01
The three-question test
Before you spend more credits, ask:
- Is the composition right? If no → regenerate.
- Is the motion right? If no → regenerate.
- Is only sharpness / resolution / grain wrong? → upscale.
02
When editing is the right call
If the shot is 90% there but a small object is wrong — colour of a jacket, brand on a mug, small facial detail — reach for an image editor (Flux 2 Pro Edit, Nano Banana 2 Edit, Seedream 4.5 Edit) on the first frame, then image-to-video the fixed frame.
This is roughly a third of the cost of a full regenerate and preserves what worked.
03
When upscaling is a trap
Upscaling amplifies detail — including bad detail. A clip with subtle limb warp will look worse at 4K, not better. Upscale only clean shots.
