Basic Usage
The simplest Vapourkit workflow: drop in a video, pick a model, press go.
Process a single video
- Add a video. Drag and drop into the Input Video panel, or click to browse.
- Pick a model. Choose an upscaling model. Different models target different content types — see Included Models.
- Pick a backend. TensorRT (NVIDIA) or DirectML (AMD/Intel). The default is usually right.
- Configure output. In Output Settings, set the save location and the container format.
- Process. Click Start Processing. The Output Preview panel updates as frames complete.
Preview and compare
While processing, the Output Preview panel shows the latest output frame. Once it’s done:
- Compare — launches the bundled side-by-side video viewer with the original and upscaled file aligned frame-for-frame.
- Open Folder — opens File Explorer at the output location.
Next
- How it works — what’s happening under the hood
- Custom Filters — chain VapourSynth filters into the pipeline
- Templates & Workflows — save and share configurations
- Batch Processing — process many videos in a queue
