HI THERE!! 

I'm super excited to share with you the OFFICIAL music video (the Director's Cut one to be precise) of Hold It Against Me in 4K 60FPS!! 

And you know what? There's NO more ads placements scenes, and have more uncut/dance scenes!! 

HD 1080p VEVO Version:

4K 2160p 60FPS (my version):

 

I hope you enjoy!! 

UPDATE: The video is blocked worldwide, I will have to edit it to let it on YouTube so it will be out again soon. I suggest you to enjoy other Britney music videos upscaled in 4K, my latest ones:

I cant wait to use this on my next fanmade video! 

The quality is superb, its sharp, crisp and the saturation is balanced. 

I love you and your upscaled videos

Yeah, I adjusted a little the colors to be more accurate and essentially because the colors on the official weren't good (Britney were too white or idk), I didn't only adjusted the saturation, but tried to play around the gamma, chroma, RGB colors, contrasts, etc. to have a polished result than a regular saturation. I was afraid that people wouldn't like but hopefully, it seems that people liked so yeah, thank you so much!

I wonder why this music video is underrated and hated by people. I mean, the fight scene is ICONIC, as well for the giant tower of screens where all iconic music videos are displayed, this tower is beautiful...

It’s a great concept but clearly Britney wasn’t that in to this era and looked exhausted mentally and spiritually

I agree, she wasn't at her best, maybe the Circus era energy would fit more this music video, even if some people find the concept of the music video just awful where I don't understand (but respect) why.

I hate how much her videos are so compressed, low quality but you're doing magic. Thanks.

Actually, VEVO didn't uploaded in true 1080p on YouTube due to bitrates limitations. But even the Director's Mastered 1080p video (uncompressed, the size is 5GB lol it's so huge) is awful:

1080P Mastered Version (+5GB)

Thank you. I absolutely love this music video. It is my second favorite of hers, behind only Toxic

It is from the Pro-Res archive? Looks like an actual 1080p YouTube video.

The Blu-Ray rip looks way better

Yes it was from the 5GB ProRes Master. Yeah the Blu-Ray version is actually better than the Master but idk why but it has noises on the Blu-Ray version

What program did you use? I’ve been trying to upscale some of her older performances that are in a lower quality

Gigapixel AI with some corrections made on After Effects. You need a powerful computer with an expensive GPU (nVidia GPUs are advised), it can take easily a day or more for a 4 minutes video so if you don't have a powerful computer it will take forever. Also, I advise you to upscale only good quality videos, because you wont have good results on 240p, 360p, or bad 480p videos, in general, you will have better results by upscaling an SD video to HD and HD to 4K (rather than SD to 4K). That's why I will do If U Seek Amy in HD instead of 4K.

Noted! I’ve been using some sort of trial with Topaz to improve the quality of her Florida dwad show. It’s been over a week and only halfway through 😂😂😂

frames look hit or miss cause of the original quality, but atleast a lot of the pixels are gone. Definitely a learning experience tho

Yeah at first, it was just some experiences where I learn how to use those softwares and wanted to share them on YT, then people asked me for more so I always learn new methods to improve more the videos.

Maybe the director try to get some movie effect in it 

I'm glad that I downloaded the Blu-Ray rip instead of the Pro-Res

All those directors who try to make the old movies effects on their music videos... Essentially when the music video have a futuristic/high technology look...I don’t understand him... 

Okay, why not for My Prerogative, but actually, I don’t understand why they added that film grain on Do Somethin’, If U Seek Amy, HIAM, etc.
