I know that upscaling SD video is not the best solution, but I have existing old video clips that I want to insert soon into a new production. Now I wonder which tool could handle that best! Premiere? After Effects? Photoshop? some other third party tool?

I've seen some pretty good upscaled DigiBeta material but I don't know (yet) how it was done. But the quality is not bad at all!

upscaling is a decent workflow if you have to.... but you can definately tell its upsclaed and not true HD. i have Instant HD, and it looks decent, but aagin you can tell it was upscaled, just like watching all the fuzzy 720p on direcTV/cable. you can tell that crap is being upscaled to fit the 1080p display.
