I don't think they're rendering 8K video to youtube. They're probably just using 8K raw footage for editing, and then outputting the final version as 4K.

- sp332 10y agoIn fact they edit most of the video in 1080p because it's easier and faster. Then they upscale to 4k when they send it to YouTube because the extra bandwidth they get for the 4k stream makes a noticeable difference. They keep close-ups and B-roll in 4k because it's easier to edit anyways, and it looks really nice.
- bitL 10y agoFor editing you usually use proxy low-res versions of your 4k/8k/16k content to get optimal speed and then just do the final rendering at your result resolution.
- penagwin 10y agoI don't really remember but I think that they had a video where they talked about it. I think one of the conclusions was that youtube's own compression loses a lot of the quality improvements, and as it can be more difficult in general to work with/encode they do a lot in 1080p
