Thanks! The main reason for uploading the 8K is so that RUclips will encode an AV1 stream (for 4K as well as 8K). On a tiny channel like mine, that's the only time I'll get an AV1 encode. The quality of the AV1 stream over the VP9 stream is really quite astounding. Also, the original footage was captured in 8,256 x 5,504 (45MP sensor), so may as well keep the resolution.
Gorgeous even at 4K!
