# encode-hevc.sh
# Encodes videos to HEVC MOV using ffmpeg and x265
# Copies as much original metadata and applies specified new metadata
# Copies created and modified dates to the new file
#
# x265 encoder uses CRF=23 with medium preset unless overridden
# Audio is encoded with FDK AAC using default settings
#
# Videos with ↻ or ↺ in their MacOS Finder tags will be rotated in the 
# appropriate direction
#
# Options and metadata

#   START
