HEVC is an emerging video codec that promises higher quality video at lower bitrates. Files size are up to 50% smaller then it’s h.264 predecessor, which has major implications as 4k televisions become more commonplace.
We offer workflow integration support for HEVC through both our UI and API. A screen shot of the UI is below. Simply select MP4 as your output format, and in the custom setting you will see HEVC as an option under the Video Codecs drop down menu.
The screen shot below shows these features in the UI.
Automating your HEVC encoding is also available through our API.
