An advanced ComfyUI workflow that combines intelligent batch upscaling with AI frame interpolation to transform low-resolution videos into high-resolution, buttery-smooth masterpieces without memory errors.This workflow represents the ultimate post-processing solution for AI-generated videos. It not only increases resolution through advanced upscaling but also dramatically improves motion smoothness by interpolating frames to 32FPS or higher. All while maintaining the batch processing that prevents Out of Memory errors on long videos.<hr />📖 DescriptionWhy choose between resolution and smoothness when you can have both? This workflow is the natural evolution of batch upscaling, adding professional-grade frame interpolation to create truly cinematic results. It takes your AI-generated videos (from Wan2.2, AnimateDiff, etc.) and performs a two-stage enhancement: first doubling the resolution with RealESRGAN, then using RIFE AI interpolation to multiply the frame rate for incredibly fluid motion.Perfect for transforming jerky 16FPS AI animations into smooth 32FPS+ cinematic sequences that rival professional animation quality.<hr />✨ Features &amp;
