HEVC and iPad Air 2 compatibility

I have a iPad Air 2 and would like to shoot my video in HEVC. I was wondering if I could shoot in HEVC on iPhone x and then edit that same video in iMovie or the GoPro app on my iPad Air 2?

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Hi. I don't think so. Decoding HEVC requires an A9 processor, and your Air 2 has only A8X. You'd need a Pro, or the new iPad 5 to do this. See this link: http://www.redmondpie.com/hevc-and-heif-device-compatibility-in-ios-11-macos-hig h-sierra/.
