How to upres or upscale footage in DaVinci Resolve can be tricky…glad to be of service

[@melenchonlecon]

Hello, thanks for the video ! Will definitely try it when I’ll get a better machine… but I didn’t understand the point of upscaling twice like you did at 5:33 ? Could you please explain to me why you did that ? Thanks

[@AgustinDavidF]

Super useful! Thank you!!!!

[@EntrNmHre]

Glad to hear this helped you upres your footage in resolve

[@andrewmason8691]

Great video. Very slick and good to see another Aussie out there having a crack. I’m in Sydney. Where are you based? Re this topic, the opportunities are massively being missed. Firstly, if you shoot 1080p because you want to shoot 120fps. Most cameras don’t offer 4K 120fps. Think weddings. Huge! Secondly, remastering old home videos shot 20 or 30 years ago. I’ve got a stack I want to do myself. Hence I’m checking out the best workflow and seems to render much quicker in v.17 of DVR from what I hear. So I will probably need to break my home videos up into bite size chunks and potentially consolidate the files i output, then do the render. But I also interview people about their life stories. So using old footage as b roll fits in beautifully. It also opens up business opportunities around remastering.

[@EntrNmHre]

gidday mate and cheers. keep me posted on what you get up to next. Im in France. Left Sydney years ago. But with everything going on, missing oz now

[@christianhotter]

Thanks for walking us through that! If someone wanted to crop in on a 1080 clip in a 1080 timeline, would super scaling help at all? It seems like it should, but I'm not sure if that would just make my export go slower. I guess the best way to find out is to just try it myself. :)

[@EntrNmHre]

It will absolutely make the 1080 shot sharper and yes you are right you can use it to crop your footage, but you may also have to change some of your project settings to achieve the desired cropped result.

[@insidethemani9852]

Thanks. This is huge for folk on a budget! So, Studio version is required. Do you know the minimum computer specs needed to cope with this upres process to prevent crashing? Obviously it demands a lot more CPU/GPU power as you indicated in the slowing down of playback. But to fully render? Thanks again

[@EntrNmHre]

Thats a tricky question to answer because it has a lot more to do with OS, drivers, which version of resolve....I/O speeds...Im using a older 2012 macbook pro i7 16gb RAM with a 2 gb graphics card. Most people have a better computer than me,

[@HISPEKK]

Another way is to pre render up to 4k, then edit the new files that works for me. Great video cheers.

[@EntrNmHre]

Good tip! I also do this sometimes, but it depends on the source footage file type and the system I am using - sometimes the conversion + the upscale just wastes too much editing time. Once in Prores though, its like butter...

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Apparently this only works with Davinci Resolve Studio, not the free version. It seemed to run on my free version but put an overlay that said it was STUDIO but I think it was the regular stretch method. I was trying to upgrade a video size 400x224 that was sent to me for a presentation they are doing. I used the standard stretch and that will have to do.

[@EntrNmHre]

I think you may be right if you're trying to export 4k and above

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

@@EntrNmHre I exported at 1080P.

[@tedjones2134]

Great video, but it doesn't seem to work for me. As soon as I set the attributes to 2x, I get a message saying I need the Studio version which I don't see any labelling of in your video. What am I doing wrong?

[@EntrNmHre]

Yes, you do need the studio version, sorry for that confusion. Its well worth the money, I paid once in 2010 and it cost me 1000 AUD, now its only 295 dollars or in your case free, which is cheaper than Topaz AI up-scaler and comes for free with most of Blackmagic's cameras. But listen even if you buy the studio version, don't expect to edit while upscaling footage. It's a massive resource hog.

[@tedjones2134]

@@EntrNmHreThanks for the clarification, but the Studio version isn't free. I believe the price in the US is about $299.99 USD while in Canada it is $399.99 CAD. If there is aa way of getting it for free, I'd love to hear how.

[@EntrNmHre]

Hi Ted, yes I remember the last time I was in Canada, the old Aussie and Canadian dollars don't go far against the greenback. You can get resolve studio for free if you purchase a Blackmagic design cinema camera, studio panel and some other hardware devices. For example here in France, what a lot of cats do is buy a pocket cinema 4k camera, activate the resolve key and then sell the camera slightly cheaper unused, which means in the end they pay around 100 bucks for the software. But buy the software, it well worth it for all the features. I still cant believe that BMD even gives away a free copy, imagine if adobe did that.

[@lightbright8888]

Would I use this same workflow for upscaling 4K or 6K to say 8K? Also I clip attributes for superscale would I use 2x or 4x? Thanks.

[@EntrNmHre]

Thats right brother, exactly the same process

Thank you, very interesting channel! I will try! What do you think about Cannon EOS 200 for beginner? Will I be able to create professional content with it? thanks!

[@EntrNmHre]

Hey mate thanks for reaching out. I think that the Canon Eos 200 would be a great entry level camera. To be honest with you, the camera you use doesnt make the work professional, its more about how you use the tools. But if you are just beginning and want to make your work stand out faster a better Full Frame camera would be a better choice in the long run. I still buy used cameras to this day and that way I get much better equipment much cheaper. Reach out if you have any other questions.

[@TimetoTalkwithYevgen]

@@EntrNmHre Thank you very much for your answer! I am looking forward to learning more from your videos. I am also trying to learn better postproduction. It's my hobby for now. I plan on basically making content for my students. But I want it to be more engaging!

Will this work for gameplay footage as well? I record call of duty warzone footage using obs. I play at 1440p and record at 1440p. I have an option in obs studio to record at 1080p. It's less taxing on my pc is I record at 1080p. But I want to upscale to 4k. I have no issue recording at my native resolution of 1440p. But is this the same process? Thanks.

[@EntrNmHre]

Can t see why this way of upscaling / upres-ing your'e gameplat footage wouldnt be any different from regular footage - try it out and let me know how you go

[@jeremyclark4563]

What would be the best workflow if you are dealing with 4k and 1080 clips on your timeline? So you are not upscaling the 4k clips as well as the 1080 clips? BTW thanks for your video.

[@EntrNmHre]

hey Jeremy, right click on the clicks in the timeline and go to clip attributes, but only after you have completed your edit. The go straight to render.

[@jeremyclark4563]

Is there an easy way of telling which ones are 1080 or 4k without going to the properties or renaming the files?

[@EntrNmHre]

@@jeremyclark4563 do you mean after you have superscaled or before?

[@jeremyclark4563]

@@EntrNmHre My problem is I shoot With a Nikon Z6 that can shoot 4K at 23.976 and 1080P at 59.94 and an Autel Evo 2 Pro that shoots 4K at 60 FPS and 4K at 24 FPS. So I am trying to figure out the settings/workflow to deal with 2 different framerates and resolutions when I am wanting to shoot slow-mo with my Nikon and not have problems when mismatching the 23.976 and 24 FPS

[@EntrNmHre]

@@jeremyclark4563 Resolve by default will reconform your frame rates for you to whatever you set in your project settings as your base master timeline Frame Rate. So if you need to deliver at 30P, set that and it should all be good. You do not need to reconform or do stringouts to change frame rates in resolve. For editing speed set your timeline to 1080 and then before export choose your deliverable export setting for resolution. Your time base will fix the rest.

[@fiveshorts]

Surely, the process of grading is affected by super scaling, right? If I do all my correction, grading, grain, noise reduction at 1080, THEN superscale, if have to go through and do it again

[@EntrNmHre]

Unless you are doing super intensive ROTO and trackers, with super complicated animated masks for VFX , I highly doubt it. Even then, you would have to change something like your aspect ratio from like 16:9 native to say 17:9 native to have a problems. Buy why would you do that. For your grades its more about the bit depth and the data rate over the resolution size.

[@EntrNmHre]

Not unless you are doing super detailed power windows with defined edges, you should be fine.

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Thanks for the updated "quick tip" video. So we need to activate super scaling BOTH on the clip in the timeline (through clip attributes) AND in the project settings page? I've seen some videos by other youtubers and they seemed to imply that activating super scaling on the clip timeline was enough.

[@EntrNmHre]

Hi MREP, You can either use super scale as the initial upscale (instead optical method in the clip inspector) or you can do it at a project level in the project settings. If you use this instead of the clip inspector it will bog your computer down useless you make proxies, activate render cache. For absolutely the best results / system performance, I would right click the clips and use clip attributes to superscale at the end of the edit. I would use the clip inspector setting to optically resize the shots during the edit. If you wanted absolutely the most out of resolve / worst performance playback and render you can do the superscale on both a timeline/project level and also at a clip level.

[@marinrealestatephotography]

@@EntrNmHre Ok, thanks!!!

[@Dpixtion]

this only works with the paid and not the free version..?

[@EntrNmHre]

I use a paid version. Are you using the free version?

[@Dpixtion]

@@EntrNmHre Yes I have the free, I just downloaded after seeing your videos. Did not know about this software. I'm saving $$ to get a DJI Pro 2 Zoom (or Pro 3) and trying to learn the software before I get video footage. Thanks for all the content and teaching.

[@EntrNmHre]

@@Dpixtion Hey David you are super welcome and in the future if you have any questions, reach out. But I would say the full resolve version is worth every penny. I orginally paid 1000 AUD for it in 2009/10. It now only costs a couple of hundred dollars for a perpetual license. The amount of money I have saved not owning any adobe products (because you can do it all in resolve) is crazy. The program in that sense has paid for itself.

[@Bapuji42]

Hi David, what part of this process doesn't work in the free version?

[@VicenzzoPaiva]

does this works on the free version?

[@EntrNmHre]

Yes and no, depends what resolution you are trying to upscale to

[@mr-j-7930]

6 hour render... D R Studio watermark? What went wrong?

[@EntrNmHre]

Look like you have the free version and possibly rendered out in a resolution higher than 1080P...???

[@ralphgeronilla]

why superscale the clips and also superscale the timeline?

[@EntrNmHre]

Because you maybe enlarging the shot inside the timeline more than the superscaled timeline resolution. Hope that clarifies this for you.
