Adding to Ann's reply, since you are upscaling, go to the highest possible

if you will be scaling up later in premiere pro, like doing zoom in effects etc...

so for example if your final output is 4K, upscale to 8K before importing

to a 4K sequence in premiere pro.

Keyframe position or anchor point and scale. Best done with the Transform effect.

Upscaling 4K to 8K in Premiere is not a very good idea.

You will lose image quality.

You could try After Effects The Detail-preserving Upscale effect
