Topaz Video Upscaler
Topaz Video Upscaler is Kyeo's current single-video factor workflow. It accepts one video URL plus `1x / 2x / 4x`, defaults to `2x`, and has no prompt input. Those factors are API values, not guarantees of denoising, restoration, stabilization, frame interpolation, 4K output, or a specific visual improvement; test critical footage first.
30-second overview
- Accepts one video and an explicit `1x / 2x / 4x` upscale factor
- No prompt is shown or sent in the current public source Topaz request.
- The current public source contract allows 50MB; Kyeo accepts one MP4, MOV, or MKV file up to 10MB
- `1x / 2x / 4x` are request values, not promises about restoration quality or final resolution

Cinematic scene
In a telekinetic action scene, a South Korean high school girl in a white short-sleeved shirt and gray pleated skirt stands calmly in the middle of a corridor. She is being attacked from both sides; some attackers, wearing brown school uniform jackets, wield short sticks, while others are dressed as black ninjas, creating a tense standoff in the corridor. As the enemies rush towards her, the girl unleashes a powerful telekinetic attack. Suddenly, everything around her enters a state of weightlessness and time freezes. Dozens of items—open textbooks, notebooks, a red soda can, and a wooden school chair—leave the ground, perfectly suspending themselves in mid-air. The attackers, in their lunging movements, are frozen in mid-air by an invisible force. Paper pages, scraps of paper, and dust float and swirl around her weightlessly. The camera slowly zooms in on the girl, perfectly freezing the chaotic corridor in the telekinetic-induced state of stillness and suspension. In the extreme stillness of the slowly zooming-in, frozen image, the girl's calm eyes narrow slightly. Immediately afterward, she calmly raised her right hand, her fingers loosely clenched, and then made a light yet decisive flick of her sleeve to either side of her body. In an instant, frozen time and gravity seemed to explode with this subtle gesture. A low rumble echoed in the air, and dozens of objects that had been suspended in mid-air—a heavy wooden school chair, scattered textbooks, even the red soda can—transformed into a dense projection, carrying powerful air currents, and were precisely launched towards the enemies attacking from both sides. At the same time, an invisible circular psychic shockwave violently spread out from the girl. The brown-uniformed attackers and black-clad ninjas, who had been frozen in mid-air, were instantly struck by this immense force, their bodies jolted violently, and they were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings to either end of the corridor. As gravity instantly returned, the wooden chairs shattered upon impact, textbooks scattered into a flurry of pages, and with the dull thud of heavy objects hitting the ground, the attackers collapsed onto the corridor floor, incapacitated. Silence returned to the corridor, broken only by countless tattered papers and fine dust drifting slowly in the air. The aftershocks of the shockwave ruffled the girl's bangs and hair. She remained composed, not even glancing at her fallen opponent. The girl slowly lowered her right hand, raised her slender left, and gracefully and calmly tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate and serene profile. The camera froze on this moment, the white papers falling around her like snowflakes, highlighting her still figure in a white short-sleeved shirt and gray pleated skirt. Then, the image faded out.
Cinematic scene
Create an epic cinematic video of a young man standing alone on the edge of a colossal floating structure thousands of meters above the clouds at sunrise. The video begins with an extreme wide aerial shot revealing an endless sea of golden clouds stretching to the horizon. Massive floating islands drift slowly through the sky while gigantic waterfalls pour into the mist below and dissolve before reaching the ground.As the camera slowly moves forward, it discovers the young man standing silently near the edge of the platform. His dark coat moves naturally in powerful winds. His hair flows realistically, individual strands catching the warm sunrise light. The camera circles around him in a slow cinematic orbit while volumetric sun rays pierce through the clouds behind him.As the music intensifies, the environment begins to awaken. Floating crystal fragments rise from the clouds and start orbiting around him. Tiny glowing particles drift through the air. The camera pushes closer toward his face, revealing highly detailed eyes reflecting entire galaxies and distant stars. His expression remains calm, determined, and mysterious.The clouds beneath him begin to separate, revealing an impossible world hidden below. Gigantic floating cities emerge from the mist. Ancient golden towers rise into the sky. Massive celestial rings rotate slowly around distant mountains suspended in the atmosphere. Flying creatures made of light travel between structures, leaving glowing trails behind them.The camera transitions into a dramatic low-angle shot. The young man slowly raises his head toward the sky. Above him, enormous celestial formations appear. Ringed planets become visible among vibrant nebula clouds. Streams of cosmic energy flow across the heavens like rivers of light. Thousands of glowing particles swirl around the scene.A powerful beam of golden light descends from the sky and illuminates the young man. His coat moves dramatically in the wind while floating debris and glowing fragments rotate around him. The camera performs a smooth cinematic 360-degree orbit as the environment reaches its most breathtaking state.The final sequence shows the camera pulling rapidly backward, revealing the true scale of the world. The young man appears small against an infinite landscape of floating kingdoms, cosmic skies, celestial structures, and endless clouds. The sunrise expands across the horizon, painting the entire scene in gold, orange, and soft blue light.Ultra-realistic cinematic visuals, Hollywood-level visual effects, breathtaking environmental storytelling, hyper-detailed character, realistic physics, volumetric lighting, atmospheric fog, dynamic camera movement, professional color grading, epic scale, emotional storytelling, fantasy realism, smooth motion, 4K cinematic quality, masterpiece-level visual composition, designed to feel like the trailer of a billion-dollar fantasy movie.

Cinematic scene
Create a 30 second cinematic live action supernatural action sequence in 16:9, set inside a small Japanese style convenience store after midnight. Compose natively for widescreen, never as a portrait crop. The store feels real and lived in, with narrow stocked aisles, drink cases, checkout counter, plastic baskets, sale posters, microwave, fluorescent ceiling tubes, scuffed tile floor, and glass entrance doors reflecting the empty street. Cool cyan fluorescent light dominates, with green spill from exit signs and warm streetlight beyond the glass. Preserve natural skin texture, realistic fabric, accurate reflections, subtle lens breathing, handheld micro movement and believable motion blur. 0 to 4 seconds. Begin with a wide eye level view down the main aisle toward the cashier counter using a 28mm lens. An older female cashier with tied dark hair, thin round glasses, and a blue and white work uniform stands behind the register. A black crescent shaped throwing blade suddenly whips through foreground space. Cut to her hand drawing a short polished sword from below the counter, then to the spinning blade with shallow depth of field. She deflects it with one compact motion. A sharp spark flashes and the blade buries itself into a wall panel. 4 to 10 seconds. Return to calm observational coverage. A male customer in a business suit walks toward the automatic glass doors and exits into the night. Stay medium wide and slightly behind him. Hold on the cashier in profile as the doors close. Her expression remains controlled, but her eyes shift before her head moves. The store suddenly feels too quiet. 10 to 17 seconds. Alternate between a locked shot of the empty entrance and a slow push toward the cashier. The automatic doors slide open though nobody is visible. A faint draft moves a receipt strip and light packages. She scans the room without panic. Cut to a symmetrical wide aisle view where products begin falling from shelves one after another, tracing an invisible path toward her. Keep collisions physically plausible. 17 to 23 seconds. Tight frontal close up on her face. She realizes someone unseen has entered. Slowly dolly in as cool overhead light catches her glasses. Cut to her hand reaching beneath the counter and gripping the sword handle. Return to a wide frame with strong aisle depth as she quietly sets her stance, feet grounded and shoulders relaxed. 23 to 30 seconds. An unseen attacker launches another black crescent blade straight down the aisle. Track the projectile briefly at realistic speed, then cut to the cashier drawing and raising her sword in one practiced movement. She redirects the blade with a precise metallic strike. Show close shot of the weapon spinning past camera and embedding deep into the wall beside her. End on a close portrait of the cashier listening into the silent store, sword lowered but ready, while a nearly invisible distortion crosses the far background. Camera language should feel like a grounded Japanese action thriller, restrained rather than flashy. Use motivated cuts, stable geography, realistic acceleration, correct hand contact, consistent weapon shape, coherent eyelines, natural blinking and breathing, and no impossible body motion. Use slow motion only for a fraction of a second during the final impact. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark. Sound and music. Build tension from store ambience, fluorescent hum, refrigerator compressors, automatic door motor, distant traffic, shoe steps, package rustle, metal ring, and wall impact. Add a minimal cinematic score with low electronic pulse, sparse taiko like percussion, bowed metallic textures, and restrained bass. Keep music subtle at first, rise during each attack, then drop nearly to silence for the final close up. No vocals.

At a glance
Is this model right for you?
This workflow is not a mirror of the full Topaz Video desktop product. Topaz Labs also describes denoising, stabilization, slow motion, frame interpolation, and other broader features, while the current public source workflow exposes only a video URL and an upscale factor. Choose based on this narrow interface rather than inheriting every capability from the brand page.
- What it does best
- A narrow factor-based video-processing endpoint, not a prompt-led generator or content-rewriting tool.
- Who it is for
- Testing `1x / 2x / 4x` on a noncritical sample and measuring actual dimensions, visual change, runtime, audio retention, and download availability before using production footage.
- Why use it on Kyeo AI
- Topaz Video Upscale: 1x/2x at 8 credits/second; 4x at 14 credits/second

Wan 2.7 Video
Wan 2.7 supports text-to-video, first-frame or first-and-last-frame image-to-video, and video editing. It currently offers 720p and 1080p, so compare media requirements, duration, framing, and estimated credits together.
Seedance 2.5
Seedance 2.5 combines a 30-second boundary, higher media counts, and video-editing reference input in one strict scene contract. Automatic duration is not underestimated at the 5-second default; Kyeo preauthorizes against the 30-second maximum.
Seedance 2.0
Seedance 2.0 / Capabilities — Text accepts no media; frames requires a first frame and allows a last frame; reference requires a prompt and at least one image, video, or audio reference. Reference media cannot be sent with endpoint-frame fields. Seedance 2.0 supports three mutually exclusive text, frame, and multimodal-reference scenes. The current callable output set is 720p, 1080p, and 4K for 4–15 seconds; video-reference requests are available only at 1080p or 4K because those are the current priced combinations. 164–3,840 credits per request
