Upscaling the video to 4K makes the starting scene blurry, especially the human hair.

Question

Upscaling the video to 4K makes the starting scene blurry, especially the human hair.
So now i will have to do manual tinkering with the starting slide :_(
Definitely, the first frame deserves more attention!

Please add some starting options for upscaling a video:

To add a separtely upscaled starting slide (same Firefly generative upscale) before upscaling the entire video. But even Firefly image upscaler has trouble upscaling human hair (the hair look glued together). Please do something with generative upscaling first, this feature seems to be uniqe to Adobe.
If the manually upscaled starting slide is missing, propose to upscale and display the upscaled starting slide only before attempting to upscale the entire video.

Hinakigoe.org,Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback.I understand the concern about the first frame looking blurry, especially with fine details like hair.To help us investigate further, could you share the Upscale settings you selected and the original video file so we can check the resolution/format and test it on our side? We’d also like to know if this happens only on the first frame or across multiple frames.In the meantime, one workaround is to export the first frame as a still image, upscale it separately with Firefly’s image upscaler, and then re‑insert it as the opening slide. This can help preserve detail while the team looks into improving video upscaling.We’ll make sure your suggestion about a dedicated starting‑frame upscale option is passed along to the product team.Thank you again for your input.Hajar[Moved to questions]
