Upscaling complex sequence from 720 to 1080

Ah, the luxury of real time conversions! I will research that option and its cost.

did you try sung Media Manger to do the up-scale?

Media: Create Offline
set sequences to: (your 1080 format)
delete unused NO

you create an offline version of the project with the correct up-scaling of moves etc (in theory!)
then you re-conect.

Media Manager process… but if I reconnect the original 1080 clips, won’t they lose their extra bigness relative to how they were in the 720 timeline?

The original idea is to use a 720 sequence to add “lossless” zooms and moves with 1080 clips (never scaling them above 100%), layering them with still images.

Then I’d have to strip out the still images and do the upscale, and in the 1080 sequence add back the still images so they are “fresh” and sharp because they have not been upscaled. I was looking for a way to ad them back without having to 1) lose all the multi-track layering positioning of the clips, and 2) re-applying all the parameters of the stills movements and scaling.

no, don’t think so.

OK. It’s all a brain twister for me until I give it a go!
