Hello,
I actually use a Canon EOS R to shoot timelapse videos (I shoot raw photos and I convert it in a timelapse video).

The RAW resolution is 6720 x 4480.
It's worth to generate 8K videos (7680 × 4320)? The raws are not full 8K resolution.
Otherwise I will us "standard" 4K resolution for the videos.

Thank you for the help

Please ... help me!

Not worth (do you really need it?). Stay with 4K. With such a sensor you will get really detailed 4K.

You can use a program like Topaz Gigapixel AI to upscale the (RAW) images to 8k.
It has a trail version https://topazlabs.com/gigapixel-ai/
We use it to upscale old SD footage to 1080.

Thank you for the feedback. I think that 8K will be more interesting for potential buyers. My question is if technically with my raw landmark DaVinci will generate 8K videos with good quality.
I want to avoid to generate blurred 8K video.

6720 x 4480 is close to 8K. If you really want it then it's close enough to upscale with fairly good end result.
You can use Resolve super resolution upscaler (it's quite good), but you need good GPU to work with 8K.

Thank you for the support ^_^

Ehm back again.
Just an information: where I can find Resolve super resolution upscaler?
It's a built in plugin or an "external" plugin that I have to buy?

Thank you very much

Resolve Studio internal feature. Right click on the clip and then "Clip Attributes". Bottom of the Video tab there.

I don't think 8K will buy you any additional image quality. Image quality alone won't sell/not sell your idea.

You can make a good argument that if you extract a 4K image from a larger frame, this will give the room to optimize and reposition the frame as needed to create better composition. Noted director David Fincher has done this for years, and I don't think anybody has criticized Fincher's work from a technical point of view.

Hello again,
I have tried.
I have simply activated in the clip attribute the super scale, setting it to 2x.
I have left the other option Sharpness and noise reduction to medium, the default value.

Now I can simply render the video?
I'm missing some steps?

Thanks

Yes, just render (I assume project is set to 8K). I would set noise rather to low.

Ok thank you very much ^_^
