Step-by-step

Select the video clip in the timeline
Set the upscale factor (e.g., 2x to reach 8K resolution)
Open the codec settings
Change the encoder from H.264 to H.265
Click render to process the video

Watch out for

H.264 codec has a maximum resolution limit of 4K and will trigger an error if used for 8K exports.
