So I'm doing some 8K export tests for Bright Eyes in the Thunderclouds. Seems like the export will take seven hours in total. All the sequences were mastered at 4K, but going with 8K might help with the export bitrate. I'm mostly unsure how Premiere will handle the upscaling.

The rain in some of the scenes is pretty intense, I'm not entirely sure how the YouTube compression will handle it, so to play safe I'd rather have a really high bitrate option.
