Re: Loss of Quality When Exporting

Steve - I was reading a few posts trying to figure out a resolution / quality question.  Remember - you gave me a lesson when I first jumped into Adobe Elements!!!!

 

Question - I shoot video on my iPhone at 1080p HD 60 fps.  When I create a composite of videos and want to export, I'm offered to output in 1080 or can bump up to 3840 x 2160.  Assuming file size is not an issue, will the higher resolution result in higher quality coming out of Elements?

I like John's balloon analogy!

 

If you really have to "enhance" video quality, there seems to be solutions.  The newest 4K TVs advertise "upscaling" and, to my eyes, seems to work.   One company actively promoting upscaling is Topaz with their software called "Video AI".  I've not paid to try it, but it seems to get good reviews.

You can't make a video larger and receive higher quality... exporting at the original size is the best you can do

 

An INEXACT example is use a felt marker to draw a solid line on a flat balloon... then blow the balloon up and see how the solid line is no longer as solid
