You might experience issues playing MP4 files encoded in the HEVC (H.265) format in Corel VideoStudio if you are using a not fast computer. In this post, we’d like to share a solution to fix Corel VideoStudio and H.265/HEVC incompatibility issue.
The successor to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HEVC achieves double the data compression of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and, best of all, preserves the video quality. As it claims, the latest version of Corel VideoStudio can support H.265 codec, but importing and editing issues occurred from time to time. So, is there any possible way to work HEVC files with Corel VideoStudio? Of course there is.
If you are using Corel VideoStudio in the Windows 10 Creators Update. The HEVC video extension is not included in Windows 10 Creators (was included in previous releases of Windows 10).
To fix the issue, you can install the HEVC video extension from the Microsoft Store:

If this doesn’t solve your issue and you are having problems editing HEVC H.265 files in Corel VideoStudio, we would recommend transcoding the video files to a format that is compatible with your editing program first.
Now, we’ll share the easy way to re-encode H.265 to Corel VideoStudio for editing without any trouble.
