Step 3

Select the clip and open Upscale with Topaz Astra.

In Firefly, select Upscale from the Quick Actions menu. In Firefly Boards, select a video clip and use the Upscale with Topaz Astra option in the editing toolbar.

Step 4

Choose your upscaling settings.

Review the settings in the Upscale panel. Select your preferences for Mode (Precise or Creative), performance (Speed or Quality), and output resolution (1080p or 4K).

Step 5

Generate and review your upscaled video.

Click Generate to run the upscale, can continue working while it processes, and then compare the upscaled result to the original, tweaking settings if the result looks too sharp or stylized.

Step 6

Download your clip.

Download the upscaled video as an MP4, send it to Premiere or the Firefly video editor for more editing, or keep it in Firefly Boards to combine with other clips.
