How to upscale your videos to higher resolutions in Hedra. Use Video Upscaling to increase the resolution and detail of your video outputs.
Upscaling makes videos sharper, improves clarity, and enhances visual quality — especially when exporting for larger displays.

What Upscaling Does

Video upscaling:
  • Increases resolution (e.g., 720p → 1080p)
  • Improves visual detail
  • Reduces blur in motion
  • Enhances fine features
Upscaling applies an AI-based enhancement step after your video is generated.

When to Use Upscale

Use Upscale when: ✔ You want higher resolution output
✔ You are preparing content for large screens
✔ Your original video is low resolution
✔ You want smoother, clearer visuals
Upscaling is optional — use it only when you need a higher fidelity result.

How to Upscale a Video

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Video You Want to Upscale

Go to your Studio or Video Library, and open the video you want to improve.

2. Click Upscale

Within the video controls, select the Upscale option. This opens the upscaling interface.

3. Choose Upscale Settings

  • Select the Target Resolution
    (e.g., 1080p, 2K, 4K)
  • Select the Upscale Model (if available)
Higher resolutions offer better quality but may take longer to process.

4. Start the Upscale

Click Generate or Start Upscale. The system will process the original video to create a new, upscaled version. Processing time varies based on:
  • Original resolution
  • Target resolution
  • Video length

5. Review and Download

Once complete:
  • Preview the upscaled video
  • Download or export the result
  • Compare with the original if needed

Tips for Best Results

  • Use source videos with clear frames
  • Avoid upscaling extremely low-res clips too far up (e.g., 240p → 4K)
  • Upscaling works best when the original quality is moderately high

Common Issues

Upscaled video looks blurry
➡ Upscaling cannot add detail that doesn’t exist in the source. Start with the highest quality original possible.
Upscale takes a long time
➡ Higher target resolutions require more processing.
Video artifacts appear
➡ Try a lower upscale target or regenerate.

What Happens After Upscaling

An upscaled video becomes a separate output file from the original.
Your original stays unchanged in the library.
