HEVC

High-Efficiency Video Coding (also known as H.265), a recently established compression standard designed to reduce file size while retaining a high-quality image. HEVC also supports larger frame sizes (including 8K) and HDR10 metadata for high-dynamic-range video. The Apple Devices transcode setting in Compressor includes two built-in options for HEVC output. You can also customize the MPEG-4 and QuickTime Movie settings to use the HEVC encoder. HEVC encoding in Compressor requires macOS 10.13 or later. HEVC playback requires a recent-generation Apple device running macOS 10.13 or later, iOS 11 or later, iPadOS 13 or later, or tvOS 11 or later.
