Does anybody know if PD-17 supports import "AND" export of H.265 10bit color files from the DJI Mavic 2 Pro? It is my understanding that in PD-16 you can import 10bit H.265 files but it will only produce 8 bit.

It would be nice to have a little original sample file, but I suspect at this moment PD export is firmly 8-bit.

Unfortunatelly 10bit video is not officially supported in v17 according to the spec, you may import/edit it but the video will be converted to 8bit and export to10bit video is not there.

Does anyone know if H.265 10 bit is on the radar for a future update of PD? I too have a Mavic 2 Pro and the features that PD have to date suit this camera, eg. H.265 files, LUT support, color grading, however it now seems, zero support for 10 bit color?

I've tried some H.265 10bit videos, it can be convert to 8bit for preview and edit, but the color looks "trimmed" to 8bit, no magic.
