I upload a YouTube video in 4K for example. Resolution is either 3840x2160 or 4096x3112. Then after a while, even a day or two, the highest resolution available is just "1080p60"
I tested two kinds of videos, 1 is shot in 4K using Samsung Galaxy S6 and rendered using Final Cut pro using 4K settings at highest (4096x3112). Second is a regular video, 1080p but rendered in 4K. Sometimes it works but sometimes it wont. What gives?
