How do I export HEVC from Final Cut Pro X? Gone after update.
In the past I've been able to export to a "Vimeo" share destination in FCPX. This worked great. It let me set the frame size and codec, ie h264 or h265.
That destination and codec option seems to have disappeared in Final Cut Pro X 10.15.
I don't like exporting for Vimeo via Compressor because in the past, I've had problems. The Compressor output was turning all my Flow edits into hard cuts a few months ago.
But now it seems like Compressor is the only way to get an h265 / HEVC export going. It was a lifesaver before because my Vimeo account has an upload limit and I'm always pushing it.
So, I'm trying this latest version of Compressor to do an export because FCPX seems to have taken away HEVC as a codec option.
I know, I know, I should output ProRes masters and then use that to convert to h265 in Compressor. But it used to work fine until a few months ago. And that's another step I have to babysit.
