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

VideoUpscaler is an online AI video upscaler. Upload a video of up to 500 MB, choose 1080p, 2K (1440p) or 4K (2160p), and download an upscaled version with its original audio. The cloud service processes video with FlashVSR, a diffusion-based super-resolution model, and runs on cloud GPUs without requiring installation. Processing costs 1, 2 or 3 credits per second at 1080p, 2K or 4K; the estimated cost is shown before a job starts, and credits for failed jobs are refunded. Paid cloud plans add batch processing for up to 10 videos. Developers can use the REST API or remote MCP server with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. A separate macOS app processes video locally on Apple Silicon with its own AI models. The service is for video creators, editors, marketers and people restoring older or low-resolution footage.

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.
