Canon Announces Adobe Premiere Pro And
Final Cut Pro X Will Now Support H.265/XFHEVC
Recording For The XF705 4K
Professional Camcorder
Adobe Update Also Includes Compatibility for Canon
EOS C500 Mark II Cinema RAW Light Files
MELVILLE, NY, November 6, 2019 – Stepping up to meet the latest needs of
end-users, Canon U.S.A., Inc. a leader in digital imaging solutions, is thrilled to
announce that the new version of Adobe® Premiere® Pro and the current version
of Final Cut Pro (version 10.4.7) include support for the H.265/XF-HEVC
recording format of Canon’s award-winning XF705 4K professional camcorder.
The new format brings improvements over the previous H.264 standard, such as
improved file compression and bit-rate reduction.
“Software updates like these from Apple and Adobe for the Canon XF705 are
critical for working professionals who come to expect and require the very best
from their Canon equipment,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating
officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Canon is excited to continue working with companies
like Apple and Adobe to ensure that the updates needed to meet the needs of
our end-users are available.”
XF-HEVC, sometimes referred to as MPEG-H Part 2 or ITU-T H.265 is the latest
video coding standard presented by the ITU-T Coding Experts Group and the
ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group organizations. The new format
incorporates many improvements over H.264/MPEG-4 AVC including the ability
to allow for significantly improved file compression performance relative to the
existing standards. Users can experience up to a 50 percent bit-rate reduction
over the prior format with equivalent image quality.
The new release of Premiere Pro also provides support for Canon’s newly
announced EOS C500 Mark II cinema camera. The new camera can record in
Canon’s proprietary Cinema RAW Light format, which provides the benefits of
RAW recording in a more compact file size. The Canon RAW Plugin for Final Cut
Pro will be updated in December to enable support for Canon Cinema RAW Light
files from the EOS C500 Mark II cinema camera.
Final Cut Pro version 10.4.7 is currently available from the Mac App Store and
the latest Adobe Premiere Pro release will be available in early November 2019.
