus on my old Canon, Id still use that. Dont get me started on sound issues.
But, this is the new world, somebody decides on a new standard, with no consideration if it works ok or not and us pleps have to take it. Well, never buying another camera in my life. Thats it, sticking to this.
Also, Handbrake still has a weird virus in it. (Thanks Gopro for not even bothering with your own software...nah, lets recommend the use of a sketchy thing with a long history of embedded viruses). It wiped out all my system restore points, turned it off, and messed with my registry. Took me hours just to undo all that and remove it. And the icing on the cake, was recording a whole bunch of things, based on what Gopro said themselves that 1080p slomo was the old format. It is not..so now my footage was lost. Yes, its lost, because none of the converters can handle large files, and even the small test videos come out unusable.
New technology sucks. Id rather do this in analog.
Wow! work for me I been looking for this long time Thank you so much
You are welcome, happy to help :)
My CPU usage when converting a file with handbrake is around 97%, is that normal seeing how videos are being converted or is Handbrake using my Pc for mining?
This is normal, when i convert my youtube videos using Adobe Premier it takes like an hour to do and lot of usage.
Cheers mate! was so helpful
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Thanks.. post conversion, the footage remain in 4k resolution with source frame rate right? I tried changing resolution to 4k but it didn't allow me to enter the 4k resolution.. appreciate your effort
Hi, correct the source frame rate will remain.
why u cant convert HEVC 4k in H.264 4k? only in 1080p..allows me not more then 1080p
You can, you just have to look for settings. It should allow you to select the options.
@@fundoorajat i must have use the web project settings... Thank
Hi but when we use Handbrake to convert to H264 are we essentially loosing any image/bitrate quality the H265 file had ?
Hi, i would say yes but this may be very less. The reason i am saying Yes is because H.265 was devised for this purpose only to improve quality while keeping size low.
Hey man.
Thank you so much for the excellent video!
Just today I received my Hero 9 black. After a few first shots I noticed that my computer was not able to run most of the videos smoothly (Supports only 1080 resolution).
I would love to know in the context of the explanation you gave - does the image quality remain high or decrease when I shoot at 4K resolution and then use this software to convert to 1080 resolution?
I ask to understand if I have the ability to take advantage of 4K resolution and still use it on my old computer that is unable to run such a resolution. thanks! :)
Congratulations for getting the newest one. You will have to play with the output settings to match the exact settings as the source in order to get the similar resolution.
@@fundoorajat Thank you!
It seems that the software has no option for a resolution higher than 1080. Is that right or am I missing something? When I manually change to the desired resolution the software automatically returns to 1080.
Hi, just came across your video. I've been using this method for my go pro 7 but my videos start to have really bad flickering once the encoding process is complete. You can look at some of the videos on my channel for reference. How do I fix this?? PS: Ive already tried switching from NTSC to PAL (and vice versa) and i also have tried a new high quality memory card
Hi, this is strange. Have you tried installing codecs in your system? Try the K-Lite Mega codec pack.
I recored 1080 240 fps video with my hero 6 black and i did what i saw in this video. I choose the same fps as the source, but the video gets 27 fps, not 240 fps. I want to record 240 fps slow motion videos. What should i do ?
Don't use a preset (if you were) and set the fps manually in the Video tab 4:28
Wow thank you so much you just helped me big time!!! I am not a computer expert but I am in desperate need to know how to work my Gopro7 clips. KUDOS TO YOU
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Thx for sharing your information,.. This helped me sooo much,... actually, this program is the best I have used period. Fast converting and it's almost like the video is even better quality than the original ;)
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Yes i like this tool too.
Very helpful. Truly appreciate it!
it shows 4 hr 20 min for 3 hr video.. omg.. plz tell is there any mkvtool nix like software free
Sir cannu please guide me? I have go pro hero 7 . When i import my video to wonderspred filmora aap on my pc (windows 7) the video is not supporting there..… i don't know how to fix that problem n why this is happening..
Which codec did you record the video? Is it H.265 codec? Is it lagging on your PC? If yes then you need to convert to H264 codec. This video should help you.
Good Job👍🏾 I will try this tonight
Awesome, let me know how did it go for you.
Problem are face in net framework software not install
Thank you. Great explanation and to the point.
Thanks for the lesson 👍🏽👍🏽
You are welcome bro, happy to help :)
Helo bro can't we get the same 4k video without changeing it to 1080p to our PC,. Laptop??
Please reply
@@adipolidaa279 If you recorded 4k on 120 fps or higher then it will not work on laptop directly. You will need to convert it to H264. You can convert 4k H265 to 4k H264
is it normal for a 10min video to be completed in 3 hours?
May be, depends on lot of things like your computer configuration, video settings and background processes. Try some other video with some other settings to see how they perform.
My gopro hero 7 black is not playing in my pc please help
eu brasileiro aprendendo com o indiano 😂, thanks friend !
Hi! Mine just can't run HEVC videos at all and my hardware can't actually run HEVC even if I downloaded the extension. Will this work? Can I edit this in GoPro Quik? Would appreciate it if anyone answers :)
You need to edit the HEVC videos to regular H.264 codec. This software Handbrake will help you in converting the videos.
Thank you brother its work 100%
Tnx, it really helped but after 4 or 5 times successfully converted vids something went wrong it says “queue finish & an error detected” pops up something like & What version of handbrake your using...tnx 1s again & Gb,
Try uninstalling it and installing the latest version of the software, it should help :)
Rajat Gupta tnx bro!
Can we convert confidential data using this handbreak? Is it safe?
Yes, because you install it on your machine so the data remains on your machine.
Great video but after encoding it saves to my desktop as a data file therefore I can't play it as a video. Any help?
I am not sure what you did. Did you try the steps exactly? Try to save it as a video file.
I got the same problem and I created a folder and named it video. I saved the video to the folder and it started to work maybe that will work for you as well.
Wow man... Thanks a lot... Now i need to do the same with toher 50 files... :D
Thanks Rajat can you use filmora to do the same thing?
I am not sure of Filmora, haven't had a chance to use it yet. You may try it :)
@@fundoorajat thanks
How can I get the converter files into GoPro studio for editing then? Or is this not an option?
Can you please explain a little more? If you have to edit the HEVC files then you will first need to convert them to H.264 as GoPro studio will not recognize them.
Rajat Gupta the hero 7 I had had filmed in GXO files instead of GHO so I can’t import into GoPro studio??
I have tried to convert into a different format CZcams one and another 1080 4k format but GoPro studio greys it out and won’t let me select 😢
@@annagriffiths717 I am not really aware this format, but did you try this?

Rajat Gupta hi yes thanks, I have done all of that, my filmed clips actually play on my laptop but won’t import into GoPro studio even after converting with the package mentioned in the link. Gutted! Everyone saying thy is is a huge error by GoPro and basically they have not created a package to read it yet 😢😢

called SHOTCUT. When you load an H264/H265 file it invites you
to convert to .mp4 - Oh, hell yeah! And it does quick & easy.
