Create the same Video Upscaler you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow.
Good for
Automation and batch processing
Adding video upscaler into apps, pipelines, or tools
How it works (3 steps)
Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with Generate Upload URLs and copy the file_path.
Send a request to create a video upscaler job with the basic fields.
Check the job status until it’s complete, then download the result from downloads.
Key options
Inputs: usually a file, sometimes a YouTube link, depending on project type
Resolution: output size and plan requirements vary by workflow and model. Some workflows derive output size from the input video.
Extra fields: e.g. face_swap_mode, start_seconds/end_seconds, or a text prompt
Cost
Credits are charged when the job is queued (credits_charged in the response). Tools billed per frame charge an estimate and settle to the frames that actually render once the job finishes; tools billed per second charge the final amount upfront. Failed jobs are refunded.
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <api_key>, where <api_key> is your API key. To get your API key, go to Developer Hub and click "Create new API Key".
The amount of credits deducted from your account to generate the video. If the status is not 'complete', this value is an estimate and may be adjusted upon completion based on the actual FPS of the output video.
If video generation fails, credits will be refunded, and this field will be updated to include the refund.

the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow.\n \n**Good for**\n- Automation and batch processing \n- Adding video translator into apps, pipelines, or tools \n\n**How it works (3 steps)**\n1) Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with [Generate Upload URLs](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/files/generate-asset-upload-urls) and copy the `file_path`. \n2) Send a request to create a video translator job with the basic fields. \n3) Check the job status until it's `complete`, then download the result from `downloads`.\n\n**Key options**\n- Inputs: usually a file, sometimes a YouTube link, depending on project type \n- Resolution: output size and plan requirements vary by workflow and model. Some workflows derive output size from the input video.\n- Extra fields: e.g. `face_swap_mode`, `start_seconds`/`end_seconds`, or a text prompt \n\n**Cost** \nCredits are charged when the job is queued (`credits_charged` in the response). Tools billed per frame charge an estimate and settle to the frames that actually render once the job finishes; tools billed per second charge the final amount upfront. Failed jobs are refunded.\n\nFor detailed examples, see the [product page](https://magichour.ai/products/ai-video-translator).","deprecated":null,"version":null,"openapi":"/api-reference/openapi.json post /v1/ai-video-translator","href":"/api-reference/video-projects/ai-video-translator"},{"title":"AI Video Upscaler","deprecated":null,"version":null,"openapi":"/api-reference/openapi.json post /v1/ai-video-upscaler","href":"/api-reference/video-projects/ai-video-upscaler"},{"title":"Animation","description":"Create a Animation video.
