Most video-shooting are at 4K whose bitrate is larger compared to recordings of 480P, 720P or 1080P. In terms of compression efficiency, HEVC is better compared to H.264. It saves space and reduces bandwidth pressure during data transfer. It is for these reasons that compression of 4K videos is preferably in the HEVC video codec.
