If I choose to record in 2.64 codec will the Osmo Action 3 still record in 10 bit color?

I recently switched from GoPro Hero 11 to the Osmo action 3 for my YouTube channel, I'm very happy with the camera so far. My editing program on my laptop has trouble with HEVC 2.65 codec. If I switch to recording in 2.64 I can use my older editing program that has been flawless. Just wanting to make sure I wont lose the 10 bit color as it really makes a big difference in video quality.

You only get 10 bit with h.265 and D-CineLike.

use Proxies, or try renaming hte extension see if that helps

Hi, PNW Enduro. Thank you for reaching out. 2.64 doesn't record 10-bit color. If you choose HDR mode or change the color mode to D-Cinelike, the format will automatically be changed to H.265.

Why use that old format. It's ok, But, Look at youtube, why 265 is better, incam and saved files on computer. I did think, like you, use old 264 when all my other cams use it. But do not matter at all. When you have, edit your video, and wanna upload, render out in 264 for youtube. That works ok. But if you have a file you realy wanna save for later in life, save in 265 and you will not have lost any qualerty in, packing and unpacking.
Just give in, use 265 lol

not all are with  todayte machine

It was my laptop that could not handle editing the files, not enough ram. I've upgraded my laptop now so no more problems and I use 265.
