4k Upscaling

Hey Guys

I recently bought this ai for upscaling my videos to 4k for instagram. i tried it multiple times today, but i havent seen any difference between my old video ( HD ) and the upscaled one ( 4k). i do not know which ai i should use and which parameters are best ( im doing car videos mybe this helps).

I hope somebody can help me with this problem

hi, can you share a source video? it’s weird that you don’t see any difference from hd to 4k, what models have you tried?

I cannot share mp4 videos. Also its not allowing me to share a link.

you don’t have a cloud? or an online site to host a video? I don’t know too much, but those who need help with a video share it easily

you can upload it to mediafire.com, for free without even the need to register.

or you can zip the video and upload small samples in this forum :wink:

4kVideo.zip (38.0 MB)
so Heres the “4K” Video. u can definetly see its not 4k. ( do you also need the hd video ? )

What’s the point in 4K on something that’s only really viewed on a mobile device? According to that small experiment, no one can tell.
I also found this one.
I remember some images going around social media that were supposed to display something else if your phone had a higher resolution screen. I can’t seem to find any articles saying that that’s something people need or even want.

So, to the question at hand, if it looks good in FHD it will look good on every mobile device. Maybe that’s why you cannot tell the difference?

it is indeed in 4k vertical, in fact in UHD more precisely, the 4k is in 4096 x 2160

i want to upload 4k videos on instagram. instagram is cropping my videos to hd, thats why i want to use this ai.

on my pc it is. but when i send it to my mobile device and watch it there it ruins my graphics. why is that?

You’re uploaded sample video has a resolution of

Width: 2160
Height: 3840

4k is 2160 pixels high, so this sample is not 4k, you have to rotate the video by 90 degrees but what you definitely don’t want to do with this content. Instagram does support FullHD (1080p) max, so 4k uploads gets downscaled or croped.

Downscale you’re video to 608 x 1080 and upload it and see what happens. If it gets croped, add black bars left and right it fits 1080 x 1080 or go to 4:3 1440 x 1080 or 1920x1080 by adding black bars and upload this to instagram

It is logical that since Instagram is a mobile app first, they would accept Width: 1080, Height: 1920.
