DaVinci Resolve: Upscale low-resolution footage with Super Scale
DaVinci ResolveDemo summary
The presenter demonstrates upscaling a 640x480 video to 4K using the Super Scale AI settings to improve sharpness and reduce noise.
Step-by-step
- Select the low-resolution clip in the timeline.
- Navigate to the Video tab in the Inspector.
- Scroll down to the Super Scale section and enable it.
- Select a scaling multiplier from the dropdown menu.
- Adjust the Sharpness and Noise Reduction sliders to refine the image.
- Enable Stabilization and click Stabilize to remove camera shake from the upscaled footage.
Options
- Choose between 2x Enhanced, 3x, or 4x scaling modes
- Adjust Sharpness levels (e.g., Low)
- Apply Noise Reduction
Watch out for
- Higher scaling multipliers (like 4x) require more processing power.
Tips
- The 'power band' of this feature is most effective when upscaling 720p or 1080p footage to 4K.
- Use stabilization after upscaling to further improve the final look of old, shaky footage.
