    Posted by Christopher Tay on September 25, 2005 at 2:36 pm

    Hi,

    Does anyone know what software is good at upscaling 720p to 1080p ?

    I hear the scaling engine in FCP gives pretty bad results so was wondering if other software like AfterEffects or any other software out there that will do a better job than FCP.

    Shake has about the best of the software upconverts.

    or use your k2 board.

    The Kona 2 doesn’t do a cross-convert from 720 to 1080 or vice versa, unless it was added with the 1.1.4 driver and I didn’t notice.

    No…K2 doesn’t cross convert and I’ve confirmed that with AJA engineering.

    You know, I could swear a specific plugin developer has been working on this exact request for FCP, but I can’t remember if public development info is under wraps, so I wont mention who it is for now (although I’ll send an email out and point them to this thread in case they want to chime in).

    I’m the guy Marco mentions above. I’ve been hit with back trouble recently, which has slowed down my development efforts, but I will eventually get my algorithm working well on video and then you will certainly see an affordable product that does best of class uprezzing. There’s some early test shots on my website, but they’re woefully out of date and the algorithm has been much improved since then. I’m hoping to get it all running on the GPU for real speed though…. Perhaps even as a Motion plugin.

    And if anyone is going to make the best algorithm for format conversion, it’ll be Graeme. His standards converter is proof enough of that. Look forward to seeing the release of this.

    Graeme: hope you get well, buddy. I know all to well back pain can make your entire life stop flat face in front of you… literally. Sigh.

    Thanks Marco! I’m coping with the back stuff, but it’s slow going, and I’m slowly getting back into work now. But support like this helps me immensely.

    Let’s all pitch in a nd get graeme a chiroracter. 🙂

    He is the great hope for those who shoot DV,SD,720P and want to finish HD. I bet this product will have teranax style results.

    Great wishes for speedy recovery Graeme and if you need anything at all you know where to find me.
