Enhanced creative upscaling for GenAI video, with advanced control over detail and style.

​
What is Astra 2?

If you’re new here: Astra 2 targets AI-generated and stylized video. Plain upscaling mostly enlarges and sharpens existing pixels; Astra 2 can add plausible new detail and texture where the source is soft, so the clip feels richer—not only bigger.

​
Model overview

It builds on Astra 1 with clearer control over how detail and stylization are produced (creativity, sharpness, optional descriptive prompts—not step lists). Strong fits: stylized/GenAI footage, wides and sparse-detail scenes, and footage that looks overly smooth until texture is restored.

​
Key capabilities

  • Adds texture and detail — Not only sharpening.
  • Steerable look — Creativity, sharpness, optional prompt guidance.
  • Stylized & wides — Where inferred detail matters.

​
In ComfyUI

Use Topaz Video Enhance. Topaz Video Enhance (Legacy) does not offer Astra 2. Set upscaler to Astra 2, resolution to FullHD or 4K; input must be MP4. Optional Prompt: max 450 frames (~15 s @ 30 fps). Empty prompt: up to 9000 frames. Expand advanced controls for Sharp and Realism when needed.
To use the API nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the API Nodes Overview section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the API nodes.
Make sure your ComfyUI is updated.Workflows in this guide can be found in the Workflow Templates. If you can’t find them in the template, your ComfyUI may be outdated. (Desktop version’s update will delay sometime)If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:
  1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
  2. Some nodes failed to import at startup

​
Example workflow

Load Video → Topaz Video Enhance → Save Video. After opening the template, pick Astra 2 on the upscaler if another preset is selected.
