I'm doing RC-related review videos, where I either have the camera above my bench (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPR5fTYTbS4) or mounted to my head (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_8qi3thH0). I'm currently using a cheap 1080p camera for this. Specially for the later type of videos (cam mounted to my head) I'd sometimes like to have the possibility to zoom into the footage, without getting lower than 1080p quality. I can obviously not use a camera with an optical zoom for these types of videos.
I've been thinking of getting a 2k or 4k camera for this purpose. I can then record the video in 2k or 4k, but would still produce the video in 1080p. This should theoretically allow me to "zoom into" the 2k/4k footage without quality loss as long as I don't go further than the 1080p resoluteion.
Is this something which is supported by power director and easily possible? If yes, can someone tell me how I would achieve this?
Many thanks and all the best,
Michael
