What It Does
ScaleUp enlarges video footage up to 10 times its original size using neural network analysis instead of traditional bicubic interpolation. The plugin studies pixel patterns across large image datasets to intelligently reconstruct detail, reduce noise, and eliminate compression artifacts like blocking. Works in both After Effects and Premiere Pro with GPU acceleration on Mac and Windows.
Key Features
Sharp mode preserves fine detail and creates realistic-looking textures when upscaling photographic footage.
Cartoon mode handles illustrated content by maintaining clean edges while removing compression artifacts, useful for scaling animation or graphics-heavy clips.
Fast mode (formerly called Advance) balances processing speed with quality for general-purpose upscaling.
The plugin also includes standard Bicubic and Nearest-Neighbor interpolation options when you need traditional scaling methods.
Multi-Frame Rendering support speeds up batch processing. The plugin handles tile boundaries cleanly and respects anchor points for precise positioning within compositions.
Who It’s For
Useful when you need to enlarge archival footage, low-resolution stock clips, or compressed video for higher-resolution deliverables. Particularly effective at recovering lost texture from heavily compressed sources. CGI renders, live-action footage, and text elements all process through the same neural network approach.
