About

Alchemist X is a cloud-native video frame rate conversion platform developed by Grass Valley for professional broadcasting, live production, and global media distribution. The software uses eighth-generation motion-compensated processing technology to convert video between different broadcast standards while preserving image quality and smooth motion. It supports standard definition, HD, 1080p, and UHD 2160p formats, along with HDR and SDR conversion using HLG, PQ, and custom lookup tables. Its real-time processing capabilities enable broadcasters to convert live video feeds for simultaneous distribution across international markets and streaming platforms. Alchemist X also provides color space conversion, video enhancement, closed caption handling, and 16-channel audio processing with configurable gain, delay, and channel mapping.

About

FLUX Upscale is a video upscaling tool designed to regenerate lower-resolution footage at higher resolutions, up to native 4K, for delivery formats such as broadcast, campaigns, and large screens. It accepts video from 480p and above and is built to preserve quality as resolution increases, addressing problems that local or general-purpose upscalers can introduce at higher output sizes. The tool understands FLUX 3 video output natively and can repair common generated-video imperfections, including smudged faces and grid-like artifacts in detailed textures such as water and grass. Users can choose between two processing modes depending on the job. Precise uses fewer steps for faster processing and is the better option when identity or reference details need to remain consistent. Creative uses additional steps to push repair and detail generation further, but it may alter or replace identity and therefore offers lower reference consistency.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

Cons

  • It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.
