@Ken : Lanczos interpolation is more advanced than Bicubic interpolation, but that's not what you're looking for here. Vizual PixelPerfect is our FREE plugin to do just what you want https://www.autokroma.com/blog/Vizual-PixelPerfect-Upscale-Pixel-Art-Nearest-Neighbors-Premiere-Pro

Francis, Can you explain how Lanczo interpolation actually works and what it does to the nearest pixels. NN, Bilinear and Bicubic seem to all have a clear definition as to what it does and how it works. can you provide that here? I need to be able to explain the interpolation process to others. thanks.

Three years and still nothing. Adobe are absolutely useless. If I had the time to learn another NLE I would because your broken software and nonexistent support are a joke.

Although Nearest Neighbor is in After Effects, it's a lot of work to open it up every single time I want to upscale a screen capture. If you add this feature to Premiere everyone's life would be much easier. And Adobe Dynamic Link is way too slow to be a GOOD solution here, but for now - it's the only solution I know about.

You need a plugin for nearest neighbor interpolation. One free one for example is 'Pixel Perfect Upscale' by Vizual: https://www.autokroma.com/blog/Vizual-PixelPerfect-Upscale-Pixel-Art-Nearest-Neighbors-Premiere-Pro

The lack of this feature ensures I'll be cancelling my creative cloud subscription once I'm finished college. Nearest neighbor scaling is 100% REQUIRED for interpolating pixel-art. No other form of interpolation is a viable substitute, Lanczos included.

Just throwing my hat in the ring for this. We absolutely need a dropdown within the Scale parameters of a clip. It must include Nearest Neighbor.

We have a new solution for nearest neighbors (pixel art) upscaling in Premiere Pro ! Please test our FREE filter called Autokroma Vizual PixelPerfect, download and install from here https://www.autokroma.com/Vizual

please add nearest neighbour scaling to premiere pro, i really need to upscale my pixel arts properly

Hey everyone ! Please contact us on our website and tell us how you would like to use this feature in Premiere Pro ! https://www.autokroma.com/contact

plz im trying to scale up pixels and they look like yak i know your thing is hIqUaLiTy but clearly there is a need for NN at least

here to comment yet again that this is a very much needed feature

Yet another game trailer editor here! Currently I have to scale in Premiere to the size I want then dynamically link the footage to AE to take advantage of NN for pixel art footage.

Because this thread on the issue is seeing some attention lately, I want to toss my hat in the ring yet again. I'm working a lot with retro footage in my content production and had to resort to up-scaling with VirtualDub because of the lack of a nearest neighbor option in Premiere.

@Francis Crossman: I'm sure this had been pointed out elsewhere but it seems that you don't understnd the problem we're having: It's not about (detail-enhnacing) upscaling, it's about doubling the pixels that are in the footage explicitly *without* interpolation.

Another game trailer editor here! Working on games with pixel art means frequently having to go back and forth between After Effects and Premiere; it can be laborious and troublesome especially when things don't link up well.

An option for nearest neighbor scaling in Premiere would be a game changer and make things so much easier for myself, my game trailer making colleagues and the tons of people out there making videos for their pixel art games!

As a game trailer editor, I work with pixel art and this nearest-neighbor scaling would ease and speed up work a lot.

Game trailer editor here! I work on pixel game trailers all the time where a bit of nearest neighbor on motion-scaled shots would save me hours of my life! Please add this to the next version of Premiere, Adobe. Pretty please!

At that point someone should just make a plugin (:

Detail Preserving Upscale and High-quality interpolation are useless when you're trying to retain the exact same image and just make it appear larger. Particularly for the sprite art I work with which originally is at maybe 16x16 or 32x32 pixels, upscaling with anything except nearest neighbour causes issues with blurriness and warping on the edges. And as far as I can see, there's no reason not to add more scaling options. It shouldn't exactly be hard, having at least a few scaling options is standard in image editing software, and should be for video editing software too.

add this already
