Topaz upscale prices
The price depends on two things: how big the clip is after upscaling, and how long it is. In dollars, in the Root app. 100 credits is $1.
| Size after upscaling | 5 s clip | 10 s clip | 30 s clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 720p | $0.06 | $0.12 | $0.35 |
| Above 720p, up to 1080p | $0.12 | $0.23 | $0.69 |
| Above 1080p (4K) | $0.46 | $0.92 | $2.76 |
A 720p clip made 2x bigger comes out above 1080p, and so does a 1080p clip made 2x bigger. Before a run, Root shows the price for the largest size; you pay for the clip's real size, which is never more.
What the upscale does
- Makes a clip 2x or 4x bigger with Topaz's video upscaler.
- Keeps the clip's sound.
- Works on clips you made in Root and on clips you upload.
- Saves the upscaled clip in your project, so the original is still there.
How to upscale a video with Topaz in Root
- Open the clip. Open a project and pick the clip, or add an Edit Video node and wire the clip into it.
- Choose Upscale. Topaz is already selected as the upscaler. Pick 2x or 4x.
- Check the price. The price for the clip's length shows before you run it, at the largest size. You pay for the size the clip really comes out at.
- Run it. The upscaled clip lands in your project when it's done.
