Video Forge is Upscale Forge's built-in video editor. Unlike general-purpose video editors, Video Forge is specifically designed for AI-enhanced video workflows — combining, trimming, and sequencing clips alongside AI upscaling, effects, and transitions, all in a single timeline interface.
Video Forge has four main areas:
Click the + button in the Media Library or drag files directly in. Supported: MP4, MOV, WebM for video; JPG, PNG, WebP for images; MP3, WAV, AAC for audio.
Drag clips from the library to the video track. Order them as they should play. Each clip appears as a block on the timeline; drag edges to trim start and end points.
Click the gap between clips to add a transition. Available: cut (no transition), dissolve, fade to black, cross-fade, wipe. Drag the transition to adjust its duration.
Select a clip, then in the Properties panel find "AI Enhancement." Enable upscaling and choose your preset and scale factor. This processes the clip through Upscale Forge's upscaling AI before export.
Click Export. Choose your resolution (1080p, 4K), format (MP4/H.264, MP4/H.265, WebM), and quality preset. AI upscaling of clips processes during export.
Different clips in your timeline can have different upscale settings. A clip shot in 480p can be upscaled 4× while a 1080p clip is upscaled 2×, all in the same timeline, exporting as a consistent 4K video.
Apply AI noise reduction to clips with heavy grain (dark scenes, high ISO footage). This runs independently of upscaling and can be applied to any clip.
AI-assisted color grading suggests corrections based on white balance, exposure, and color cast detection. Use as a starting point for manual color adjustment.
AI upscaling during export is compute-intensive. A 60-second timeline with per-clip 4× upscaling may take 10–30 minutes to export depending on your plan tier and server load. Start exports when you don't need immediate turnaround.
