AI Video Upscaler to Real 4K

A 720p clip from an AI engine, or old phone footage, becomes real 4K: 2160 pixels on the short side of the frame, measured from the file itself. The model rebuilds skin, hair, fabric and text and keeps faces as they are, which is what an AI video needs before it goes on a big screen or a client reel.

Why AI video needs an upscale

Most video engines deliver 720p or 1080p because it is faster and cheaper. On a phone that looks fine. On YouTube on a large screen, in a screening or in a portfolio, you see smeared skin, hair that melts into a blob and broken text. A plain upscale only enlarges pixels. A restoration model like Starlight understands what is in the frame and rebuilds detail that looks right, without swapping the face for someone else's.

How to get the best result

Upload the clean original, not a version already exported with a filter, captions or a social network's compression. An upscale cannot bring back what a filter destroyed. If you need captions, upscale first and caption after. Best mode is the sharpest and slowest, roughly one to two minutes per second of video. Fast mode is softer and quicker, at the same price.

What it costs in practice

A 5-second shot costs 5 credits. A 30-second film costs 30. The system measures the real length of the file and bills on that, so the price you see before confirming is the price you pay. If the upscale fails, the credits come back.

Common questions

Does it work on phone footage, not only AI video?

Yes. Starlight is built to restore both real footage and AI video. It works best on an original file that has not been through WhatsApp or Instagram compression.

What is the difference between Best and Fast?

Best runs on Starlight Precise 2.5 and rebuilds more detail, and takes longer. Fast runs on Proteus and is quicker and softer. The price is the same.

What happens if a generation fails?

A generation that fails for a technical reason returns its credits to your balance automatically. It is code that runs on every job, not a request you have to send.

Can I do this from inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Connect Cadabra once and ask in plain words in the chat. The chat shows the price, waits for your yes, and the result comes back to the same conversation and is saved to your gallery.
