Video Upscaler

Video Upscaler isn't one model doing everything. Proteus and Artemis handle general live-action, Nyx is tuned for noisy and low-light sources, Gaia and its newer Gaia 2 handle animation and CG, and Starlight is reserved for high-end work. Picking the right one matters more than the resolution you pick, since a mismatched model can leave artifacts you'll notice on a large display even when the pixel count looks correct.

The tool analyzes edges, textures, and visible structures in each frame rather than interpolating pixels. That's the difference between a clip that looks bigger and one that looks sharper. Flat resizing can't add detail that was never captured; this approach infers and rebuilds it.

Footage from social platforms arrives pre-damaged by compression. The restoration models reduce that blocky noise and low-bitrate softness, which is often the most visible win for casual users. If your source is old camera footage, this is where the improvement shows up first, because the noise that made the original look cheap is usually the same thing keeping fine detail from being readable on a larger screen.

For gaming clips, sports, and fast motion, you can target 60fps output for smoother playback. It doubles the credit rate for that export. That's a deliberate trade-off, not a default. Talking-head and product videos usually don't need it.

You choose between 720p, 1080p, and 4K-level exports, each at a different credit cost per second. That means you can upscale video to 4K only when the destination needs it. Web previews don't need 4K. Archives often do.

Every plan runs on credits drawn per processed video second, and the exact burn depends on resolution, model, frame rate, and clip length. Basic includes 500 credits, Pro 1,000, and Ultimate 4,300. It's predictable once you know your typical clip length. Skip the guesswork. Check the credit table before a big batch.
