As you see, there are more and more cameras like Panasonic GH4, Blackmagic, Sony FDR-AX100, etc can shoot 4K video. While, 1080p High Definition format has not yet been covered wholly- the majority of playback, editing work is still being finished in 1080p.

A: First edit the project in 4K then render it in 1080p.
