I don't have this problem with Premiere Pro.
My videos are exactly the same if I open them with MPLAYERX or with Premiere Pro. No conversion applied just the "raw" H265 file.

Same here. mpc-hc playback and premiere imported h265 look exactly the same.

Interesting. What are your nx1 settings? I used 0-255, gamma DR and blacks are crushed when imported to PP. No problem with MPC-HC. I wonder if it's specific to the camera settings.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I have an nx500. Where I don't have any options but I think it's 0-255 (as should be normal). I tried more than 1 clip, and I'm very sure they are exactly the same.

Also, I think native support is overrated tbh. Everybody was complaining about the extra transcoding step, but actually it could save time.

My workflow: avisynth directshowsource + encoding to lossless utvideo 4:2:0 in virtualdub(there's 4:2:2 too if you want, but will take more space). This operation is Fast, realtime encoding at 1080p50. Of course, you'll need some good hdd space. So where is the time saving you ask? It's the instant seeking in the stream. With the native hevc, seeking will be damn slow. With lossless it's instant. Depending on what you do with the footage, this can save lots of actual work time. And it's lossless. Why would anyone encode to slower and not lossless prores is beyond me.

That's an interesting approach I haven't seen mentioned before. I might give it a try later.

Regarding NX500, hmm, I wonder what it is about NX500 that gives you the same look from MPC-HC and Premiere. It's quite different for my NX1 and others here.
