Nearest Neighbor Video Resize?

[jenna12]

Hi,

I've been trying to solve this problem for days. Essentially what I need to do is very simple. I need to "stretch" the width of a video using a Nearest Neighbor resize like Photoshop uses. I cannot seem to find any tool to do this nor a suitable function within Premiere.

Just so there's no confusion regarding my slightly irregular question; I've created an example in Photoshop of exactly what is desired.





No filters, blurring or blending. Every ~15th pixel is simply doubled.

Thanks for any help,
- J

There's a nearest neighbour resize filter in Virtualdub; can you use this with your video format? Alternatively PointResize(clip clip, int target_width, int target_height) in avisynth uses a nearest neighbour algorithm.

Nevermind, misread the question. By the way, do you realize that after converting to any of the high compression codecs the YV12 chroma subsampling will ruin your nice checkerboard pattern?
