So I've been having this issue for a while where my Ryzen 5 1600 absolutely chuggs when I try to edit or preview the timeline for HEVC H.265 footage from my GoPro and I'm wondering if there's anything that I can do or if my processor just lacks an instruction set or something. I have the HEVC video extension installed from the Microsoft Store, 32 GB of RAM, an NVMe scratch disk that the footage is stored on, and just about every other possible software issue or hardware bottleneck accounted for. I've tried using both Sony Vegas and Davinci Resolve but both still present the issue. Please let me know if the issue is my processor or if I'm missing something. It's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to have realtime playback without having to change the codec via handbrake before editing.

Hevc is quite demanding on processing power for decoding, and it isn't designed for straightforward editing. The most effective approach is to create proxies or convert the video into a simpler format such as ProRes or DNXHD.
