Or you can rely on another lightweight video scaler that adopts motion adaptive pixel scaling algorithm that estimate finer resolution data and generate new pixels automatically. If you want to maximize details, it's better to use plug-ins or " details preserving upscale" effect in After Effects via dynamic link. Premiere Pro includes a simple algorithm to do this guess work. The more we know about the adjacent pixels, the more accurate it will be. So, if you stretch (scatter) the original 2 million pixels in a 3840x2160 frame, there are 6 million holes to be filled, and these non-existing pixels are created based on adjacent pixels. To illustrate, for a 1080p video, you only got 2 million some pixels to play with, while 4K has 8 million some pixels.

How to Upscale Video in Premiere Pro (Or Downscale)īefore we start, it's good to know that pixels cannot be created out of nothing.



There are a bunch of motivations to upscale a video.
