Author a project at 4K
If the project should use a 4K canvas from the start:What gets sharper
For a fully sharp 4K result, use 4K source media and size canvas/WebGL buffers for the target resolution.
Constraints
--resolution only works when:
- the preset has the same aspect ratio as the composition;
- the target is an integer multiple of the authored dimensions;
- the target is not smaller than the composition;
- the output is MP4 rather than an alpha format;
- HDR is not forced for the same render.

4K captures four times as many pixels as 1080p, so expect more render time, memory use, and output data. Start with --quality draft for review, then render the approved version at the quality you need.
