When you upload a clip over 4K, is it available at the uploaded resolution, 4k and HD (3 resolutions)?

No, it's at the UHD size and some weird 1080 size.
2048X1080 which I wonder if anyone is turned off by that.

like this one.

6K clip

2048x1080 is 2K resolution. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone who wants standard HD, since I doubt many people even notice this information. Buyers just know if they don't want 4K to download the "other" one.

Agencies (now) favor the vertical resolution when downsizing, which is the proper way to go. Remember Adobe Stock favoring the horizontal resolution when downsizing a non-16:9 high resolution video? It ended up with some odd resolution like 1920x1018, which IS a problem.

But I suppose if you wanted to ALSO include a standard 4K file from a 5- or 6K clip, you could upload a separate 3840x2160 file and ask Pond5 to merge them onto one details page with the other resolutions.

But in that neat 6K timelapse example, 1617x1080 probably could be a problem. So, I suppose if you're really concerned about non-standard resolutions, you probably should master your clips at least in a 16:9 or 17:9 aspect ratio to guarantee a somewhat standard HD down-rezzed file.

But if the clip you have is exactly what someone is looking for, they'll download your file regardless of the frame rate, resolution, codec, etc.
