Download [_Unsqueeze_](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6475134617?pt=120542042\u0026ct=github\u0026mt=8) today! \ud83d\udd25\n\n## Usage\n```\nUSAGE: fx-upscale \u003curl\u003e [--width \u003cwidth\u003e] [--height \u003cheight\u003e]\n\nARGUMENTS:\n  \u003curl\u003e                   The video file to upscale\n\nOPTIONS:\n  -w, --width \u003cwidth\u003e     The output file width\n  -h, --height \u003cheight\u003e   The output file height\n  -h, --help              Show help information.\n```\n- If width and height are specified, they will be used for the output dimensions\n- If only 1 of width or height is specified, the other will be inferred proportionally\n- If neither width nor height is specified, the video will be upscaled by 2x\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e When upscaling videos to \u003e4k, `.mp4` files will be converted to `.mov` and `h264` or `hevc` codecs will be re-encoded as `proRes422`.  This is due to the fact that macOS struggles to play back \u003e4k video `h264` and `hevc` files, and `h264` and `hevc` codecs only support up to ~8k.  If you have a use case for creating \u003e4k `h264`/`hevc` `.mp4`\u0027s, please open an issue.\n\n## Installation\n### Homebrew\n```bash\nbrew install finnvoor/tools/fx-upscale\n```\n\n### Mint\n```bash\nmint install finnvoor/fx-upscale\n```\n\n### Manual\nDownload the latest release from [releases](https://github.com/Finnvoor/MetalFXUpscale/releases).\n\n#### `ffmpeg` upscaling vs `fx-upscale`\n\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/finnvoor/fx-upscale/assets/8284016/7ae867c2-caef-43d8-8fe3-7048c55f55bd\" width=\"800\" /\u003e\n",
