How much does the video enhancer API cost?

Pricing is output_seconds × tool_version × resolution_bucket × fps_tier. Standard 720P at ≤ 30 fps is the floor; every step up in resolution or to professional doubles the rate. > 30 fps doubles the per-second price within the same tier.

Does the video enhancer API change the video duration?

No. enhance-video-1.0 keeps the output length identical to the source. The fps parameter controls smoothness via frame interpolation, not duration. Billing uses the probed source-video length.

What are tool_version standard and professional in the video enhancer API?

standard runs ~10 frequently used algorithms balanced for cost. professional runs 30+ deep AI algorithms for shot-level enhancement at roughly 10× the credits and 30+× the source duration in processing time.

What input formats does the video enhancer API accept?

Public HTTP/HTTPS URLs to mp4, mov, mkv, avi, flv, ts, wmv, and similar mainstream containers. Files up to 10 GB. Input resolution up to 2K (short side ≤ 1440 px). Base64 / data: URIs are rejected.

Does the video enhancer API support idempotent retries?

Yes. Pass client_token (≤ 64 ASCII chars) on submit. Retrying with the same token returns the original task_id instead of creating a new task — same as Stripe-style idempotency.

Where is the full video enhancer API reference?

The full parameter list, error codes, and runnable cURL examples live at /docs/enhance-video-1-0.

Is Video Enhancer API free or paid?

Paid. Completed generations are charged at the rates in this page's pricing table. Eligible new accounts may receive promotional test credits; availability and amount are shown at signup or in the dashboard. Technical or provider failures are refunded automatically, except where this page documents a charged output-moderation block.

Does Video Enhancer API require a monthly subscription?

No. Pricing is pay-as-you-go: $1 buys 1,000 credits and credits never expire. Cost scales with what you generate rather than with a recurring fee.

How do I get a Video Enhancer API key?

Sign up and create a key in the dashboard, no card required. Pass it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

What is the Enhance Video 1.0 API?

Enhance Video 1.0 is an async video restoration and upscaling model: post a public video URL and it rebuilds the clip at up to 4K and up to 120 fps without changing its length. Two quality tiers (standard and professional), five scene presets — general, UGC, short drama, AI-generated footage and old film — and either a resolution preset from 240p to 4K or an exact short side between 64 and 2160 px shape the output. Sources up to 10 GB and 2 hours are accepted, and jobs are billed per second of video, measured server-side before the charge.

What you can build with this model

Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.

Video enhancer for AI-generated footage

Pipe text-to-video output through the video enhancer API with scene=aigc to lift 480p / 720p clips to 1080p, 2K, or 4K. The pipeline repaints fine detail without altering motion or length.

Run an enhancement

Video enhancer for compressed UGC

Send UGC clips with scene=ugc to remove blocking, color banding, and re-encode artifacts. The video enhancer API applies smart sharpening tuned for short-form social footage.

Video enhancer for old-footage restoration

Set scene=old_film and tool_version=professional and the video enhancer API runs temporal denoise, scratch removal, deflicker, and color-cast correction in one pass — no frame-by-frame retouching pipeline.

Why reAPI

Video enhancer with 30+ algorithms

The video enhancer API analyzes each shot and dynamically composes super-resolution, denoise, deblock, sharpen, and color-enhance operators. You pick the scene preset; the system picks the algorithm chain.

Transparent video enhancer pricing

Pricing is output_seconds × tool_version × resolution_bucket × fps_tier. The video enhancer API probes your source video for the exact billable seconds before charging — no surprise bills, failed jobs refund.

Async, idempotent, callback-ready

POST returns a task ID instantly; poll /api/v1/tasks/:id or supply an event callback. client_token gives you idempotency for retries; callback_args round-trips opaque correlation data.
