I got very frustrated with the Inspire and how easily the footage fell apart. Thanks for the clarification Barry! I'm sure the 100Mb/s data rate is a major improvement all around. QT player shows the H264 data rate at 101.4Mbs. It shows the bit rate of both the h264 and h265 as 101Mbs. The only way I can check the Data Rate on the H265 is in BrorSoft. I'll stand by my original comment that these codecs deliver largely identical results, and that there is no practical benefit to H265 at this point. This may be related to the increased noise reduction in the H265, as it starts out slightly smoother than the H264. Applying an extremely strong saturation adjustment did reveal some very slight aliasing in the H264 file, that was not visible in the h265. Applying an an extreme contrast adjustment showed no differences in the files.

It will be available from Monday April 9th from the Mac App Store.

The free update will include ProRes RAW for better footage acquisition and flexible closed captioning for media distribution. Apple have announced the next version of Final Cut Pro X will have two features for high-end workflows. Applying a strong unsharp mask failed to reveal any significant differences. Final Cut Pro 10.4.1: ProRes RAW and captions. The H265 seems to have slightly more noise reduction and perhaps more sharpening. Viewed at 400%, the shots were largely identical. I picked an identical spot in the camera movement and compared a frame from h264 and h265. I shot a relatively static scene with a slow gimbal tilt across the scene. Final Cut Pro X 10.4.6 Update Along with the MacOS update, the FCP X 10.4.6 version update will automatically convert any QuickTime 7 based codecs to compatible 64-bit formats. As I said earlier, it's difficult to design such a test with any accuracy. I just did a similar stress test involving a camera movement across some fine detail (leaves).
In the stress testing I did here, the h264 and h265 codecs by DJI appear to be identical."ĭid you compare footage with extreme detail like moving water and grassy fields and was the data rate/file size of the H.264 and H.265 exactly the same? I haven't done my own tests but I'm surprised to hear they look the same unless the source material didn't have obvious flaws.
