Answers.Body: <p>If you're asking whether you can use AE to increase the actual or apparent resolution of a low-res source, the answer is no. You can't create resolution where none exists. If you could, no one would ever spend money on hi-res cameras. </p>

  If you're asking whether you can use AE to increase the actual or apparent resolution of a low-res source, the answer is no. You can't create resolution where none exists. If you could, no one would ever spend money on hi-res cameras.
  
  What you can do is 'sharpen' an image, which increases the contrast of edge detail and *may* increase apparent resolution a little bit. But this doesn't increase actual resolution; it actually reduces it slightly.
