FLUX Video Upscale is live on Skiprr
Black Forest Labs' upscaler takes a video you already have and returns the same footage at up to three times the resolution, to a ceiling of about 4K. It does not generate anything new. It is in the model picker for any Skiprr video production that starts from an attached video.
Every other model in these announcements makes something. This one does not. FLUX Video Upscale takes a clip that already exists and gives it back larger and sharper: same length, same framing, same content, more pixels. Black Forest Labs built it on the FLUX super-resolution work, and it is now in Skiprr.
The reason it matters is practical. A lot of good video comes out of the fast, inexpensive models at 720p or thereabouts. That is fine on a phone and soft on anything bigger. Until now the choice was to render again on a dearer model and lose the take you liked, or to live with it.
What it does to a label
We gave it the five second product clip from the Wan 3 announcement, a square render 960 pixels on a side, and asked for twice the size. Here is the same frame from both, cropped to the same patch of the label and shown at the same scale.
The letters have edges. The paper has a grain it only hinted at before. What did not change is what it says: the words, the spacing and the weight of the type are the ones in the source. That is the point of the mode we used.
Precise, and why it is the default
The model has two modes. Precise preserves the source and sharpens it. Creative restores and invents fine detail more freely, which suits generated scenery and textures and is the wrong choice for a face or a product, because invented detail on a label is a different label.
What an agency upscales is nearly always a client's product or a person, so Skiprr runs it in precise mode at twice the size unless told otherwise. Black Forest Labs ship it with creative as the default. We changed that on purpose.
How it is charged
An upscale costs by how much picture it produces: the size of the output frame multiplied by the length of the clip. So the credits grow with the square of the factor. Three times the size is more than double the cost of two times, and a large source costs more than a small one.
Skiprr cannot know the size or the length of your footage until the file has been opened, so the estimate you see before you launch assumes the dearest common case: a full 1080p source, 20 seconds long. The charge afterwards is for what was actually produced, which for a short clip is a good deal less. Only a source larger than 1080p can cost more than the estimate.
How to run it in Skiprr
Start a video production, attach the clip as the video to transform, and pick FLUX Video Upscale in the model picker. There is nothing to write: the model takes no direction, and nothing in a prompt changes the result. The source needs to be an mp4 of 20 seconds or less, under 50MB, and no larger than 2560 by 1440.
One thing to know about delivery. The upscaled clip appears in the thread at its full resolution, and that file is the one to download. A stitched final cut from a production is assembled at 1080p, so use the upscaler as the last step on a clip, not as a step before editing.
