AI Super Scale in DaVinci Resolve 20 — Studio-Only Feature Worth Upgrading to Studio For!
In this video, I show you why AI Super Scale in DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 is a game changer for upscaling low-res footage. Using scenes from First Blood, we compare the original NTSC DVD rip to a 4K upscale using the powerful AI Super Scale feature — and the difference is massive.

Where to find and enable AI Super Scale
Choosing between 2x, 3x, 4x scaling and "Enhanced" mode
Avoiding over-sharpening and using noise reduction wisely
How to refine the upscale further in the Color Page using D-Band, sharpening, and grading nodes
How it compares side-by-side with native 4K footage
Tips for working with long-form clips and optimizing Super Scale workflow
