Turn Standard Definition Video to Crystal-Clear High Definition Video!

Dee Mon announces SuperResolution plugin for Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing you to create High Definition video from SD files using the Super Resolution method. The plugin has proved to be the most effective video upsizer of its kind.

Things are changing quickly these days. Standards rise along with requirements. The public demand for a better quality picture resulted in the beginning of the new era, the era of High Definition. Thus, in order to make a better impact upon the audience, more and more serious projects require the use of HD video. Does that mean that all your SD material is no longer useful? That would be the case without video upsize methods. Thankfully there exists a variety of them, but until recently some of these methods were unavailable due to a limited processing power of casual computers. But now modern PCs are powerful enough to use the most advanced video upsize methods. Super-Resolution method is one of them. The method has been researched since 1984 and the name Super Resolution first appeared in 1990. SuperResolution plugin takes full advantage of that method to turn Standard Definition video to quality HD.

Super-Resolution method is based on the use of adjacent frames for enhancing the visual quality of the picture. The plugin fuses together several images to produce one image with enhanced resolution. There are similar plugins using the Super-Resolution method. However, experience has shown that SuperResolution plugin provides the best results in video upsizing and thus it is the most efficient. Its pre-eminence is shown through both faster processing speed and better quality of an output video. Not only does the plugin upsizes resolution but it also carefully renders all the details. For an in-depth comparison of video upsize solutions, containing sample video frames upsized by various methods, please visit Video upsize methods comparison.

For your convenience, the plugin provides three upsizing modes that differ in speed and quality. High quality SR gives you the maximum of what the plugin is capable of - it processes your video so that not a single detail is missed out. High speed SR allows you to get HD faster with a slight decrease in quality. The last Lanczos mode is the fastest one as it uses Lanczos upscaling instead of Super-Resolution and can be used as a more effective alternative of the bicubic resize method. SuperResolution plugin is well optimized, so the processing time in each mode takes as little time as possible. Additionally, the plugin makes the most of dual core processors.
