'I have to convert one of my HEVC/H.265 movies into compatible format prores for FCP X on Mac, I need to use some content of the HEVC/H.265 in Final Cut Pro. Can you tell me which software can help me to convert HEVC/H.265 to prores? Any suggestion will be appreciated.'

x265 is a free softwarelibrary and application for encoding video streams into the H.265/MPEG-H HEVC compression format. HEVC stands for high-efficiency videocoding. Also known as H.265, this new video codec will compress video files to half the size possible using the most-efficient current encoding format, MPEG-4, aka H.264 (used on Blu-ray discs and some satellite TV broadcasts).

ProRes is a line of intermediate codecs, which means they are intended for use during video editing, and not for practical end-user viewing. Apple ProRes 422 is a common video encoding format used for broadcast. This codec offers nearly all the benefits of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), but at 66 percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance.

Tip: By clicking the Settings icon, you can adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc., in that way, you can take charge of the size and quality of the output files. In principle, the larger input values, the better output quality, but the corresponding larger file size.

Step 3. Start converting H.265/HEVC to ProRes

At this point, you can change the output filename or output path if you wish. If you feel satisfied with your options, Just hit the Convert button to activate H.265/HEVC file to ProRes conversion.
