With my own settings…yes. I do that quite a bit.

Nothing new on this process.
Some points are unnecessary, like when chosing Pixels aspect.
When upscaling to 1920×1080, you can chose Square, but you can also check “Default for size” (1920×1080 is always squared), or even you can chose nothing. The movie will always be displayed as squared pixels, unless other thing is specified.

…and does it really improve the quality?

[Alexander Kallas] “..and does it really improve the quality?”
The only thing can improve the quality in that workflow, is using the best upscaling filter in Compressor, which is better than the default FC filter.

Interesting thread.
I don’t have anything to add technically, just noting that the Larry Jordan article and the original question seem to address some issues that I have been trying to solve. And so far, I think my questions have just made me come across like a nutcase trying to do something impossible.

Does this technique with Compressor need to be done with the entire source file, or can it be done simply with a segment in an FCP timeline?

This technique is done to QT files. And if you only want part of that QT file done, you can set IN and OUT points in Compressor.
And no, this won’t improve the quality of the footage, it will just blow up SD to HD and make it look….less bad.

Thanks.
That’s all I’ve wanted. I know I can’t turn SD into something originally shot HD. I just want to do everything in my power to get the quality as high (less crappy) as possible.

Thanks for the recommendation.
From what I have been able to turn up, they seem to have discontinued this plugin because Compressor caught up to it.
Is that consistent with people’s experience?

Magic Bullet Instant HD Advanced Discontinued
Why has Magic Bullet Instant HD Advanced Been Discontinued?
Our goal at Red Giant is to always offer unique products that are a high value and the best of breed in their respective category. If a product does not meet this criteria, we either add new features or consider discontinuing it.
Since the release of Magic Bullet Instant HD Advanced in 2008, image scaling has become more sophisticated. Built-in tools such as Apple Compressor are now quite strong. Based on this development, we decided Instant HD Advanced no longer meets our criteria and will be discontinued and removed from our product catalog. This means Magic Bullet Instant HD Advanced will NOT be redeveloped for use in Adobe CS5.

I think it is still available for Mac.
