RE:Vision Effects has released REZup Version 2, its updated video and animation upscaling plugin. The launch date is 4 August 2025, and the announcement emphasises improved upscaling with two newly integrated machine-learning models. REZup remains structured as two plug-ins—Resize (for upscaling or zooming) and Enhance (for refining image quality)—now enhanced with fresh capabilities.

Built-In Temporal Denoising and Colour Handling

REZup V2 adds a built-in temporally denoise option to suppress noise during upscaling. It also refines colour-space handling, making transitions and grading more reliable across varied footage.

Two ML Models — One for Everything, One Just for Faces

The update introduces two new machine-learning models:

• DNN 3 is a general-purpose model suitable for wide-ranging content, from live-action to rendered 3D animation.
• DNN 2 is optimised for faces and close-ups, promising detail retention such as fine hair strands, and even performs well on anime-style footage.

The company highlights that the models are “particularly adept” at 4× upscaling, for example transforming HD to 8K. Other scaling factors are shown in RE:Vision Effects’ demo videos.

Performance and Compatibility

REZup V2 supports AMD, NVIDIA, and Apple Silicon GPUs, and is expected to work with Intel Arc B60 discrete GPUs—though Intel users are invited to report test results. The company notes that upscaling from 1080p to 8K demands at least 8 GB VRAM; GPUs with more memory (12 GB to 96 GB) will handle higher resolutions more smoothly.

Pricing and Update Strategy

REZup V2 is priced at US $189.95, with an upgrade path from Version 1 available for US $39.99. The plugin is also included in RE:Vision Effects’ Effections bundle.

Host Application Support

The update is compatible with a wide range of host applications, including Adobe After Effects and Premiere, Resolve and Fusion, Apple Final Cut Pro, Assimilate Scratch, Nuke}, HSA-Art Diamant and Film Buster, Flame, Boris FX Silhouette, and other OpenFX-based hosts. A note indicates DNN 2 and 3 are not yet available on Flame Linux.

Combining with Twixtor

When used alongside Twixtor, REZup Resize enables reframing VR footage or remastering high-resolution content with no quality loss.

Note to readers: Confirm VRAM, host compatibility, and scaling results in your specific pipeline before adopting REZup V2 for critical deliverables.
