jnorman34 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Compiling a short documentary of architectural subject matter. most of it has been shot in 4K with the GH4, but I want to use a couple of short clips that were shot in 1080p with a D5300. is there any problem in upscaling the 1080 footage when I render the video to a 4k output? anything special I should do, or watch out for in the process? thanks.

Darktide Media Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just watch it, I have found up-scaling from a good HD video looks fine when inter-cut the right ways. I just use RedGaint Instant HD to do my up-scaling if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Upscaling is easier than downscaling, as far as aliasing is concerned, because edges are filled with interpolated pixels and are not prone to 'invent' new patterns. It's only the perceived sharpness that may suffer. Good upscaling software therefore adds an appropriate amount of sharpening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
