Encode H.264 MP4 to H.265/HEVC MP4 on Mac Yosemite/Mavericks


If you want to get started to convert H.264 MP4 to H.265 MP4 on Mac Yosemite/Mavericks but don't have any idea about where to begin, we are here to help you. Just read further to know what things you can do to successfully transcode H.264 MP4 to H.265 MP4 format.



H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) is a standard for video compression. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards (e.g. half or less the bit rate of MPEG-2, H.263, or MPEG-4 Part 2), without increasing the complexity of design so much that it would be impractical or excessively expensive to implement.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or also called H.265 is a new video codec that compresses video files to 50% with the most proficient encoding format today, MPEG-4, or also known as the H.264. That will be 1/4 the size of a file compressed with MPEG 2 codec which many of cable television companies are still using. More significantly, H.265 is being used to compress video files that have 4K resolution — and conceivably even 8K resolution files sooner or later — therefore it could be resourcefully delivered.

A lot of people want to encode H.264 MP4 to H.265 MP4 since it's the best format for video experience. In order to convert H.264 MP4 to H.265 MP4, you will need to have a reliable video converter to do the job. Overall, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is considered to be the best choice for you. With the recent upgraded version 4.8.5.1, it can encode/decode H.265/HEVC videos so nicely. If you are running on Windows, you can refer to the equivalent version Pavtube Video Converter.

Searching online, we find a general tutorial of moving FCP projects to Premiere Pro CC/CS6—XML.You can import entire projects, selected clips, or selected sequences that you export from Final Cut Pro as XML files. In Premiere Pro, bins and clips have the same hierarchies and names that they have in the Final Cut Pro source projects. Also, Premiere Pro retains the sequence markers, sequence settings, track layout, locked tracks, and sequence timecode start points of Final Cut Pro source projects. Premiere Pro imports text from the Final Cut Pro Text generators into Premiere Pro titles.

It’s worthy mentioning that you cannot import native Final Cut Pro project files, only XML files exported from Final Cut Pro. You can export Final Cut Pro XML files from Premiere Pro. The effects that are trAanslated from Premiere Pro are the same as those that are imported from a Final Cut Pro XML file. However, the least of perfection is complex operation. Are there any easier steps instead of complex workflow?
