How To Super Scale Your HD Videos to 4K (and Above) in Davinci Resolve

Показать описание

How's my clickbait thumbnail? Haha! No other way to demonstrate this technique with such a small image!

Let's hope that you can actually see what the super scale is doing on Youtube. It's very subtle, but it's a massive help when you want to add that boost in sharpness to your image, or to match with other cameras. I use super scale a lot in my work, as I mainly work with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K and the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, which shoot in 2.5K and 1080p respectively.

What you'll also find in the world of UHD blu ray, is that many films (especially films that are a few years old) have actually been upscaled to 4K from sub-4K resolutions. I have no technical insider knowledge as to how this is done exactly, but I'd imagine it's a similar function to the Resolve super scale.

Overall it's a great way to boost footage from lower resolution and older cameras and works much better than a simple export and upscale to 4K.

I also recommend looking into Gigapixel video upscaling.

This was so good, thank you for this and yes everyone should definitely buy the toturail for his grading. Best spent money ever.

Make a long-term review of awesome BMMCC!
What the benefits, what the cons and how u shoot (what settings, exposure) and how u rig it up!

Am still trying to figure out the difference between upscaled and superscaled!!!!

Watching this on my 70” 4K TV this looks amazing. I’m actually really impressed, especially with the old camera super scaling

Unfortunately, when you try to do this in the non-Studio (free) you get a overlay that says "DaVinci Resolve Studio". While it is unfortunate that we cannot use this feature with the basic version, I can understand Black Magic reserving it for their paying customers. As I use resolve more and learn more of what it can do for me, I am seriously thinking of upgrading the the Studio version. The Superscaling feature is one more reason for me to want too.

Thanks for the tutorial.

I might be wrong but surely 2x super scale doesn’t scale 1080p to 4K? 4K is 4x bigger than 1080p and 8K 4x bigger once more.

Great video. 1080p is actually Full HD. What about 1280x 720 HD super scale to 1080p or 4K?

I've watched four different trainings on this feature and so far you are the ONLY one to get the math correct on upscaling 1080p and which "x" multiplier to use for 4k, 6k, and 8k. Just wanted to say nice work for actually getting those numbers correct and not confusing me further ^_^

Edit: Also, beautiful footage and music selection :)

Hi, how would I go about upscaling 640x480 SD footage to HD? Would it be 1280x960 with Super scale of 4x?

A few questions:
1. What do you mean by 'upscaled to 4k' when you compare that to superscaled? What kind of upscaling? How is this done?
2. Is that really just superscaled grain with the girl on the phone? It looks super noisy on her face...Is this just what very sharp grain looks like (it seems to move around, like noise...) or is it noise created by upscaling film-grainy footage?

3. How are you adding grain in the clip of the girl in the hat?
4. Is the railway shot of Teignmouth/Bishopsteignton in Devon? It looks super familiar!
