What is 4K?
Also called: UHD, 2160p
Definition
4K is a video resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels, four times the pixels of 1080p.
For screen recordings, 4K keeps small interface text sharp and leaves room to zoom in without softness. It needs a 4K display to capture, a higher bitrate to store and more work to encode.
In Sceed
Sceed exports up to 4K at 60 frames a second, on the free plan as well as Pro.
