Well, I just discovered something. I’m sure I’m not the only one but I thought I’d post this anyway. I know there will be naysayers because it may seem counterintuitive but believe it or not, I tried upscaling the 1080p off the 7D2 up to 4k using After Effects. I used Detail Preserving upscale, added 65 sharpening. I set the effect from Bicubic to Detail Preserving. The results are actually very noticeable (playing the upscaled 4K on 1080p timeline and exporting at 1080p). Much more crisp and sharp, definitely looks much better than the soft footage that comes straight off the camera. A bit more steps in the workflow but worth it in my opinion.

Hate to revive an old thread but I have a couple of 7D2 bodies and would love to hear what folks are doing to get good looking video out of them. I can’t believe how soft the video is on these, and I’m using a Canon 24-70L, Canon 50mm 1.8, Canon 24mm 2.8, Tamron 70-200 2.8 and a Sigma 17-50 2.8. They all look soft, can’t be the lenses. I know that some of it has to do with trying to eliminate/minimize aliasing and moire but come on. I’ve tried in-camera sharpening and that was worse. It seems that sharpening in post is better but I feel like I should be able to get at least a marginally crisper image. Anybody care to share how????
