Video enhancement

AI video upscaler for sharper 4K-ready clips

Improve creator footage, generated video, and compressed clips before publishing or presenting them to clients.

Upscale a videoBuy video credits

Sharper motion detail

Improve clarity while respecting temporal consistency across frames.

Useful for generated video

Clean up short AI-generated clips before posting, editing, or sending to clients.

Credit packs for heavier jobs

Video processing consumes more credits, so the pricing CTA opens one-time packs directly.

Best for

Use this workflow when a video is worth publishing but looks too soft or compressed.

4K video delivery decision guide

Use 4K only when the final sequence earns its extra cost

A 4K frame contains more pixels, but the audience experiences a timed sequence after editing, encoding, network delivery, and display scaling. The correct test is whether 4K preserves useful detail and motion in the final path better than a lower-cost 1080p or 2K output. Start with the hardest representative segment and compare matched results before processing a full program.

Build a sample that exposes motion and compression risk

Choose a segment containing a cut, pan, camera shake, fast subject, small face, hair, foliage, fence, fabric, text, logo, gradient, low-light noise, and the strongest compression found in the source. Keep the exact start and end time for every comparison. A calm close-up may pass while the action sequence fails, so do not select a flattering sample simply because it processes well.

Use the highest-quality lawful master and correct deinterlacing, cadence, stabilization, crop, color, and audio problems in an editor when those are the actual defects. Upscaling cannot restore clipped sound, missing frames, factual text, or detail destroyed by motion blur. Repeatedly processing a social-media download can amplify block boundaries and invented texture that the final platform then compresses again.

Compare 1080p, 2K, and 4K in the real viewing environment

Run matched samples at the resolutions that the destination accepts. Compare at normal speed and equal display size, then inspect selected frames. Review faces, text, edges, flicker, ghosting, shimmer, gradients, noise, scene cuts, and crop. A 4K file may look sharper at close zoom while adding no visible benefit at normal distance, or it may reveal unstable generated detail that a smaller output hides.

Test the actual codec, bitrate, frame rate, audio setting, captions, player, network profile, and platform recompression. Verify duration, aspect ratio, sync, seeking, and compatibility in the editing system. Standard and Pro are separate processing routes, not guaranteed quality levels; compare the same segment if Pro is under consideration. Approve the least expensive route and resolution that passes the final sequence review.

Budget by approved minutes and delivery variants

Credits use server-verified duration and target resolution with a five-second minimum and a ten-minute maximum per job. Divide longer programs at sensible edit boundaries and remember that every segment is submitted and charged separately. Estimate the full project from the matched sample, then include failed outputs, revised edits, alternate aspect ratios, language versions, captions, and the possibility that only selected hero shots need 4K.

Record source version, timestamps, route, resolution, displayed estimate, task ID, result dimensions, audio choice, reviewer, defects, and final export outcome. Download approved files promptly and preserve the original and project archive. Uploaded footage passes through managed storage and an external provider, so use the minimum necessary segment for confidential work and confirm that you have permission to process every person, asset, soundtrack, and location shown.

4K delivery approval checklist

  • The sample contains the hardest motion, faces, text, texture, gradients, noise, cuts, and compression in the source.
  • Matched 1080p, 2K, and 4K outputs are compared at equal viewing size and through final encoding and playback.
  • Duration, aspect ratio, frame behavior, audio sync, captions, seeking, crop, and platform recompression pass review.
  • Credits are budgeted by approved minutes and variants, with source, timestamps, route, task ID, reviewer, and rights recorded.

What to decide before spending video credits

Video cost is driven by verified duration and target resolution, not by the filename or the estimate stored in the browser. The tool offers 720p, 1080p, 2K, and 4K targets, applies a five-second billing minimum, and accepts no more than ten minutes in one job. A higher output resolution increases the charge but cannot guarantee that blur, compression, generated detail, faces, text, or fast motion will improve.

Begin with a short segment that includes the hardest material in the source: a scene cut, face, title card, camera move, fine pattern, low-light area, or compression damage. Compare Standard and Pro using the same segment if you are considering the higher-cost route. Pro is a separate processing profile rather than a promise of studio quality, and either route can perform differently from clip to clip.

Before submission, the interface shows an estimated customer price in credits. The server then checks the remote media metadata, duration, requested resolution, and available balance before creating the job. Processing time changes with source, duration, output size, provider capacity, and queue conditions, so there is no fixed turnaround guarantee. Longer footage must be divided and each segment submitted, charged, reviewed, and downloaded separately.

The workflow can request audio passthrough, but you should verify picture, sync, audio, frame rate, and playback in your own editor after download. Keep the original and project files. Uploads pass through managed storage and an external AI processing provider; public HTTPS links must be reachable by the service. Submit only material you may lawfully process, remove unnecessary confidential or personal content, and consult the privacy policy for current retention criteria.

Practical boundaries

  • Standard and Pro results vary; test rather than assuming the higher-priced route is better.
  • The ten-minute maximum is per job and the five-second minimum applies to every submitted segment.
  • There is no customer-facing video API or automatic multi-file batch workflow.
  • The server-verified duration and resolution determine the authoritative credit charge.

4K video upscaling workflow

Process a short clip first, then scale up to batches when the result matches the project.

  1. 01

    Upload the original asset

    Start from the highest-quality file you still have. JPG, PNG, WEBP, and common video formats are supported by the matching tool.

  2. 02

    Choose the right enhancement mode

    Use image upscaling for stills and video upscaling for motion. Credit packs fund several jobs, but each file is submitted and reviewed individually.

  3. 03

    Review and export

    Check edges, faces, textures, text, and compression artifacts before downloading. The output still needs human approval for its intended use.

Before publishing, check

Video quality depends on both detail and frame-to-frame stability.

  • Faces and hands remain stable through motion
  • Edges do not shimmer during camera movement
  • The output resolution fits the platform and editing timeline

Start with a clip, then buy video credits

Test one short video. If the enhancement holds up, use credit packs for longer clips or a batch of exports.
