I've been searching for the best upscaling method I can use for a potful of 480i clips I have to work with in a 1920x1080 HD output project. I need to blow them up from 100 to 150%.
I'm using detail preserving upscale effect and here's how I go about it:
1. I put the 480i clip into a 1920x1060 project, then choose "interpret footage", then "off" in the field selection area:
2. I then apply the detail preserving upscale effect to the clip, scale it up to 150% and then output it and consider it done.
Does this sound reasonable? I have tried turning the clips into progressive clips and then running them through Instant HD, but the results were dissapointing.
Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome. Thanks.
