Upscale Video
Upscale video resolution using Topaz or VEO AI.
Overview
The Video Upscale node enhances video resolution using AI upscaling. Choose between Topaz (factor-based scaling with quality enhancement) or VEO (fixed target resolutions). Unlike most processing nodes, upscaling uses AI processing.
Configuration
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provider | Select | topaz | Upscaling engine |
Topaz Options
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upscale Factor | Select | 2 | 1x (enhance only), 2x (recommended), 4x (maximum) |
VEO Options
Select target resolution: 1080p or 4K.
VEO upscale only works on a video that a VEO node generated earlier in the same workflow. It re-renders that generation at the higher resolution rather than processing a file, so an uploaded video, or a clip from any other model, cannot feed it. Wire the VEO node’s video output straight into this node. For every other video, choose the Topaz provider.
The node card names the selected provider (“VEO 1080p Upscale”, “Topaz 2x Upscale”), and a run with a VEO provider and no VEO source is refused before any credits are reserved, with a message that says to connect the VEO node or switch to Topaz.
Inputs & Outputs
Inputs: Video (required). With a VEO provider it must come from a VEO generation node in this workflow. Outputs: Upscaled video
Best Practices
- VEO 1080p is a good option for moderate upscaling
- Use Topaz 2x for highest quality results
- Upscale after all other processing is complete to avoid re-processing at higher resolution
- 1x Topaz (enhance) improves quality without changing resolution
Common Use Cases
- Upscale AI-generated 480p/720p video to 1080p for publishing
- Enhance video quality before final delivery
- Prepare content for high-resolution displays or large screens
Tips
- Upscaling works best on clean source video — apply noise reduction or effects before upscaling
- VEO 4K is the highest-quality option — only use for final deliverables that truly need 4K
- Topaz 1x enhance is great for improving quality without changing dimensions
