Apple announced during the Final Cut Pro X Creative Summit the news for the 10.4 update for Final Cut Pro X. One of the news is that the company's video editor will receive support for virtual reality, HDR and H.265.
The highlight goes to the possibility of videos in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), known H.265, which was introduced by Apple in macOS High Sierra and iOS 11. Users can with this format create videos in 4K or 8K with half the size of the H.264 codec while maintaining image quality.
