Really? MPEG2?

I can't find any mention of that from the specs.

https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-mirrorless-cameras/lumix-g-cameras/dc-gh5s.specs.html

If that is the case, is the file being read properly I wonder?

@Olivier-Braud

Hi

I assume you mean you are recording MP4 or MOV file format at 400Mbps 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-Intra at one of the several resolution options available.

If the video is encoded with h.264 or AVC then, AFAICS, Movie Edit Pro does not support importing 10 bit h.264 video.

MEP does support 10 bit HEVC (h.265).

Hi,

You are right johnebaker, the full selected recording mode was :

MP4:

3840 x 2160, 24.00p

422 / 10 bit / ALL-I (HLG option selected)

Regarding computer data etc, here after are the characteristics:

Computer specification -

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz

RAM 16 Go

Video Card: GeForce GTX 1070

Chipset card: Intel (R) UHD Graphics 630

Hard drives:

SSD 500 Go

HD 1 To

Windows 10 Family 64 bits

Thanks for your help,

Hi

. . . . MP4: 3840 x 2160, 24.00p 422 / 10 bit / ALL-I (HLG option selected) . . .

After more digging around the camera specs, AFAICS, it does not support the HEVC / h.265 codec, only AVCHD and H.264.

This is what I suspected in my previous post.

The only way to use the existing video in MEP is to convert it down to 8 bit if the converter used refers to the bit level per colour or 24 bit for combined RGB colour.

"After more digging around the camera specs, AFAICS, it does not support the HEVC / h.265 codec, only AVCHD and H.264."

Yes it does according to the link @CubeAce included:-

[4K] 3840x2160>29.97p, 72Mbps (4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP) (AAC) (HEVC, HLG recording)/<[4K] 3840x2160>23.98p, 72Mbps (4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP) (AAC) (HEVC, HLG recording)

but not at not at - . . . . MP4: 3840 x 2160, 24.00p 422 / 10 bit / ALL-I (HLG option selected) . . .

@Olivier-Braud

Also MEP does not support 4.2.2 Chroma subsampling either.

@Scenestealer

Hi Peter

That is the first set of specs I saw, however they are for the GH-5S, not the GH-5 as posted in the topic title and first post.

@Olivier-Braud can you confirm which camera model you have, also could you analyse a video clip that is causing the issue with MediaInfo and post the results from the Text view here.

John EB

Hi johnebaker,

The camera is a GH5 not a GH5 S

@Olivier-Braud

Hi

Thanks for confirming the camera model and the MediaInfo data.

The video is encoded in AVC format and therefore not supported by MEP at 10 bit resolution.

What is the version number of your MEP as found under Help, About?

If it is not the latest version ( 18.0.2.235) could you upload a short, non confidential, 10 second clip from the camera, for us to test, to somewhere like Dropbox or similar file sharing site - not in the forum or Youtube, Vimeo etc as they will convert the video - and post a link to it.

HTH

John EB.

And my Magix Video ProX version is 15.0.4.176 (UDP3)

(Sorry for thisI thought my thread in the forum was in a Magix Video Pro X subsection)

I had seen a thread a little while ago where the guy was provided a download to solve this issue.

Emmrecs do you still need some further information?

Best regards,

@Olivier-Braud

Hi

. . . . .I had seen a thread a little while ago where the guy was provided a download to solve this issue . . . .

The download you are referring to is for a different issue.

Can upload a short clip from the GH-5 that we can test, as was asked for 3 comments up?

John EB

Hi,

Thanks again for your time,

Here after a link of a file;

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vwNQLCEtosgb6BxnBJGici0eELRbMFT-

Best regards,

Hi,

I tried to load it in VPX 16.0.2.317 and it took me to a screen to purchase the Codec. This is likely why it doesn't work.

MEP goes directly to the cannot load error, as it does not support this type of file at all.

John CB

@Olivier-Braud

Hi

Thansk for the video clip.

I got the following:

- VPX v 16.0.2.317 - loaded OK after being asked to download and install the AVC Intra codec - AFAIK I never had this codec before.

- MEP I am being asked to install Quicktime after which get load error.

HTH

John EB

How do I upgrade Video Pro X from 15.0.4.176 (UDP3) to VPX v 16.0.2.317?

By the way I didnt get any correct auto link, but i found this link under Help -> Install additionnal content -> Other components MPEG-4-Codec (MainConcept):

https://www.magix.com/index.php?id=20277&L=78&_pA=37069x1667&ComputerID=ENMPEG4V8-03512-31689-90013-03133-09773&phash=3SdiSwQZPEPGlAFc

It is MPEG 4 Additionnal content but i am not sure it would be the correct additionnal content hehe :-)

Best regards,

@Olivier-Braud

Hi

. . . . Video Pro X from 15.0.4.176 (UDP3) to VPX v 16.0.2.317? . . . .

This would suggest you did not renew your subscription for VPX when it expired, this you will have to do before you can update to the latest version.

. . . . MPEG-4-Codec (MainConcept) . . . .

The MainConcept codec is not the one you need for the GH-5 video- it is the AVC Intra that is required.

HTH

John EB

Hi,

I would rather not update VPX because its 200$

I would rather just update this codec for free or for 5$ if necessary.

Do you know if it is possible or if it can be made possible?

Best regards,

@johnebaker

- VPX v 16.0.2.317 - loaded OK after being asked to download and install the AVC Intra codec - AFAIK I never had this codec before.

John, was this a "free" download for you, or were you asked to pay nearly £60 for this codec? (Perhaps, needless to say, I didn't!)

MEP I am being asked to install Quicktime after which get load error

I didn't test the video in MEP but when I cancelled the codec activation screen, VPX immediately gave me the same error message. I do have Quicktime installed!

Jeff

@emmrecs

Hi Jeff

. . . . was this a "free" download for you, or were you asked to pay nearly £60 for this codec? . . . .

Download was 'free' in the sense that I may have got it several years ago.
