BytePlus Video Enhancement Standard

This is the sibling of the BytePlus Video Enhancement Pro node, with one extra control that makes it the more interesting of the two for anyone cleaning up real footage: a style preset that tells the enhancer what kind of clip this is. Same cloud upscaling job, same one-input API, but instead of a generic "make it better," you can say "this is old film" or "this is a short-form vertical video" and get enhancement tuned for it.

Both nodes share the same core - feed a video, get an enhanced version back. The Standard tier is the one to reach for when your source has a character, not just low resolution.

The inputs that matter

• video (required, STRING): the source clip as a UUID or URL.
• settings.style - the dial that makes this node worth picking over Pro:
  • common - the generic default.
  • ugc - user-generated content: phone and webcam footage.
  • short_series - short-form/vertical video, where the enhancement treats the clip like a social asset.
  • aigc - AI-generated video, which is a genuinely useful admission that the source is already synthetic and needs cleanup rather than realism.
  • old_film - archival footage: the enhancer knows to fight grain and instability instead of inventing detail.
• resolution: 240p → 4k presets, defaulting to the input's size and aspect.
• settings.bitrate (low/medium/high) and the gated fps and settings.resolutionLimit toggles: same as Pro.
• outputFormat (MP4/WEBM/MOV) and outputQuality (default 95).

And the same quirk as its sibling, so it bears repeating: the output is typed IMAGE, not VIDEO. The widgets all describe a video, but Runware's catalog types these enhancement nodes with an image output - wire it into an image preview/save node and don't hunt for a VIDEO socket that isn't there.

How it works

Identical pack machinery to Pro: the clip goes up, BytePlus runs on Runware's cloud, the enhanced file comes back and is converted into your graph. The style value just rides along in the request and tells the enhancer which recipe to use. Cost per run shows on the title bar.

Install and gotchas

One-time pack install - ComfyUI Manager, search Runware, or git clone https://github.com/Runware/ComfyUI-Runware into custom_nodes + pip install -r requirements.txt - then restart and add a Runware API key (Settings → Runware API key, RUNWARE_API_KEY, or runware auth login).

The three things to remember: mind the IMAGE-typed output, use the style preset (it's the entire reason Standard exists over Pro), and treat 4K + high bitrate as a real bill line. If your clip is honest 480p phone footage, ugc will do more for it than any resolution knob.
