Upscale a video to a higher resolution

You do not upscale the finished file. You upscale the videos of its shots in the editor, then render the video again.

Upscale or Export format

• Upscale works on the video of one shot. It makes a new video take at 1080p, 2K, or 4K.
• Export format is in the Render and export window. It sets the size of the file: Current default is 1080p, and the other formats are 2K or 4K. It does not change your shots. The render scales each shot to the size of the file.

With Current default, the file is 1080p, also when you upscaled shots to 2K or 4K.

Which plans have them

• Upscale: Pro, Creator, Creator Max, Studio, and Studio Max. The legacy Starter and Plus plans do not have it. There, the button opens Upgrade to Upscale Videos.
• Export format: Creator, Creator Max, Studio, and Studio Max. Without it, the list does not show.

See Compare plans and upgrade.

Upscale one shot

1. Open the video in the editor: in My Videos, select Edit.
2. Select the shot's image. The shot viewer opens.
3. At the top of the viewer, choose Video or Image & Video.
4. Select Upscale.
5. Choose 1080p, 2K, or 4K. You can choose only a resolution above the one the video has now.
6. Choose the FPS (30 fps or 60 fps) and the Quality (Basic or Better).
7. Check the price on the Upscale button, then select it.

The app shows Upscaling started and works in the background. The result is a new video take of the shot.

The shot must have a video, and the video can be up to 180 seconds long. When a video is already at 4K, the Upscale button is off.

Upscale several shots

1. Move the pointer over a shot and select its circle. Do this for each shot you want. A bar opens.
2. Select Upscale in the bar.
3. Choose the resolution, the FPS, and the Quality. The window tells you when it skips a shot that is too long, is already at that resolution, or is still processing.
4. Check the price on Start upscaling, then select it.

The price

• The price in credits shows on the button before you confirm.
• It depends on the length of the video, the resolution, the FPS, and the quality. A higher resolution, 60 fps, and Better each cost more.
• If an upscale fails, its credits come back, and you can upscale the shot again.
• A 2K or 4K Export format costs extra credits for each render. The list shows the amount, and you pay it only when the render succeeds.

Animate again at a higher resolution

Re-animate makes a new video from the shot's image, so the motion is new too. Upscale keeps the video you have.

In the Re-animate box, the buttons under the box set the preset and the resolution. Mini has 480p only. Fast and Pro go up to 1080p. Ultra goes up to 4k. The cost shows on the button. See Fix one shot.

Put the result in your video

1. Select Export.
2. If some shots have a lower resolution than the others, the window warns you that they can look soft. To fix this, upscale or animate those shots at a higher resolution. The warning does not stop the render.
3. Choose the Quality and, if your plan has it, the Export format.
4. Select Render video.
