AI ULTRA Sharpen VS SUPER Scale | DaVinci Resolve 21 Tutorial

Take a look at this. You see this image? All blurry and crappy quality . And on top of that, the resolution is super low . So, in DaVinci Resolve, let's apply AI Ultra Sharpen. Ultra Sharpen . Yeah. . And now, pay attention . [music] Holy that's I mean, what sorcery is this? This is This is Yeah, not real. . I'm sorry. What you just saw is what movies want us to believe is possible, right ? And also some AI apps want us to believe that that's possible , but what you saw is, in fact, [music] impossible . Once image data is lost by blurring or too low resolution , AI cannot magically invent the missing details, the [music] missing data . But, nevertheless, AI Super Scale and AI Ultra Sharpen in DaVinci Resolve are still [music] super useful . So, let me show you. Firs . First, we have AI Super Scale , which is used to increase the actual pixel resolution of low-resolution clips . For example, if you want to use 1080 clips on a 4K timeline . So, it actually creates new . And you can find it here in the Inspector window . With your clip selected, just enable it . [music] And then, for example, if you want to upscale 1080 to 4K, 4K vertical resolution is 2160. So, that's 2 * 1080 . [music] So, you should go for 2 * upscaling . And then, you can go for the Standard algorithm or the Enhanced one , which uses a heavier neural engine model . And it also gives you a bit more control . Look, I have some test footage here on a 4K timeline . This is real 4K footage . This is the same image, but 1080. [music] So, my camera set to 1080 , and I just dropped it on my 4K timeline without [music] using any upscaling
