Shooting 4K video is guaranteed to eat up your iPhone storage space in no time. MacX Video Converter Pro helps solve your storage headaches by letting you compress large-size videos, fast. But the app is more than that: you can also transform any unsupported video files to iOS-friendly formats that will work perfectly on all your Apple devices.
Ahead of releasing its new iMac Pro, Apple earlier this morning pushed a long-expected update to its Final Cut Pro X app on Mac App Store.
VLC, the popular cross-platform media player, was updated on App Store this morning with support for the native OLED display resolution on iPhone X and the ability to play 4K video encoded in the High Efficiency Video Coding standard (the H.265 codec).
Vimeo today announced it's rolling out support for high dynamic range video (HDR), playable on compatible devices like the new iPhone X, iPad Pro and Apple TV 4K.
A popular automation tool for iPhone and iPad, Workflow, was updated on App Store this morning with several new iOS 11 and iPhone X features.
