For some reason, `HEVC` video with Codec ID `hev1` is not supported by Final Cut Pro according this [thread](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253596557) on Apple's support forum.

Luckily, I can use [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) to convert video with `hev1` tag to `hvc1` losslessly:

```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -tag:v hvc1 output.mp4
```
