# Topaz Astra Video Creative Upscale - AI video upscaling

> Upscale and enhance videos with Topaz Astra in ComfyUI: Starlight (Astra) Fast upscaling with optional apo-8 frame interpolation

Topaz Astra Video Creative Upscale is available in ComfyUI through the Topaz partner nodes. It upscales and enhances video with the Starlight (Astra) Fast model, optionally combined with apo-8 frame interpolation to raise the frame rate. The workflow accepts MP4 input and produces enhanced MP4 output.

<Tip>
  To use the Partner Nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the [Partner Nodes Overview](/tutorials/partner-nodes/overview) section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the Partner Nodes.

      So, if you find any core node missing in this document, it might be because the new core nodes have not yet been released in the latest stable version. Please wait for the next stable release.
