Looking forward to it!
I’ve noticed with upscaling, the first frame of every new shot looks odd. As far as i know, the only way to fix this is to then upscale a rendered out scene in reverse, then replace those odd looking frames.
I believe Adywan did this with his upscaled ESB:R.
Do you plan on doing this as well?

Yeh, its a HUGE problem with the Topaz software that many people don’t catch when doing the upscales. It can also vary. what i found out when doing upscaling with that software is that the last frame of the previous shot bleeds into the next one creating bad artefacts, especially going from bright areas to dark. But most times you’ll find that the next 2 or 3 frames are also not as high quality because of this. So you have to replace between 2 -4 frames at the beginning of every shot throughout the film But also it hates lightasbers and lasers. Movement of bright images like then leaves a ghosting image and bad artefacts on the following frame. So you have to do one pass as normal, and then another pass using reversed footage, then replace every first 2-4 frames on every shot, replace just the areas in the frame which has problems due to moving bright areas ( lasers and sabers especially). But you also get shots that have problems using standard or reversed footage on the first or last frame that need to be fixed using alternate methods.
