Does final cut pro have upscaling feature? Whats the maximum final cut pro can upscale to? Does it support 8K upscaling? Also does it have adding HDR effect to non HDR videos? If so, what HDR formats are supported?
Yup can upscale video to 8K and you can make custom sizes larger than that. However, upscaling 1080 to 8K will probably look like garbage. What is it you want to do?
I would suggest you download the free trial version and test it with your media.
From what I can tell... upscaling in FCPX is automatic (and rather good!) You may run into trouble when you start adding effects in 8K (or for any upscaled clip of any project size). If you notice the image/clip soften, remove the effects, wrap it in a compound clip and apply the effects to the compound clip instead.
I imagine you may notice differences if the monitor you're watching is actually 8x a regular sized (HD) monitor (27-40 inches). For the most part, I don't think most people are hyper-critical videophiles and would ever even notice the difference, especially on standard sized monitors. However, if your target is a movie theater sized display, then you may have a problem going from 1080 to 8K... You'd probably need to shoot 4K (2K at the very least) to get a decent upscaling.

There IS a difference but you be the judge...
It can upscale many 100s of percent, if you really want to do that. How much you can upscale really depends on your media and the content.
Not sure what you mean by 8K upscale. How big do you want the image to be?
Yes, it has HDR tools. The supported formats are listed on the tech specs page.
Sounds like you’re stuck with a multi step process, converting the video to Rec 709, then upscaling, which is a tedious process. You could also edit in 1080 or whatever your media and format is, and then send the high res master to your video enhancer to upscale it.

Because you’re scaling your 1080 pixels up like 700%, so you’re going to have blocks instead of pixels. There is some smoothing, but it’s not going to be great. Why don’t you try it? It’s a free download, good for 90 days, no credit card needed.
More pixels are added but it can’t guess the necessary gradient for the enlarged area do you tend to get blotchy area, but it really does dependent on the original format and the content and its complexity. If the starting codec is H.264 for instance, the is almost hopeless as there is really no information for many of the frames, the content is extrapolated from adjacent frames and you’re essentially repeating frames, which makes the scaling even more blotchy.
Then should use Topaz Video Enhancer to upscale your video before you edit it.
Yes, FCP supports DolbyVision used in iPhones, with HDR tolls to convert it to Rec 709.
I was meaning can it upscale videos up to 8k resolution and what is the maximum resolution it can upscale to?
Why would upscaling 1080p to 8k look garbage? There is a Mac app called topaz video enhancer that does a good job. I want to upscale and I would like to know if it supports Dolby vision.
Okay the reason why I didn’t want to do that it’s because it doesn’t support HDR
Why is upscaling 1080p to 8k garbage?
Upscaling is equivalent to polishing a tu*d.
I thought what happens in upscaling is that they add more pixels and guess the right color of the pixels.
