HI-Resolution Still from Footage????

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

You’ll first want to check with them on the file specs before going further. You’ll want to find out the required DPI and inches of the image they are expecting. Being film organisers, I’m sure they don’t expect anything out-of-range for most video formats. Enquire on the DPI, size (in inches) for the output and the file format for delivery.

Also, you may not need anything more than scaling up your image by 100% increments with the layer set to draft quality and rendering that out to get more pixels into your image – thereby increasing your resolution.

You may also want to look at a Photoshop-based solution which has plugins for up-sizing images.

Use the following formula –
DPI x inches = number of pixels
to find out how large your AE-rendered image should be.

H,

the size will be 8 on 9 inches and the dpi 300.

8×9 inches isn’t a video aspect ratio and hence, should be the size of the entire poster. Either you double-check with them or go with the 100% incremental scaling with the layer set to draft quality or look for a Photoshop plugin. I recall a Photoshop plugin that does up-sizing and the compnay offers a fully functional plugin during the trial period. Do a GOogle and you should be well setup for that.

Instant HD is optimized for video/film rez. Your mileage may differ. And Red Giant offers a trial, so you should be too far from discovering if it’ll work for you.

Hi Dave,

acutally it did help and it does do a pretty good job, but as you said – it does not provide a miracle.
For poster size it still doesn’t bake the cake – but for anybody who has a situation like this – should try – it definately does improve the quality.
Big Up for Red Giant!

Greetz,

Sascha
