ByteDance video upscaler now outputs 4K at 60fps
ByteDance has released a video upscaling model that reconstructs detail and improves visual quality in low-resolution video, capable of upscaling to 4K at 60fps. The model, available via an API on Replicate, offers different processing tiers and scene-based enhancement presets for various content types, including AI-generated video and real-people footage. Pricing is determined per second of output video and varies by processing tier, resolution, and frame rate.
Key Takeaways
- Replicate lists two tiers: standard and pro, with pro requiring BytePlus account whitelisting.
- The model targets 4K resolution at 60fps, with frame interpolation applied when the output fps exceeds the source.
- Scene presets include aigc, short_series, ugc, old_film, and common.
- Pricing is billed per second of output video and varies by tier, resolution, and fps band.
- The README says a 5-second clip typically takes 3–5 minutes end-to-end.
Why It Matters
ByteDance is packaging spatial upscaling and frame interpolation into a single API call, which makes 480p, 720p, or 1080p source video easier to turn into 2K or 4K deliverables. The explicit presets for AIGC, short-form drama, UGC, and old film show it is aimed at multiple streaming video workflows, not just generative clips. One concrete signal to watch is how the pricing table and the pro-only whitelist shape actual usage, especially at 4K and 60fps where costs are highest.
