Detail Preserving Upscale In After Effects CC
Brie Hoffler
The Detail-preserving Upscale effect is capable of scaling up images by large amounts while preserving details in the image. The sharpness of sharp lines and curves is preserved. For example, you can scale up from SD frame sizes to HD frame sizes, or from HD frame sizes to digital cinema frame sizes.
Transferring that shot into AE and using detail preserving upscale may help a bit but the upper limit is probably about 150% and it doesn't do very well when there is very little detail to work with in the first place.
Hello! I am having a unexpected issue: my detail-preserving upscale is not making any difference whatsoever. It enlarges the picture (720p to 4K in my case), but the quality is the exact same if I just moved scale to 300%. Any ideas of what is happening? Is this a known bug? Thank you!
I am editing some old 720p DV footage and want to upscale to 1080p in Premiere. I really liked the results I am getting using detail preserving upscale in After Effects, but the preview rendering process is ridiculously slow (2-3 hours for a 3 minute clip). I also noticed that if I apply effects to the video (color correction and noise reduction with Neat Video) BEFORE I use detail preserving upscale, I will lose these effects.
My question is, what is the correct time to apply detail preserving upscale to a clip? Should this be the first step before any effects are applied? My CPU renders the clips fine on basic things like color correction, but once I start applying effects AFTER detail preserving upscale is applied the process gets really long. Ideally I would like to apply all effects first and upscale at the end to make the workflow faster. Any workflow suggestions are appreciated.
In this tutorial, you'll learn the best way to upscale your footage from HD 1080 to 4K resolution from Premiere Pro, with a quick round-trip to After Effects make use of the powerful Detail-preserving Upscale tool.
Check out the difference in results below. The left image is a simple stretch, no upscaling applied. On the right side, the detail is noticeable in the rock and background areas. This approach really improves the footage when you upscale.
Our method will use Detail-preserving Upscale in After Effects to increase the size up image in a smart way. Essentially, this interpolation technique preserves detail better than stretching the pixels.
There are a bunch of motivations to upscale a video. Content creators might have the impulse to resize 1080p to 4K before uploading it to YouTube, in an attempt to make it look better after mandatory compression by the platform. Or, you have shot multiple clips with different resolution, and want to merge them into one video without black bars or cropped frames.
Premiere Pro includes a simple algorithm to do this guess work. If you want to maximize details, it's better to use plug-ins or "details preserving upscale" effect in After Effects via dynamic link. Or you can rely on another lightweight video scaler that adopts motion adaptive pixel scaling algorithm that estimate finer resolution data and generate new pixels automatically.

Though there is no "Detail-preserving Upscale" effect in Premiere like Adobe's other software such as After Effects and Photoshop, you can upscale a video in Premiere Pro with the help of dynamic link, which opens up After Effects from Premiere timeline and readily resize your video. Then you can head back to Premiere for further editing tasks. But this upscaling method is hardware demanding as it utilizes Premiere and After Effects simultaneously. For those of you with a high-spec desktop, follow these steps:
This tutorial discusses how to upscale video in Premiere Pro. We covered three ways and a bonus to upscale 1080p to 4k in premiere pro: set to frame size, detail preserving upscale (Premiere +After Effects), manual dialing up the scale percentage in effect control, and intelligent scaling algorithm that maximize artifact-free details with a simple click in VideoProc Converter AI. Besides resizing videos, it is also a powerful video editing tool which supports Intel QSV, NVIDIA CUDA/NVENC, and Apple Metal hardware acceleration to process high quality videos at speed 47X faster than real-time play.
In this tutorial, I talk all about the new Detail-preserving Upscale effect found in the v12.1 update of After Effects CC. With the release of CC, Adobe promised more frequent updates and this is a perfect example. Detail-preserving Upscale is a way to scale footage and keep detail using some special magic borrowed from Photoshop. I'll show you how it works giving some before and after examples as well as compare it to more traditional ways of scaling.
Understanding the mechanics of video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro can be daunting for beginners. With terms like 'interpolation', 'upscaling' and 'canvas', it may seem overwhelming. However, we'll simplify this complex process into a detailed step-by-step guide. In our case, we'll discuss how to upscale footage from 1920x1080 to 4K in Adobe Premiere Pro using After Effects.
To start, launch Adobe Premiere Pro and create a new project. When creating a new project, you'll need to specify the project settings, which includes the format (in our case, 4K). Import the footage you want to upscale by navigating to 'File', then 'Import', and select the desired clips. Add these clips to your timeline by dragging and dropping them in the sequence you prefer. If your footage is in 1080p, it will appear with black borders when placed on a 4K canvas.

On the After Effects canvas, it's time to add the upscaling effect. Navigate to the 'Effects & Presets' panel and type in 'Detail-preserving Upscale' in the search bar. Double-click on this effect to apply it to your active clip. The next steps will be handled in the 'Effect Controls' panel. Here, you'll find an option called 'Fit to Comp Width'. Clicking this will automatically scale your footage to match the width of the canvas. You can also adjust the 'Detail' setting to improve the appearance of your upscaled footage.
