Strange if I go direct to youtube max it will show is 4k. Like I said if I use the youtube link on facebook it will offer it at 5k
Cambridge Analytical obs know you have a big tele box 
If you have a Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, have a 8k resolution would it not up scale it to 8k as well ?
Dji said its youtubes fault lol
What did YouTube say ?

Didn’t even bother asking youtube
If honest gave up on it
well finally found out who was at fault ie uploading a 5.1k video yet it only max at 4k on youtube.
it wasnt dji fault nor was it youtubes fault, the guilty sods are Power director…
I have a dji mavic 3 when i record in 5.1K and then edit it with power director the software limits it to 4k only, which defeats the object!!! but the sad thing about it i posted the exact same video with audio using power director and it showed up as 5.1k this was may 2022. After That power director limited there software to a max of 4k only, they didnt make it public still havent.
so i wont be renewing my (power director) once it runs out this year.
i will post a link to the 1st video i did back in may 2022 using power director.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5thry6lYX7c
and the 2nd link is same video but not edited with power Director,
and i just uploaded it today 30.08.2022 which uploaded to youtube and can be viewed in 5.1k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zU3oiWqj9c
it at present can only be viewed at 5.1k with a tv or monitor that can cope with 5.1k or higher.
just in case you forgot why i did all this is i have a 8k tv and wanted to view the dji mavic 3 at 5.1k on it…
just got a reply from power director not happy with it.
Hi John,
Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.
We understand that the concern is related to your previous query referring to trying to render/produce in 5.1K with PowerDirector 365. We are more than willing to assist you.
With reference to your query, please be advised that after our further checking with engineering team, per current program design, since the first version of PowerDirector 365 v20 that released in 2021 Sept. and the newer versions that released later in 2022 Spring and Summer, the highest video production resolution that PowerDirector supports is 4K (and the 4K variant resolution up to 4096 x 3072 pixels, which is in different video aspect ratios).
We are afraid that the PowerDirector 365 indeed does NOT support producing videos in 5K resolution no matter with the versions released previously or each new version that released within 2022 later so far.
For the concern of supporting the 5K video production, as what we’ve mentioned previously, we’ve escalated the suggestion to our product team as feature development reference.
We highly appreciate your feedback.
Please feel free to contact us back for further clarification or assistance related to CyberLink products. Use the link below to get back to us:

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply.
With regard to your concern, as aforementioned, per current program design, since the first version of PowerDirector 365 v20 that released in 2021 Sept. and the newer versions that released later in 2022 Spring and Summer, the highest video production resolution that PowerDirector supports is 4K (and the 4K variant resolution up to 4096 x 3072 pixels, which is in different video aspect ratios).
We really appreciate that you provide the YouTube link to help us clarify your concern, per our checking, the uploaded video shows 5462 x 3072 (5K) resolution on YouTube, and the video is edited and titles, audio added. However, after consulting with our engineering team, we are afraid that the PowerDirector 365 indeed does NOT support producing videos in 5462 x 3072 resolution no matter with the versions released previously or each new version that released within 2022 later so far.
During the video uploading process, YouTube would transcode the video automatically. If you still have the concern about the video resolution on YouTube, as we are not the developer of the 3rd party social platform YouTube, we are not able the find out or investigate why the 5K option is available. We suggest you to consult with the YouTube support to have further clarification.
YouTube Support
For your concern and better user experience, we have re-escalated the suggestion to our product team to raise the suggestion volume to support the 5K video rendering feature in PowerDirector.
We really appreciate your feedback.
Have you got the file on your hard disk (SSD, NAS, whatever) that Power Director made at 5.1K resolution, that you went in to upload to YouTube ?
