I'm reaching out for some guidance on enhancing the recorded footage of my dashcam. I've got both Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro downloaded and ready to go, but I could really use some assistance in utilizing their AI upscaling features. I'm looking for a straightforward approach to take my dashcam footage to the next level in terms of clarity and overall quality.

I've heard that Adobe's software can work wonders with AI-based video upscaling, and I'm excited to learn how to make the most of it. So, if anyone's well-versed in these tools and could provide me with a simple step-by-step guide or tips, I'd be extremely grateful. I'm eager to enhance my dashcam videos before sharing them with others. Thanks a bunch in advance for your expertise!

Read the online help on the detail preserving upscale effect in AE. Other than that there's no magic solutions to it. Some footage simply will remain terrible and the effect doesn't take care of color issues, blown out footage from sunlight and whatnot. Rather than asking broad and generic questions you need to show us frames/ screenshots or the actual footage and explain what you want to enhance. In fact now that I think about it you probably will need to start by stabilizing the footage to eliminate jitter and jolting.

While browsing, I came across a relevant thread that directly pertains to my question. The thread is about upscaling After Effects Composition from HD to 4K, which is similar to upscaling dashcam footage to a higher resolution. Here's the thread I'm referring to: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/upscale-after-effects-composition-hd-to-4k/m-p/11696693

This discussion extensively covers the procedure for upscaling After Effects compositions from HD to 4K. One noteworthy suggestion within the thread is the utilization of the "ScaleUp" plugin to leverage AI technology for scaling within both Premiere Pro and After Effects, as highlighted by @Roland Kahlenberg, who recommended this source: https://aescripts.com/scaleup /.

I intend to incorporate the recommended tools in order to ensure the efficacy of this solution. My primary goal is to achieve an upscale that preserves intricate details, thereby enhancing overall image quality.
