MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 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. For
