Thank you for your valuable response.
In the mean time I purchased Compressor and did some testing. Encoding speed of Compressor is indeed about the same as in FCPX. As you also indicated there is much more flexibility in encoding options. An interesting option is to use multiple machines which I will explore in the near future.

I found out that QuickTime Player can export H265. A ProRes 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 clip (489 Mbps) will be exported as 4K 10-bit H265 (15 Mbps) by QuickTime Player. However, the chroma subsampling went down to 4:2:0. No problem playing this clip on my LG TV.
What about the chroma subsampling when encoding 4K 10-bit HEVC with Compressor?

@Gary and Jeff:
Thanks for your response. My LG TV supports HEVC. As you indicated there is no hardware 10-bit encoding for HEVC like Quick Sync for 8-bit H264. Therefore, HEVC export takes much more calculation time than H264. I read on the internet that from an image quality point of view, there’s no real difference between H.264 and HEVC.Nevertheless it is good to hear that it is possible and I will certainly give it a try.
