video-upscale

video-upscale is a skill for Claude Code from artokun/comfyui-mcp. It costs 167 tokens per session (4,914 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A ComfyUI workflow for enlarging and restoring video. It covers cleaning and upscaling frames, optionally creating intermediate frames for smoother motion, and putting the frames and original audio back into an MP4.

In plain words
What is it for?
Restoring and enlarging video, increasing frame rate with interpolation, and encoding the finished result with its audio.
Why use it?
It addresses blur, compression damage, generated-video artifacts, and uneven motion while accounting for changes across nearby frames.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

video-upscale scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Video Upscaling & Restoration

Overview

"Upscaling video" in ComfyUI splits into three jobs, and the quality win comes from doing them in the right order:

  1. Spatial restore + upscale. A temporal-aware model that increases resolution AND cleans compression blocks, blur, and AI-gen mush while keeping frames consistent over time. This is the part a plain image upscaler (ESRGAN, UltimateSDUpscale per-frame) does badly. Per-frame upscalers flicker because each frame is sharpened independently. Use a video model.
  2. Frame interpolation (VFI). Synthesize in-between frames to raise fps (e.g. 24→48/60) for smooth motion. Do this after the spatial pass.
  3. Encode. Mux frames (plus original audio) back to an MP4.

The two leading temporal restorers in 2026 are SeedVR2 (diffusion-transformer restorer, the proven workhorse) and FlashVSR (newer one-step streaming VSR, faster). Frame interpolation is RIFE (or FILM) via ComfyUI-Frame-Interpolation.

Verification note: every node/pack/model name below was confirmed against the GitHub repos and the ComfyUI registry / Manager as of June 2026. Where a name is approximate or version-dependent it is flagged. Do not substitute a node you can't confirm is installed. Check with install_custom_node (action: "list") / create_workflow (action:"node_info").


Downscale → SeedVR2 (temporal restore+upscale) → RIFE (interpolate) → VHS encode. This modernizes the user's classic recipe (below) with the current SeedVR2 node pack and is the path to ship by default. FlashVSR is the faster alternative for the restore stage (see "FlashVSR" section). Swap it in when speed matters more than absolute fidelity.
