OK, I finally had a chance to run some H.265 files through the latest Premiere Pro.

Yes, I do see crushed blacks IF I play within PP or export to H.264 format and play it with another player (I use the MPC-HC).

If I export to H.265 format, it retains the tone curves perfectly and looks the same as the original source file. And boy does it look fantastic.

If you were to import an H.265 directly to the time line and then convert the same clip to H.264 before import, have you compared the two files on the same time-line using the lumetri scopes? I find that the scopes for the H.265 file really bottom out, which of course makes it impossible to export to anything else without some basic PP to contrast and brightness (brightness -3, contrast -15 to make the two clips about the same).

I must admit I have not tried exporting to H.265 and for the foreseeable future I can't imagine needing to, although I will try it out of curiosity.

But this is obviously an oddity and something that Adobe needs to address.

Thanks for your input I was beginning to think that this was just my problem!
