Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Michele's article mentions that results will vary depending on the
nature of the footage you are trying to upscale. For those interested,
I ended up doing the upscale in Pr, exporting using ProRes4444,
importing the ProRes back into AE CC for color-correction and graphics.
I scaled 176% in Pr; anything higher was just too nasty. This of course
did not fill the 1080 HD frame; fortunately I had the "creative freedom"
to fill the void with a textured background.
I will repeat here that it is very important to de-interlace properly
from the very beginning. A few people asked if I had done that, which I
had, but it bears repeating.
