  UP Rez

  Posted by Eric Merklein on March 18, 2016 at 7:55 pm

  I don’t think there is a fix to this: We have video files MP4 that were created at frame size 1280×720.

  A year later the client wants video files at 1920×1080. Yes crazy.

  Without going back to the original project and source material and re-exporting, is there a way to up-rez and not have the black bar on left and right of screen?

  I’m hoping there is a magical setting that I don’t know about, so we won’t have to re-do 60 8 minute video pieces.

  Thanks much

  Many thanks.

  Both are square pixel 16:9 aspect ratio, so 720p should scale directly to full screen 1080.

  It will not look as sharp, of course.

  System:
  Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
  Win 7 64-bit
  32GB RAM
  Adobe CC 2014 (as of 7/2015)
  256GB SSD system drive
  4 internal media drives RAID 5
  Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.

  Hello Jon.

  Thanks for sparking my brain. If I bring the video file into my timeline and CHANGE THE SETTING TO THE ORIGINAL FILE SIZE, then export at 1080, all is well.

  If I keep the original project setting when bringing the video file into my timeline, that’s when the bar shows up.

  Now I can sleep.

  Many thanks.

  Hello Kuljeet.

  I will try your suggestion tomorrow. Does preserve upscale help clean up the video quality?

  Thanks for your help on this one.
