In theory a conversion process examines standard definition video footage (like 720x480) and by looking at previous and next frame data, can intelligently extrapolate data to upscale and enhance the footage. This works best with footage such as talking heads and works worse with motion footage like a football game.
Kmot, I've wondered the same thing. I thought PD was advertised to have upscaling, but can't find anything yet that addresses that.
Hi Rob,
Yes, Power Director does have upscaling. Jaime pointed out where it is in the Fix/Enhance. Select a video clip on the timeline and the Fix/Enhance button will appear. Then select the "Video Enhancement", which improves the sharpness of a video and applies an up sampling technology that improves video quality. There is also a slider control that you can apply different degrees of this affect. This is one of Cyberlinks True Theatre Technology tools. There are others too.lighting adjustment, stabilizer, video denoise, etc.
Then when you go to the Produce area to create your video you can then select a video profile that has a larger resolution. So you could increase a 720x480 video to say 1280x720 or even try 1920x1080, which may be a bit of a stretch.
Experiment and see what works for you.
Kevin
