Can't Edit H.265/HEVC in Premiere Pro? Resolved!

Most video-shooting are at 4K (2160x3840) whose bitrate is larger compared to recordings of 480P, 720P or 1080P. In terms of compression efficiency, H.265/HEVC is better compared to H.264. It saves space and reduces bandwidth pressure during data transfer. It is for these reasons that compression of 4K videos is preferably in the HEVC video codec. The importing process of premiere pro h265 is, however, not a walk in the park, even for the most professional editors working with Adobe. Codec incompatibility, lagging, or choppy problems are some issues you can expect when you import your videos. When you want to troubleshoot any editing issues of 4K H.265/HEVC, the below solution will come in handy.
