such use.

I have the free experimental service for POV-Ray rendering:
https://povlab.online
powered with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz (40 cores).
Present UI does not allow to render animations, but if you will send
me a scene, ini and script I can render a few frames and we will have
estimation time for the whole movie, at least.

Look here:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
I have some experience of uploading videos, having this channel:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_L-Rlt-OWoJm6HN9t-hxXRk-b6SONXbJ
Are you sure that you really want 4K ? Not so many people now have real
4K equipment and network for accepting it smoothly, may be 1440p (2K)
will be optimal ?

This is great! Thank you for providing this service. I understand we are
initiating a conversation, nothing is agreed so far. Attached is a tar.gz file.
See the included README file. My code is for Linux. Some surgery may be required
for Windows. You might also have to edit your povray.conf file so that my
post-frame command will work. There is a recent thread in this newsgroup about
that.
Yes, I suppose not many people have a 4K monitor. I don't. But that's a feature
of YouTube right? I upload a 3840x2160 video and they generate lower resolution
options such as 2560x1440 and 1920x1080, all with the same 16:9 aspect ratio. Am
I correct?

Welcome :).
I've just started the rendering (yes, server under Ubuntu) and it
see how black frames are filling <...>\frames4K\animated directory with
speed about ~100 frames per 6 minutes.
Are you animating "Black square" of Kazimir Malevich? :)

Yes, absolutely, but you can save a rendering time if will prepare 1440p
only.

The first 420 frames are static, to be replaced by a file exported from
Inkscape. Then there are 180 static frames which POVray needs to generate only
once.
Then come 9300 animated frames.
Finally the last 780 frames are static, which POVray generates only once.
So it may be challenging to make an accurate estimate how long it will all take.

Tricky, but you can check first 456 frames just for control here:
