Is generating video in 4K worth it over 1080p?

Without Higgsfield: Yes: Adil's verdict is that Seedance 2.0 in 4K is 100% worth it for any style from hyper-real films to anime, and Egor Kuzmin's Seedance 2.0 4K stadium footage went to the stadium screens without upscaling. Faces, lip-sync, fine detail, distant detail and huge crowds hold in Seedance 2.0 4K where they warp or fall apart at 1080p, and text renders much sharper.

Axis: native 4K is worth it … 1080p then upscale
