Quick blog post about an awesome (free) video upscaling tool I use by the terrific @finnvoorhees https://christianselig.com/2025/06/awesome-upscaling-tool/
A slept on upscaling tool for macOS

I upload YouTube videos from time to time, and a fun comment I often get is “Whoa, this is 8K!”. Even better, I’ve had comments from the like, seven people with 8K TVs that the video looks awesome on their TV. And you guessed it, I don’t record my videos in 8K! I record them in 4K and upscale them to 8K after the fact.

@christianselig now that you have a PC with nvidia card, you have much better options for upscaling. Lmk if you want me to point to some good online communities.

@covercash I've tried a bunch of them, but never had the same performance:speed ratio as Apple's MetalFX. Topaz is admittedly a fair bit better if you're willing to put in the time

@christianselig aren’t you looking for a 5090…

@covercash Yeah, that’ll even the playing ground a bit more but it’s still “only” about 5x faster than my 3060 Ti for AI work, it’ll bring it from over a day to around 8 hours which is still a fair commitment versus an hour. Enough that it’ll make it worth it though no doubt
