[SOLVED] 8K video only processing up to 4K on YouTube

[i need help with pc]

Don't really know what category this question is, forgive me
I uploaded an 8K video with HEVC codec to youtube, only for the video to have a maximum quality option of 4K, and not 8K like the original file... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Specs: https://kit.co/zenith360/setup

The video was created with ffmpeg and edited with shotcut

ffmpeg settings:

codec: hevc_nvenc
args main: -pix_fmt rgb0
bitrate: 80 MBPS
args vf: colorspace=all=bt709:iall=bt470bg:fast=1
args audio: -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

How was the 8K video created?

Youtube checks the maximum quality provided by your device or browser and that's the best that you can get. So unless your device or browser is 8k capable you won't see an option for 8k.

ok so I just realized it actually does upload in 8K, it just says "up to 4K." oops
