## FAQ

### What is MixVio AI Video Upscaler?

It is a finishing tool that enhances owned footage toward 1080p, 2K, or 4K for delivery. It does not create a new scene from a prompt — use Text to Video or Image to Video when you still need motion.

### How do I upscale a video?

Upload an owned MP4, MOV, or WebM video, choose 1080p, 2K, or 4K, review the credit quote, then select Enhance. Login is required before submission.

### What formats, length, and size are supported?

Upload owned MP4, MOV, WebM, or M4V videos up to 60 seconds and 200 MB. You get a private enhanced MP4 at 1080p, 2K, or 4K that keeps the source frame rate. Aspect ratio stays with the source. Targets requiring more than 4× enlargement are unavailable. Review source audio in the private export before publishing.

### Does upscaling recover true source detail, or just stretch the video?

No. MixVio reconstructs toward delivery resolution rather than simple stretch, but enhancement can introduce inferred detail. It cannot recover ground truth that was never in the source. Always inspect the private export before publishing.

### How do credits work?

Credits are quoted from duration and target resolution before you submit: 2 credits per second at 1080p, 6 at 2K or 4K; sources above 30 fps are quoted at twice the rate. Outputs larger than 1920×1080 are quoted at the 2K/4K rate. If the source frame rate cannot be verified, the quote uses the 60 fps rate. Video Upscaler is available on the Free plan when you have enough credits. Failed runs cost no credits.

### Can I use upscaled videos commercially?

Paid-plan outputs may be used commercially, subject to the Terms of Service and each model provider’s usage rules. You must have rights to the footage you upload. Free-plan outputs are for evaluation and are not for commercial publishing.

### Do I need to install software or use a local GPU?

No. Use MixVio from your browser; enhancement runs through MixVio’s private server-side provider workflow, so no local GPU is required. Preview samples without submitting, then upload when you are ready.

### Are uploads and results private?

Yes. Inputs and outputs remain private workspace assets. Signed URLs and asset IDs are not added to public page URLs or analytics.

### Should I restyle a video first or upscale it?

Use Video to Video when the take still needs an instruction restyle or recast. Use Video Upscaler when motion is already locked and you only need a sharper 1080p, 2K, or 4K export.
