# Enhance Short Videos with AI Upscaling

Short videos can lose detail after compression, trimming, or remote downloads. This skill uses Verging AI workflows to upscale, denoise, and return enhanced clips.

## Install

## Capabilities

- Accepts local video files and YouTube or Bilibili URLs as input.
- Trims videos with start and end time options before enhancement.
- Supports normal and HD enhancement modes with credit estimates.
- Uploads media through the Verging API and creates enhancement jobs.
- Polls job progress and returns the final result URL.
- Can download the completed enhanced video to a chosen output path.

## Use Cases

- Improve Creator Clips: Upscale a short social clip, reduce noise, and download a cleaner version for publishing.
- Prepare Marketing Shorts: Trim a campaign video to the required segment and create an HD version for review.
- Restore Review Footage: Enhance a rights-cleared archived clip before editing, sharing, or quality inspection.

## Prompt Templates

### Enhance a Local Clip

```
Enhance my local video at ./clip.mp4 with default quality. Show the credit estimate before starting the job.
```

### Trim a Remote Clip

```
Enhance this YouTube clip from 5 to 25 seconds. Use normal quality and return the final result link.
```

### Create an HD Review File

```
Use my Verging API key from the environment. Enhance ./promo.mp4 in HD from 3 to 28 seconds and save the result in ./exports.
```

### Run a Controlled Enhancement

```
Before uploading, confirm the clip duration, credit cost, output path, and that the media is approved for external processing.
```

## Limitations

- Requires a Verging API key and enough paid or granted credits.
- Depends on local yt-dlp, ffmpeg, ffprobe, and curl commands.
- Uploads video content to external Verging and storage services.
- Processes only a 30 second segment, so longer videos are trimmed.

## Best Practices

- Use only videos you own or have permission to process externally.
- Keep the Verging API key in an environment variable and rotate it after exposure.
- Set start and end times to control cost and stay within the 30 second limit.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not paste real API keys into prompts, command examples, screenshots, or logs.
- Do not upload private, regulated, or client media without explicit approval.
- Do not pass unknown remote URLs without checking source trust and rights.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-07T08:17:04.408\+00:00
- Summary: The skill intentionally uses external network calls, local media commands, temporary files, and a Verging API key. Many Markdown backtick detections are formatting false positives, but the documented execution flow confirms real curl, yt-dlp, ffprobe, and ffmpeg use. No prompt injection attempt was found in the reviewed files.
