Higgsfield's AI Video Sharpener page shows how to rescue soft or blurry footage by upscaling it in Higgsfield Upscale with the ByteDance or Topaz engine. You pick a preset for AI video, UGC, short series or old film and export at 1080p, 2K or 4K, with fast motion kept smooth at up to 60 fps. A clip too soft to save can instead be regenerated with video and image models.
