has anyone used both ? I have used the upscale a couple of times and it is incredibly hard to Navigate... I use it to follow pretty fast motion across an area about the size of a basketball court.
I have to video with no one operating the camera so I am starting with a wide angle shot following 1 person around...
I am shooting with the Sony A7S111 @ 120 FPS
Obviously I get quite a lot of Noise as I crop .. so I was hoping that using upscale would minimize this?? Any thoughts??
thank you
upscale won't reduce the noise unless you do a noise reduction pass first.
I use "Neat" for noise reduction.. Are you saying that if I run Neat before croping..even though I don't have al ot of noise... it will reduce it better than using it after I crop??
If you were to follow traditional methods and use noise reduction first, make sure there's no reduction in detail, cause that's the opposite of what you're trying to do, you probably have to go into advanced settings as when I've used Neat on default (build noise profile/ apply) it looked soft
This video shows a method of improving speed by not using sharpening as part of the uprez process and using sharpening filters instead. There's a 20% dislike ratio, but there are no comments to justify why.I don't use crop or upscale so no first hand experience
If it's paid work you're doing, and you always using that cropped in and pan method Topaz Video Enhance AI could be more appropriate. Faster, has build in noise reduction and sharpening and makes good use of your GPU. It is subscription software though.
