Handy for teams cleaning up AI-generated footage for 4K delivery; at about $1.39 to $1.98 per 10-second 1080p clip, budget per shot.
Kenning's take
What it does
FLUX Video Upscale takes a clip of up to 20 seconds from 480p upwards and regenerates it at up to 4K rather than stretching pixels. It fixes common flaws in generated video such as smudged faces and gridded textures. A Precise mode keeps faces and products as they are, while a Creative mode adds more invented detail.
- Upscale 1.5x to 3x, up to 4K
- Precise and Creative modes
- Repairs faces and texture artifacts
- Keeps the source audio
- Tuned for FLUX 3 Video output
Who it suits. Video teams and developers preparing AI or existing footage for high-resolution delivery.
