AI Video Upscaler
The last bench in the townhouse-doorway studio: locked clips rebuilt for the biggest screen they will meet.
The video upscaler raises the resolution of a finished clip with frame-consistent reconstruction — the detail it adds in frame one is the detail it keeps in frame ninety, so faces and fabrics do not shimmer as they move. At 101 credits it is the most expensive bench in the townhouse-doorway studio, priced by the target resolution and the length of the clip, and it is unapologetically a last step.
Its place in the order of operations is fixed: generate or animate, recast if the face needs it, lock the cut, and only then upscale. Every credit spent here on a clip that later changes is spent twice.
Review discipline matters more here than at any other bench, because this bench defects are temporal. A paused frame can look immaculate while the playing clip shimmers at a collar or crawls along a window frame. Judge the result the way its audience will meet it — moving, at full size, at the placement it was bought for — and a finishing spend stays what it should be: the last one.
How it works here
Lock the cut
Motion approved, face final, length final. The upscaler is not an editing stage.
Set the destination
The screen the clip will play on decides the target. A feed loop and a gallery feature wall are different budgets.
Upscale and review in motion
Price shown before the job runs. Judge it playing, not paused: shimmer and edge crawl only exist in motion.
Where it earns its keep
Clips that play large
Gallery headers and showcase slots expose every soft edge a small feed forgives.
The closer, finished
The last clip of a set carries the production value of the whole series; finish it like it does.
Small clip, bigger stage
A teaser made for a feed, promoted to a banner placement without reshooting.
Example briefs
The promoted teaser
A three-second loop that performed in the feed, upscaled once for the profile banner. Same clip, bigger stage, one finishing spend.
The finale finish
A locked twelve-frame sequence: face swap first, cut approved, then a single upscale pass reviewed in motion.
Settings that matter
| Arrival state | Locked clips only — any later change discards the upscale |
|---|---|
| Target resolution | Set by the destination screen, not by appetite |
| Length | Price follows duration as well as resolution; the exact figure precedes confirmation |
| Review | Always in motion — paused frames hide the artefacts that matter |
Failure modes & fixes
- Shimmer. Inconsistent detail across frames sparkles on textured clothing. Fix: upscale from the cleanest source render and review the busiest garment
- Edge crawl. High-contrast borders vibrate in motion. Fix: prefer clips with simpler backgrounds for large placements
- Finishing an unfinished clip. Recasting or re-cutting after upscaling doubles the spend. Fix: enforce the order — swap, lock, upscale
- Buying resolution nobody sees. A feed-sized placement does not need a wall-sized file. Fix: let the destination set the target
FAQ
What does a video upscale cost?
101 credits per job, priced against target resolution and length, and shown in full before you confirm.
Why is it the dearest bench?
Every frame is reconstructed and kept consistent with its neighbours; the compute is real, and the price says so in the open.
Can I upscale a clip I uploaded?
Your own clips, yes. Clips containing other adults follow the consent rules of the photo benches.
Upscale or re-animate?
If the motion itself disappoints, re-animate — upscaling sharpens the performance you have, it does not improve it.
What if the job fails?
Failed jobs refund automatically, in full.
