Quoth Mark:

When people tell me it’s “Just for YouTube”, what I hear is: “It’s just to put on the largest video platform in the world, with several billion users and viewers – it’s not like we’re showing it anywhere important that needs tech standards and some sense of aesthetic quality”.

The reason I’m shooting 4K is that I don’t know where I’ll want the shot centered on a moment by moment basis. The GoPros are shooting a classroom full of students, and I want to be able to focus on individuals and small groups of students, depending on activity.

I’m not actually zooming INTO the 4K footage, just selecting or panning across the 4K image in a 720 frame, keeping the 4K at it’s native resolution. If I do any zooming at all, I just scale the 4K down a bit to include more of the 4K image in the 720 frame, so that’s not what’s going on with the pixelation. It may indeed be a field dominance issue in there somewhere, but I’m not sure.
