Upscaling Ai videos

Hey everyone!

What are the best settings to upscale Ai-videos? Pika platform produce 1024 x 576 low quality compressed videos. What’s the best approach? Which model is best and settings for fix low quality, blurry, heavy compressed videos?

My settings at the moment:
Upscale to 4k
Motion Deblur
Proteus - Fine - Tune/Enhance
Recover Original Detail = 20
Encoder ProRes 422 Std

With these settings, 3 seconds video takes about 20 minutes rendering, with 361 MB file size, which is a lot of time and size. I have NVIDIA GTX 1080.

After that I downscale it using Davinci Resolve to 1080p to get better quality, then I bring it back to Topaz to enhance using Upscale to HD resolution to get better quality. Encoder H265 : Main10

Any better ways?

Thanks!

I am not sure if upscaling to 4 k is always necessary! :eyes:

Tbh, I still learning what’s the best method to do it, because Ai videos have great potentials if we could upscale them, do you suggested better workflow?

I wish I could upload a video here to show you …

Upload a video file to Google Drive or something and share the dowbload link here?

That is the source file? To which size do you want it to upscale?

Yes, At least 2k. I need it to look crisp and clean, professionally digested. I go for the 4k, hence down scaling a 4k to 1080 would result in a better results.

You have any tips?

I looked into your video file and wonder if you want it to be 3840 tall because it is tall not wide. :slight_smile:

Tall, vertical, portrait orientation … Yes, because I use it mainly for Instagram stories and reels.

I am still waiting for any tips from you if you have a any better settings or idea since 12 hours now :smiley:

I can’t tell if I have better settings because I dunno how your result looks like. I tried Iris first and then Iris with a 2nd step Proteus. Here are the results. :eyes:

Wow! Great results I see … Thanks for the efforts. I have questions to ask:
Which settings were for 1w1_chr2_iris2_prob3? both have the same name, different is the chr2. this one which is 15.5 is better result I see.

What Setup/GPU do you use, and how long it took you to render?

I can see great potentials here …

thanks!

I think one is 24 fps only and the other one 60 fps with Chronos, both with Iris and Proteus. Render time was a few seconds only.

Could you share with me all the settings for this one? even the encoding etc … it seems this is what I need to bring up best results…

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts! :tulip:

imo

was it similar in here by default?

ah, no. here are my settings:

Back to you!

I followed your exact settings and parameters, still I don’t get the same results … It’s obvious from the text on the lower right side. I did a comparison between yours and mine … there’s a difference, what do you think?

Even though I didn’t go for the extreme 4K … there’s a huge difference between our results … Can you share with me tips I might missed something because I followed your settings exactly.

Up is yours, down is mine.
