I have a video file that is a 4K upscale of a 1080p video in VP9 (upscaled to 4K to force Youtube to use higher bitrate for the video).
I want to downscale the 4K video file to 1080p while (effectively) losing no data, ie not forcing re-compression of the finished product.
I'm not familiar with VP9 so I'm not sure if this even makes sense in the context of how the codec works, but any advice is helpful.
A note, if it would result in a file size reduction even if slight then that would be ideal.
