Real-World Use Cases
Content Creation and Social Media
Social media platforms increasingly favor high-resolution content in their algorithms. With RunwayML Upscale V1, content creators can transform older or lower-resolution footage into 4K-ready content suitable for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Breathe new life into your video archives and maintain a consistent, professional look across your channel.
Marketing and Advertising
Marketing teams can upscale product videos, testimonials, and promotional content to meet the quality standards expected by modern audiences. Whether repurposing existing assets or enhancing user-generated content, 4K output ensures your brand looks its best across all platforms and display sizes.
Film and Video Production
Post-production workflows benefit significantly from AI upscaling. Filmmakers can enhance B-roll footage, archive material, or lower-resolution clips to match 4K project requirements. This is particularly valuable when working with stock footage or historical content that needs to integrate seamlessly with modern production standards.
E-commerce and Product Showcases
Online retailers can upscale product videos to provide customers with crisp, detailed views of merchandise. Higher resolution means customers can see fine textures, stitching, and materials more clearly, potentially increasing conversion rates and reducing returns.
Training and Educational Content
Corporate training departments and educational institutions can modernize their video libraries. Older instructional content can be upscaled to display clearly on today’s high-resolution screens, extending the useful life of valuable educational materials.

The AI Upscaling Advantage
Traditional video upscaling simply interpolates between existing pixels, often resulting in soft, blurry output. AI-powered upscaling fundamentally changes this equation. RunwayML Upscale V1 uses machine learning models trained on vast datasets to understand textures, edges, and patterns. When upscaling, it doesn’t just guess—it intelligently reconstructs detail that creates a genuinely sharper, more defined image.
This approach is particularly effective for:
- Recovering fine textures and details
- Sharpening edges without introducing halos
- Maintaining color accuracy and tonal range
- Preserving natural motion characteristics
