    FFrom print? You can't. Video doesn't have a dpi resolution. You need an app like Photo Zoom Pro to uprez the image.

    To be more clear perhaps, video is video, it's not an image. If you shoot at standard definition, that's as good as it gets. If you shoot at 1080, you will have about 1080 horizontal lines of pixels. At 300dpi that's a print that's less than six inches tall. If you shoot 4k, you get around 3900 lines of pixels. That prints 12-18 inches before the pixels fall apart. As Tom says, you can use uprising software or tools inside Photoshop but your expectations need to come down a few notches.
