Hi Ed,

I think you’re right about what Cyberlink’s definition of… “Upscaling Technologies” is.
As being the use, per prefference, of a combination of the available Fix/Enhance tools, as opposed to a “one button upscaling feature”.

I deduce this as a result of looking at this link…
http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector/upscale-video_en_US.html
…and the fact that “Technologies” is spelled in the plural form.

But if you do find that single magic upscale button somewhere, let the rest of us know. I was wondering the same thing, but I sure couldn’t find it.

In PD8, select the video in the timeline and then click the "Fix / Enhance". Under the Enhance area is Video Enhancement. I think that is the upscaling technology they are speaking about.

OK thanks - that looks like the one!

Tried it on a few clips - difference more obvious on some than others; will try it in more depth later Director Suite 365

Ed,

Though I haven't done a lot with PD8 yet, I did find that for some clips and pre-produced stills with motion, that just using the good old "sharpen" tool in "color adjustment", actually looked better than applying the full Enhance. As the Enhance tool seemed to sometimes give certain media a pretty obvious over processed look to it.

I guess one just has to experiment.
