How to get real better quality using Instant 4k effect?

Hi Happy New Year to you all

I tried to use Red Giants' Instant 4K to upscale some footage in Adobe Premiere CC and AE CC, but I really don't see much difference between up-scaling an SD footage with it or to upscale it with the Premiere or AE motion. Even by up-scaling HD footage to 4k, I don't get a higher quality. What should I do when using Instant 4k to get a real better quality?

Thanks, Jim.

    That plug-in isn't really necessary any longer. After Effects and Premiere Pro have improved their upscaling features in the past few years such that an additional third-party plug-in isn't necessary to get good results in this area.

    For especially good results, try the Detail-Preserving Upscale effect in After Effects---though for many cases the faster method of just using bicubic sampling for the layer's Scale property is adequate.

    And, no matter what technique you're using, if you're trying to go from SD to 4K, it's never going to look great.

    And from SD to HD?

    You want to ask Red Giant. Try posting on their forum. You will find more Red Giant users using After Effects there than you will find After Effect s users with Red Giant stuff here.

    You'll need to be quite specific about why you don't like the results of any of your choices or post screen shots.

    thanks for your answer. Problem is that I do not see any real quality difference with using or without using that effect.
