Hmmm …
That seems to work …
I’ve subscribed to Apple’s Creator Studio, just recently: and found out that I could use a mix of Final Cut Pro, and Compressor, to make 8k video.
So … ?
I used the stock footage I keep for the quiz videos to make a dummy 8k video I could share via YouTube.
The results told me a few things.
Firstly?
When I upload an 8k video to the site, YouTube reduces the resolution to 4k.
The copy I’ve just downloaded?
Is some forty megabytes: compared to the approximately two gigabytes I uploaded.
I’m assuming the reductions are made, to allow YouTube to keep storage space and bandwidth — and thus costs — to a minimum.
Secondly?
It took ten minutes to render some three minutes of 8k footage.
I’d say that’s acceptable: but know longer videos will take longer to render.
I’m also aware the process had my machine running extremely hot to the touch: something I’m aware would happen, given my machine’s specs.
It’s got an M4 processor, and sixteen gigabytes of RAM, so you know.
The suggested, minimum, RAM is exactly that: sixteen gigabytes,
But the recommended minimum is thirty-two.
I can only tell you this, as a result.
Recording, and rendering, in 8k is something I’d love to do.
But would need machinery, and money, I don’t have.
That’s a shame: but that’s life.
