Video noise reduction API

Where video noise comes from

Noise has multiple sources, and each degrades video differently:

• Sensor noise: High ISO in low light amplifies electronic noise
• Compression artifacts: Aggressive encoding creates blocky, noisy areas
• Film grain: Analog film has natural grain that may need removal for digital use
• Upscaling artifacts: Naive upscaling can introduce noise-like patterns

Traditional denoising blurs everything. AI denoising learns to distinguish noise from detail.

How AI denoising works

BetterVideo's pipeline applies neural-network-based denoising alongside super-resolution:

• Noise detection: Identify noise patterns vs. actual texture
• Selective smoothing: Reduce noise in flat areas, preserve edges and texture
• Detail reconstruction: Real-ESRGAN adds back detail lost to compression

The result is cleaner video that still looks natural — not plastic or over-processed.

Use cases for video denoising

• Content delivery: Denoised video compresses better, saving bandwidth
• Low-light footage: Clean up high-ISO phone and DSLR video
• Archive restoration: Remove film grain or tape noise from old footage
• Broadcast prep: Clean up source before color grading

One API call — curl, Python & Node

Submit a video by URL, then poll GET /v1/jobs/{id} until done (or receive a signed webhook), and fetch a time-limited download link:

curl -X POST https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"video_url":"https://.../clip.mp4","resolution":"1080p"}'

import requests
r = requests.post("https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"},
    json={"video_url": "https://.../clip.mp4", "resolution": "1080p"})
job = r.json()  # poll GET /v1/jobs/{job['id']} until status == "done"

const res = await fetch("https://api.bettervideo.io/v1/jobs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ video_url: "https://.../clip.mp4", resolution: "1080p" })
});
const job = await res.json();

Privacy is the default, not an upgrade

• Never trained on. Pre-trained, fixed-weight models — your frames are enhanced and returned, never used to train AI.
• Never sold or shared. No third parties, no data brokers, no "anonymized" resale.
• Auto-deleted. Files self-delete (default 30 days), or delete any job instantly with one call.
• Proof on the Secure tier. Every deletion can return a signed deletion certificate, with a full audit log.
