The two upscale models

Full detail: Upscale models catalog.
ModelApproachBest for
UpscalerSimple, non-creative enlargement. One setting: ×2 or ×4.Final-pass output prep. Predictable. Use when the input is already what you want, just the wrong size.
Creative UpscalerPartially reconstructs while upscaling. Adds detail, fixes artifacts. Many settings.Recovering low-res input, removing artifacts, restoration work.

Creative Upscaler — the key setting

The most important Creative Upscaler setting is Denoise:
  • 0.3 — light reconstruction. Small detail boost without disturbing the original much. Safe default.
  • 0.5–0.6 — moderate. Adds visible detail.
  • 0.7–0.8 — heavy reconstruction. For restoring damaged, blurry, or low-res input. Output deviates noticeably from the source.

When to upscale

Upscaling is usually a final pass:
  1. Validate the look in Modify Frame.
  2. Render at 1280 with Mago Transform or Style Transfer.
  3. Click Edit this Render on the final track.
  4. Switch to Upscale → Upscaler ×2 for 2560 output, or Creative Upscaler if reconstruction is desired.
⚠️ Warning — Upscaling lower-quality input directly is wasteful. Fix the look first, then upscale.
