I use this ffmpeg function to record an area of my screen for upload to youtube.
function req()
{
ffmpeg -an -f "x11grab" -framerate "120" -video_size "2594"x"1458" -i :0.0+5,+257 -c:v "libx264" -crf "16" -bf "2" -flags "+cgop" -movflags "faststart" -pix_fmt "yuv420p" -preset "ultrafast" "$1".mkv
}
I get the output video and directly upload it to youtube, it processes and I have access to 1440p resolution.
The problem is the video needs some editing, mainly removing some junk clips at the beginning and the end.
After I edit the video in blender vse and upload it to youtube, the highest resolution is 1080p.
I've even tried to export it at h.264 lossless but I still have the video only exported as 1080p.
here's the raw video uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NzSlo3knbk going through blender vse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYUTu6UV5ug
This is probably user error but why can't I get 1440p again after exporting the video from blender vse?
