Frequently Asked Questions

Can it upscale a clip to 1080p, 2K, or 4K?

Yes. `upscale_video` can target common HD and 4K outputs or scale up by a factor when you need a bigger master.

How do I choose the right model?

`list_models` shows the available video upscalers so you can pick one for general footage, faces, AI-generated clips, or old film.

What kind of footage works best?

The tool is tuned for regular footage, face-heavy shots, AI-generated video, and older material that needs noise reduction and texture recovery.

What comes back after the job finishes?

You get a downloadable upscaled video plus the model used, so it is easy to compare results or rerun the job with a different setting.
