Once you have the output file done. Just right-click the file, go in properties and tell me what the detailed information says in resolution. Also as a note, remember youtube can take up to 4 hours before will be rendered to 4-5K. Depend on how busy our are youtube servers.

Alright, i test again. Now i got it 5K video quality in YouTube

This time i change from H.265 to H.264 and resolution size remain the same which is 5,120 (W) x 2,880 (H)

Hi guys,

Previously i own DJI Mini 2 and uploaded 4K video in YouTube multiple times without having any issue.

Recently i upgraded to DJI Air 2s and having issue upload 5K video in YouTube.

In my drone i already set as 5.4K when i flying and for recording. When export video in Adobe Premiere Pro I already set the format as HEVC (H.265) also video format as 5,120 (W) x 2,880 (H). When i uploaded in YouTube the quality highest is only show 1080p. I not able to select 2880 or even 2160 quality in YouTube.

As i understand YouTube need time to process it into 4K and highest quality but my video is only 41 seconds and already more than 1 day after i uploaded. So i don't think is the processing time issue.

Can someone kindly enlighten me how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot.

There is a Codec war going on between Apple and Google. H.264= max 1080p.

Why does Safari not enable YouTube 4K by … - Apple Community

I do my video editing on a Mac mini and the codec FCP X uses is h.264, but youtube(google) does no longer support this codec for 4K, but vp9. See the video:
