I have a feature-length film mastered in clean 1080p, and I want every frame lifted to true-looking 4K without the plasticky or over-sharpened feel that many quick passes create. You’ll be working in DaVinci Resolve using its AI Super Scale engine; if you need a companion pass in Topaz or another tool for edge cases, that’s fine, but Resolve’s AI layer should drive the result so grading and grain remain cinematic. What matters to me is preservation of texture: skin pores stay natural, fine patterns stay crisp, and any noise reduction is applied only where it serves the image. I’ll supply the ProRes 1080p master via a secure link; you return a visually lossless 4K master (3840×2160) in ProRes HQ or a comparable mezzanine codec so I can drop it straight into my delivery pipeline. Please show a brief before/after sample from your previous upscales—ideally narrative footage rather than test charts—and outline the workflow you’ll follow (AI settings, render passes, final checks). If this first project looks as good as I believe it can, I have several shorts in line for the same treatment. Deliverables • 4K master file (ProRes HQ or equivalent, 3840×2160) • Optional short comparison clip demonstrating the improvement • A one-paragraph note on the settings used so I can replicate or adjust in future projects Looking forward to seeing how far you can push a clean up-rez while keeping the film’s original cinematic soul intact.

I specialize in cinematic finishing; DaVinci Resolve color work, 4K delivery, and ProRes mastering is the core of my profile, so this project is a direct match. My workflow for your film: a calibrated Super Scale 2x pass in Resolve tuned for texture retention — no blanket sharpening, no aggressive noise reduction, with a targeted Topaz pass only on edge-case frames where fine detail needs recovery. Grain structure and skin tones stay intact throughout. You get a ProRes HQ 3840×2160 master plus a one-paragraph settings note so you can replicate or adjust the approach on your upcoming shorts.

Hi! This is exactly the kind of upscale work I specialize in—enhancing resolution while preserving the film’s original cinematic texture. I use DaVinci Resolve’s AI Super Scale as the core of my workflow, carefully tuned to avoid the common “plastic” look. For clean 1080p masters like yours, I typically apply 2× upscale with medium sharpening and minimal noise reduction, then refine selectively (not globally) to retain skin detail, film grain, and fine textures. If needed, I run targeted passes in Topaz Video AI for specific shots (like high-motion or soft-focus scenes), then bring everything back into Resolve for consistency and grading integrity. Workflow: • Pre-check: Analyze source for noise, compression, and detail retention • AI Upscale (Resolve): Balanced settings to avoid over-processing • Selective refinement: Shot-by-shot tweaks (NR, grain preservation, edge control) • Grain management: Reintroduce/maintain natural film grain where needed • Final pass: Color consistency + QC on a calibrated display • Export: 4K (3840×2160) in ProRes HQ, visually lossless You’ll receive: ✔️ Clean, cinematic 4K master (ProRes HQ) ✔️ Optional before/after comparison clip ✔️ Clear note on settings used for future replication If you’re aiming for “true 4K feel” without sacrificing the film’s soul, I’m confident I can deliver exactly that. Let’s make this first project a benchmark for the rest. ?
