So here's something I've been wondering. I have a few older videos stored away from my attempt at being a Youtube star about 10+ years ago. They were shot in 720p60, and I'd love to see what they'd look like upscaled to 1440p or 4K.

I know VLC Player recently released a version with support for the Evil Green GPUs to upscale, and I know Edge has some upscaling features that support AMD GPUs.

I'm after an app that can upscale with AMD GPUs. 

Someone? Anyone?

GPU upscaling refers to the process of using a graphics processing unit (GPU) to increase the resolution of a video or image. This can be done through various algorithms and techniques, such as super-resolution or neural network-based methods.

If you're looking for an application that supports upscaling videos using AMD GPUs, you can consider using a popular video editing software called Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro provides GPU-accelerated video processing and supports AMD GPUs for tasks like video upscaling.

With Adobe Premiere Pro, you can import your older videos and apply upscaling effects to increase their resolution to 1440p or 4K. The GPU acceleration provided by AMD GPUs can significantly speed up the upscaling process and improve overall performance.

Got a cheaper option? Like FREE?

Davinci resolve also upscales, but never bothered to check the diference. Let me check and ill get back to you. 

I did some footage in 480p but the final project was 1080p60.

As long as it's bank account friendly.

[johnnyenglish]

There is a free version available. 

; -)

That's a price I'm willing to pay!

Hey there,

It's great that you're looking to upscale your older videos to higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K for a better viewing experience. While VLC Player and Edge have indeed introduced GPU-accelerated upscaling features, there are other specialized video editing applications that might better suit your needs, especially if you're using AMD GPUs.

One popular choice for upscaling videos with AMD GPU support is DaVinci Resolve. It offers robust upscaling options and can take advantage of the GPU's power for efficient processing. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more mobile-friendly solution, you can explore mobile video editing apps like CapCut and Kinemaster, both of which have their own upscaling capabilities. However, be aware that mobile apps may have limitations compared to desktop software.

Give one of these options a try, and you'll likely achieve the video quality you're aiming for. Remember to check the specific GPU requirements and features in the software to ensure compatibility with your AMD GPU.

Best of luck with your upscaling project!

Hello,

If you're looking to upscale your older videos using an AMD GPU, you might want to consider using a program like "AMD Radeon Software" or "AMD Adrenalin." These software packages often include features for enhancing video quality, including upscaling. While I can't provide a step-by-step guide, you can explore their settings and look for options related to video enhancement and upscaling to 1440p or 4K. Additionally, you may want to check for any third-party video editing software that specifically supports AMD GPUs for upscaling.

I hope this helps you get started on your upscaling project!

Hello there,

It's fantastic that you want to improve the watching experience by upgrading your older videos to higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K. Although GPU-accelerated upscaling functions have been added to VLC Player and Edge, if you're utilizing AMD GPUs, there are other specialist video editing apps that might be more suitable for your needs.

DaVinci Resolve is a well-liked option for upscaling videos with AMD GPU support. It provides a wide range of upscaling choices and can leverage the GPU's processing capabilities for effective results. As an alternative, you might investigate mobile video editing programs like CapCut vs Kinemaster, both of which contain upscaling features, if you're searching for a more portable solution. However, keep in mind that, in comparison to desktop software, mobile apps could have certain limitations.

You can use Topaz Video AI for upscaling with AMD GPUs. It's optimized for performance and delivers solid results. Another option is CyberLink PowerDirector, which also supports AMD GPU acceleration. Both should handle your 720p60 videos well.

It works for me while creating capcut templates and renders in blender with Both should handle your 720p60 videos well.

Isn't Topaz expensive?

My need for something similar, or at least I hope, lies with my cousin getting some 1950'2 8mm videos into mp4 or however she is attempting to convert from a CD-ROM.  She lives in Louisiana and at last contact was trying to get them converted into something easier to share.  A lot of memories in those videos as we were all very close knit.

It depends on what you're trying to do.

If you have an RDNA3 GPU and want to upscale videos in real-time, Turn on AMD's "Video Upscale" setting in the drivers, then enable "Process video automatically to enhance it". As you can see here in this community post btw.  

The video upscale also might work in Firefox and video player applications.

If you have AMD ReLive and an AMD GPU (I think you need RDNA2 or higher) There's a 2x upscaler which is also somewhat effective. If you need more resolution, just run it more than once. RDNA3 also gets intelligent denoising. (I wish you could do "scale to" and not just 2x)

Other methods also exist.

It sounds like you're looking for a good way to upscale your older 720p60 videos to 1440p or 4K. There are a few great tools out there for this, especially if you're using an AMD GPU.

1. Topaz Video AI: This is a powerful tool for upscaling videos with AI technology, and it supports AMD GPUs. It can help improve video quality while upscaling to higher resolutions.

2. AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR): This feature, built into AMD graphics cards, can upscale videos and improve their quality, though it’s more commonly used for gaming. However, some media players may support it for videos as well.

3. VLC Media Player: As you mentioned, VLC’s latest version has GPU-accelerated upscaling for AMD and other GPUs. It’s a simple, free way to upscale videos without needing extra software.

If you’re also into video editing, I’d recommend checking out CapCut for some helpful templates. I’ve found that the CapCut templates available at CapCut Template Store are a great resource for improving my video editing workflow. It could be a useful addition to your video projects!

Hope this helps! Let me know if you find a solution that works well for you.
