X264 lossless and x265 are both fails. X264 at 10-bit, AE says is 8-bit. X265 take 10x time to render out in Media Encoder and takes an unknown time (at least 100x) to build a frame.
I gave up after 11 hours – every other codec was 14 to 22 minutes a frame.
Adobe and x265 simply don’t play in my experience.

Subject: Re: [AE] Visually lossless codec thoughts
x264 has lossless compression methods and can also be 10bit.
AfterCodec has support for 10bit and YUV 4:4:4, not the lossless mode as far as i can see, but a high bitrate x264 should be better than the old simpler DCT based Prores or DNxHR
at comparable bitrates
Now the question is if AE will import them correctly again.
Personally I have the opposite experience, with Prores producing about
20% larger files than same flavor Cineform. I tried CFYUV10bit.
