Due to the fact that NVENC has difficulty encoding Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 drone footage into h.264, I decided to poke around with the settings in the Adobe plugin for NVENC. I discovered there is a HEVC encoding option, so I tried it.
The good: it encoded the whole file and looks great on my Oppo UDP203 and 4K Sony projector.
The bad: the file is six times larger than the Adobe Media Encoder h.264 render of the same segment of the project. Also, the estimated file size says 800Mbytes. But the rendered file is over 5GB.
Worse: Changing the target bitrate has no effect on the rendered file size.
Is the NVENC HEVC settings locked at 55Mbps and the controls are dummies that do nothing?
