### Alternative: Transform Button You can also upscale using the Transform button: 1. **Generate or import video** 2. **Click "Transform" button** - On video thumbnail 3. **Select upscaling model** 4. **Configure settings** 5. **Upscale**
### Supported Models | Model | Scale Factors | Output Codecs | Best For | | --------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------- | | **Topaz** | 1.5×, 2×, 3×, 4× | H.264, H.265 | Industry standard, professional | | **Flash VSR 2** | 1.5×, 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 8×, 10× | H.264, H.265, ProRes | Maximum control, ProRes output | | **Bria** | 2×, 4× | H.264, H.265 | High quality, up to 8K | ### Model-Specific Settings #### Topaz Video Upscaler **Scale Factors:** * 1.5×, 2×, 3×, or 4× **Output Codecs:** * H.264 (.mp4) * H.265 (.mp4) **Best for:** * Industry-standard upscaling * Professional workflows * Balanced quality/speed * General use **Characteristics:** * Reliable results * Good quality * Moderate processing time * Widely compatible #### Flash VSR 2 (SeedVR2) **Scale Factors:** * 1.5×, 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 8×, or 10× **Output Codecs:** * H.264 (.mp4) * H.265 (.mp4) * ProRes (various) **Output Quality:** * High * Balanced * Fast **Noise Scale:** * Adjustable (default: 0.1) **Best for:** * Maximum control * ProRes output needs * High scale factors (up to 10×) * Professional workflows **Characteristics:** * Maximum scale options * ProRes support * Fine-tuned control * Professional output #### Bria Video Increase Resolution **Scale Factors:** * 2× or 4× **Output Codecs:** * H.264 (.mp4) * H.265 (.mp4) **Best for:** * High-quality upscaling * Up to 8K resolution * Quality-focused workflows **Characteristics:** * High quality * Up to 8K support * Good for final delivery * Professional results ### Scale Factor Guidelines #### 1.5× Upscaling **Use when:** * Slight resolution increase * Quick enhancement * Maintaining file size * Minor quality boost **Example:** 720p → 1080p #### 2× Upscaling **Use when:** * Standard upscaling * Doubling resolution * Most common use case * Good balance **Example:** 1080p → 2160p (4K) #### 4× Upscaling **Use when:** * Significant increase * Preparing for large displays * Maximum quality * Professional delivery **Example:** 1080p → 4320p (8K) #### Higher Scale Factors (Flash VSR 2) **Use when:** * Extreme upscaling needed * Very low-res source * Maximum resolution * Specialized use cases **Example:** 720p → 7200p (10×) ### Use Cases #### Enhancing Generated Videos **Example:** * Generate video at 720p * Upscale to 1080p or 4K * Result: Higher resolution for delivery #### Restoring Low-Resolution Footage **Example:** * Import low-res video (e.g., 480p) * Upscale to 1080p or 4K * Result: Restored, enhanced quality #### Preparing for Large Displays **Example:** * Have 1080p video * Upscale to 4K or 8K * Result: Large display ready #### Professional Delivery **Example:** * Client requires 4K * Have 1080p source * Upscale to 4K with ProRes (Flash VSR 2) * Result: Professional delivery format ### Codec Selection #### H.264 **Best for:** * General use * Web delivery * Smaller file sizes * Wide compatibility **Characteristics:** * Good compression * Widely supported * Smaller files * Standard format #### H.265 (HEVC) **Best for:** * Better compression * Higher quality at same bitrate * Modern devices * Efficient storage **Characteristics:** * Better compression than H.264 * Higher quality * Smaller files * Modern codec #### ProRes (Flash VSR 2 only) **Best for:** * Professional workflows * Post-production * Maximum quality * Editing pipelines **Characteristics:** * Professional codec * High quality * Larger files * Editing-friendly ### Tips for Best Results 1. **Start with quality source** - Better input = better output 2. **Choose appropriate scale** - Don't over-upscale unnecessarily 3. **Match codec to use case** - H.264 for web, ProRes for editing 4. **Consider processing time** - Higher scales take longer 5. **Test different models** - Find what works best for your footage 6. **Check output quality** - Review upscaled result 7. **Plan for file size** - Higher resolution = larger files ### Common Workflows #### Quick Upscale 1. Have video 2. Click "Edit" or "Transform" 3. Select Topaz (fast, reliable) 4. Set 2× scale 5. Upscale 6. Done #### Professional Upscale 1. Have video 2. Click "Edit" 3. Select Flash VSR 2 4. Set 4× scale 5. Choose ProRes output 6. Set quality to High 7. Upscale 8. Professional result #### Maximum Quality 1. Have video 2. Click "Edit" 3. Select Bria 4. Set 4× scale (up to 8K) 5. Upscale 6. Maximum quality result ### Troubleshooting #### "Upscaling is too slow" **Solutions:** * Use lower scale factor * Try Topaz for faster results * Smaller videos upscale faster * Check internet connection #### "Quality not improved enough" **Solutions:** * Use higher scale factor * Try Bria for maximum quality * Ensure source video is good quality * Try Flash VSR 2 with ProRes #### "File size too large" **Solutions:** * Use H.264 instead of ProRes * Lower scale factor * Use H.265 for better compression * Consider delivery requirements #### "Upscaling not available" **Solutions:** * Ensure you have a video attached * Click "Edit" or "Transform" button * Check that upscaling models are available * Verify API keys are configured *** **Next:** Return to Video Editing Tools overview or explore other features. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
