Infognition SuperResolution plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro allows to integrate DV footage shot at lower
quality into higher definition projects (e.g. convert SD video into HD).
Super-resolution
method used for video upscaling actively employs motion estimation and high frequency image data fusion, producing a clear and
sharp result. Infognition SuperResolution is capable of upscaling videos to any desired resolution, instead of offering a limited
choice from a list of preset options. The plugin uses the same super-resolution engine as
Video Enhancer 1.6.
How it works
The plugin obtains information from a number of neighbor frames to upsize each current frame. The algorithm analyzes and
accumulates information, thus the more sequential frames are processed while upscaling, the higher quality you finally get. When
first applied to a layer, Infognition SuperResolution takes just a few frames preceding the current one.

For more flexibility, video can be processed in 3 quality modes: High speed SR, High quality SR and Lanczos. First two modes
differ in speed and resulting quality. The best quality is obtained in High quality SR. Lanczos mode employs upscaling technique
with respective name, without super-resolution (which is somewhat time consuming). Lanczos is a relatively fast upsizing method,
providing better quality than a regular bicubic resize algorithm. Lanczos is used when you set "low quality" for chosen layer in
After Effects.
Where it works
Current version of Infognition SuperResolution plugin was tested in After Effects 7.0 and Premiere Pro 2.0
but may probably work in other versions (reported to work in AE 6.5).
Warning:
this upsize method works only with progressive video. To apply the plugin to interlaced video, you should either deinterlace it or
separate fields and recombine them back after upscaling.
Quality comparison
Infognition's super-resolution technology (used also in Video Enhancer) has been compared
with several alternative video upsizing methods and solutions including
plugins from Red Giant, Digital Anarchy (now acquired by Red Giant) and Topaz Labs. You can
see the comparison
here.
Registered and Unregistered versions
Infognition SuperResolution plugin is a try-before-you-buy software. You can download and test it
free of charge as long as you want. While unregistered, the plugin will add a watermark
(diagonal lines) over the result video. You can disable this watermark by
purchasing a license and entering your registration code. When ordering
don't forget to enter your serial number which you can see in Options dialog
of the plugin.
