the produced UHD video is really bad
I'm not sure how you arrived at that unhappy space! In no way was I suggesting it as an ideal set of steps to follow, but it yielded very acceptable results here.
What I did, because I don't have an NX1 let alone a series of NX1 timelapse shots, was to use a groupd of sample photos from the NX1 arranged on the timeline like a fast moving slideshow. Then I followed the steps described above.
On the 4K monitor & UHD TV, both "8K" & 4K (complete with pan and zoom) versions look crisp & clean. It's true that the image quality of the original photos is superior, but we knew it would be a compromise producing in 4K.
As a side note, when people shoot time lapse sequences like
*Yosemite II* the panning and zooming is not done "in post", so each photo is inserted at full resolution. The panning is the result of quite a bit of fancy equipment and methodical shooting! There's lots of information about the whole Yosemite project, including "the making of".
Am I correct in assuming that you used Video Crop & Zoom? That's what I did, but was careful not to use any less than about 40% of the screen. i.e. nowhere close to "UHD"
