Conceived to boost video streaming, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), or H.265, is a video compression standard designed to substantially improve coding efficiency when compared to its precedent, the Advanced Video Coding (AVC), or H.264. With an increasing growth of video streaming on the Internet over popular websites such as Netflix and YouTube, and with 4K cameras gaining new ground in the market, a considerable amount of storage and bandwidth is required. HEVC promises a 50% storage reduction as its algorithm uses efficient coding by encoding video at the lowest possible bit rate while maintaining a high image quality level.

Since more and more cameras are coming out from H.265 support, doing some postproduction to your H.265 footage could be very nice. Camtasia lets you recording a video on your computer screen for making lessons, tutorials or product demos. The built-in video editing tools, animations and effects also help to turn your screen recordings into compelling videos. However, it is frustrated that when you try to import H.265 footage to this software, cause Camtasia could not support H.265/HEVC natively.
