Latest zip file Ultimate_Video_Processing_v7.zip
Watch this video to see 4K upscale models comparison (it also has mini tutorial - public video) : https://youtu.be/q8QCtxrVK7g
This app designed as an industry level video upscaling and restoration mindset, you will see as you use. Entire movies can be upscaled / restored with just 1 click fully automatically. Our image based upscalers supports full batch-size processing which means you can increase processing speed significantly.
Our 1-click installer works on every GPU of RunPod and Massed Compute including RTX 5000 series and also on Windows same way

What is coming:
Bug fixes if you find
Fixing GPU ID selection for SeedVR2 image and video upscale
More preset configs for SeedVR2 and more extensive testing
SeedVR2 block swapping feature to significantly reduce VRAM
SeedVR2 tiled-VAE - this will make massive difference
How To Use
Generated videos will be saved inside STAR\outputs for all models and generated single upscale images will be saved inside STAR\outputs_images for all models
It has a very detailed How to Use Documentation click to read after installing - on main page
Hopefully I will make a full detailed tutorial soon after SeedVR2 implementation
Recomended upscaler is SeedVR2 - uses lesser VRAM and supports ratio upscale
STAR model is working best at Max Frames per Chunk (VRAM) = 32
But its bigger limitation is it can only properly upscale 4x, if you do ratio upscale it is very low quality
960p to 3840p uses around 145 GB VRAM with 32 frames, but 16 frames fits into 80 GB GPUs
You can also upscale 640p to 2560p
SECourses Video and Image Upscaler Pro app has everything with automatic implementation just play a bit and you will see, you can upscale entire movie fully automatically
Windows Requirements
Python 3.10.11, CUDA 12.8, cuDDN 8.9 and cuDNN 9.7+, FFmpeg, Git, C++ Build Tools 17.8 LTSC, MSVC
Full tutorial to install above requirements : https://youtu.be/DrhUHnYfwC0
The above tutorial shows all the requirements step by step with the updated links in source post
15 August 2025 V8 Update
Use latest zip file and run Windows_Install_and_Update.bat - should be sufficient
A bug in image upscale fixed
The dev repo has now full support of tiled VAE and block swap
With both enabled, even low VRAM GPUs will be able to amazingly upscale videos and images with SeedVR2
Hopefully coming soon
31 July 2025 V7 Update
Use latest zip file and run Windows_Install_and_Update.bat - should be sufficient
Major SeedVR2 Improvements - Scene Split, RAM/VRAM Optimization & Enhanced Batch Processing
Version 7.0 brings significant improvements to SeedVR2 upscaling with enhanced scene split processing, fixed memory leaks, improved single image pipeline, and comprehensive batch processing enhancements. This release focuses on stability, performance, and VRAM optimization for better user experience.
Major Improvements: Scene split processing now fully working with SeedVR2, RAM/VRAM leakage fixed, single image pipeline perfected, and batch processing significantly enhanced.
Core SeedVR2 Improvements
Scene Split Processing: Scene split based processing now fully working with SeedVR2 and is recommended for optimal results
Automatic Resolution Determination: Resolution detection and setting mechanism fixed for accurate upscaling
Single Image Pipeline: Single image processing pipeline fixed and working perfectly
Preset System: Preset save and load functionality fixed for SeedVR2 configurations
Memory Optimization
RAM/VRAM Leak Fixed: Major memory leakage issues resolved with significantly improved VRAM usage patterns
VRAM Usage Optimization: 24 GB GPU can now upscale single images to 2560x2560px (6.55 megapixels) in under 30 seconds
Video VRAM Management: 24 GB GPU can upscale videos to 1280x720px with batch size 9 (VAE decoding uses 23.5 GB peak)
Batch Size Optimization: Due to model restrictions, batch size can only increase by 4 (5, 9, 13, 17, etc.)
Batch Processing Enhancements
Batch Image Upscaling: Significantly improved with bug fixes and performance optimizations
Settings Synchronization: Batch image upscaling now uses settings from Single Image tab for consistency
Multi-Model Support: Batch upscale now works with both SeedVR2 and Image Upscalers like 2xLiveActionV1_SPAN_490000.pth
Quality Recommendation: SeedVR2 upscale recommended as it provides SUPIR-level quality or better depending on task
Known Limitations
Block Swapping: Currently not working and temporarily disabled until tiled VAE encoding/decoding arrives
Tiled VAE Decoding: Not yet implemented but coming soon for significant VRAM reduction
FP8 Precision Models: Not useful yet pending further optimization
SeedVR2 3B FP16 Model: Has VRAM doubling issue - do not use until fixed
Working Models & Recommendations
SeedVR2 7B FP16 Model: Working perfectly and recommended for best quality
Testing Presets: Start testing with SeedVR2_Image and SeedVR2_Video presets for optimal results
VRAM Management: If out of VRAM, reduce max resolution from Resolution & Scene Split settings
Performance Testing: RTX 3090 Ti (24GB) confirmed for all specified performance benchmarks
Additional Fixes
Batch Size Slider: Fixed to properly increment by 4 as required by model architecture
Performance Improvements: Numerous other bug fixes and performance optimizations throughout the codebase
Coming Soon: Tiled VAE implementation will significantly reduce VRAM usage, allowing larger upscale sizes with bigger batch sizes.
Now supports MKV files too
Just run Windows_Install_and_Update.bat file and it will quickly update

This is one of the best along with SUPIR. and this will hopefully get massive upgrade soon. try our SUPIR too : https://youtu.be/OYxVEvDf284
Furkan Gözükara
yes this will get huge upgrade. it will become much more optimized and better working hopefully soon. i am waiting this repo to push nightly into main : https://github.com/numz/ComfyUI-SeedVR2_VideoUpscaler/tree/nightly
JP LONB
Hi Furkan, any chance we get an update on this app soon. I keep having a black output but it seems to be a known issue. Any v8 version soon to be expected? Does the v7 work for anyone locally (I have a RTX4080, VRAM 16GB)? Thanks in advance!
Tyler
Hello! Is this still the best opensource video upscale option? I'm used to just upscaling in comfyUI and interpolating... Is this process better?
Furkan Gözükara
sure next version will have so amazing features hopefully. currently you can batch upscale. in the batch upscaling select Direct Image Upscaling checkbox
David
Hi, in the next version can you add the ability to "Batch Upscaling" for the images too? Now we can do only with videos, thank you 🔝
Furkan Gözükara
for SUPIR run as tiled + fp16. for SeedVR2 i am waiting this repo to update from nightly to main : https://github.com/numz/ComfyUI-SeedVR2_VideoUpscaler to update our app
Hoàng Giang Sơn Trương
RTX 5090 but out of memory :( Star & SeedVR2 both the same. Please guide me on the best way to setting.
Furkan Gözükara
hopefully the app will be fully updated and it will use way lesser vram. i am waiting main repo to be updated they said withing a week
Furkan Gözükara
install error. delete venv, run installer and email me cmd logs please : monstermmorpg@gmail.com - also huge VRAM and general update coming to the app soon hopefully

I add a video and enable the SeedVR2_Video enhancement, it processes up to 80%, then it stops, then it appears again and the right video screen is black. Who had this error?
Jon Sheehan
Have run out of ideas of how to fix...
Jon Sheehan
Hello! It's giving me an error that there no SeedVR2 models. In the SeedVR2/models folder I see it has downloaded: seedvr2_ema_7b_sharp_fp16.safetensors, seedvr2_ema_7b_fp16.safetensors, seedvr2_ema_3b_fp16.safetensors and ema_vae_fp16.safetensors
Furkan Gözükara
ok it is like this. select seedvr image preset, go single image upscale, select image and click image upscale . it works. also make sure to run Windows_Install_and_Update.bat
Nicolas Giarrusso
Hi! I started trying to use the simple still image upscaler, I set seedvr2 and when I hit run it showed me the error Value 1 is less than minimum value 5.
