Tencent Video Upscaler (MPS super-resolution / enhancement)
Tencent Video Upscaler is developed by Tencent. Atlas Cloud (operated by Atlas Cloud AI LLC) provides access to it and does not own it. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Tencent Video Upscaler
Tencent Video Upscaler enhances an existing video to a higher output resolution and better quality using Tencent Cloud MPS (Media Processing Service) large-model super-resolution. Provide a public video URL, pick an enhancement template, and receive a playable enhanced video URL.
Highlights
- Video-to-video enhancement: Improve an existing clip (up to 4K) without changing the source content. User-uploaded videos and third-party-model outputs are both supported.
- Scene-tuned templates: Choose a template matched to your content and target resolution — live-action / anime-comic AI enhance, old-film & low-quality restoration (denoise + face enhance + descratch), distant small-face optimization, or Seedance2-tuned enhancement — at 720P / 1080P / 2K / 4K.
- Optional fine control: Override the output short-edge and interpolate the frame rate when needed; otherwise the template's tier and the source frame rate are used.
- Hosted output: Enhanced videos are transferred to AtlasCloud storage and returned as long-lived URLs (the upstream Tencent COS URL is never exposed).
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | Yes | Use tencent/video/upscaler. |
video_url | Yes | Input video URL. Must be a publicly accessible HTTP(S) URL — Tencent MPS fetches it before processing, so signed URLs should be long-lived. |
template | Yes | Enhancement template. Selects the scene and target resolution tier (see the table below). Default anime-enhance-4k. |
short | No | Output short-edge in pixels, constrained by the chosen template tier: 720P (0,720], 1080P (720,1080], 2K (1080,1440], 4K (1440,2160]. Omit to use the template's default output size. Does not affect billing. |
fps | No | Target frame rate (frame interpolation). Omit to keep the source frame rate. |
keep_metadata | No | Whether to preserve the source media metadata. Default true. |

Note: The
templateyou choose determines both the enhancement behavior and the billing tier.shortis an optional output-size override and must stay within the chosen template's tier range.
Processing
Enhancement is asynchronous. Submit a request to receive a task id, then poll the result endpoint until status is completed (or failed). Enhanced output is transferred to AtlasCloud storage and returned in outputs as a long-lived URL.
Pricing
Billing is per second of video duration (probed server-side via ffprobe before billing). The final price is the duration multiplied by a per-second rate determined by the template's resolution tier and a frame-rate coefficient:
price = duration_seconds × tier_rate × fps_factor
-
Resolution tier is taken from the
template(its trailing720p/1080p/2k/4k), not fromshort. -
Per-second tier rate (equivalent per-minute rate in parentheses):
Tier Per second (Per minute) 720P $0.004110$0.24661080P $0.009092$0.54552K $0.016507$0.99044K $0.036542$2.1925 -
Frame-rate factor: ≤30fps = 1, >30 and ≤60fps = 2, >60 and ≤120fps = 4. When
fpsis omitted it is billed at the ≤30fps tier (factor 1).
Effective per-minute price (tier rate × fps factor):
| Tier | ≤30fps | ≤60fps | ≤120fps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720P | $0.2466 | $0.4932 | $0.9864 |
| 1080P | $0.5455 | $1.0910 | $2.1820 |
| 2K | $0.9904 | $1.9808 | $3.9616 |
| 4K | $2.1925 | $4.3850 | $8.7700 |
Example: a 30-second anime-enhance-2k job at the default ≤30fps → 30 × $0.016507 × 1 = $0.4952.
