HEVC

High-Efficiency Video Coding (also known as H.265), a video compression standard designed to reduce file size while retaining a high-quality image. HEVC also supports larger frame sizes (including 8K) and HDR10 and Dolby Vision 8.4 metadata for high-dynamic-range video. The Apple Devices transcode preset in Compressor includes three built-in options for HEVC output. You can also customize the MPEG-4 and QuickTime Movie presets to use the HEVC encoder. HEVC encoding in Compressor requires macOS 10.13 or later. HEVC playback requires an Apple device with macOS 10.13, iOS 11, iPadOS 13, tvOS 11, or later.
