Beeble updates SwitchX to 4K and adds Reframe for aspect-ratio expansion

SwitchX 2.0 raises output to native 4K, supports 20-second clips and 10-bit color, adds an Up-res option for iterating at lower resolution, and introduces Reframe (powered by SwitchFrame) to expand footage to arbitrary aspect ratios while preserving original motion and frame count.

Useful takeaways from this story.

Reframe (using SwitchFrame) expands clips to custom aspect ratios while preserving original performance, motion fidelity, and frame count, with Auto Fill or user-supplied reference images.

Up-res lets teams iterate at 720p for faster previews, then generate final results at up to 4K to save time and cost.

# Overview

Beeble has released SwitchX 2.0, an upgraded version of its video-to-video model for filmmakers and VFX artists who need to modify scene elements—lighting, background, props—while keeping the original subject and performance intact. The update focuses on higher resolution, longer clip lengths, improved color depth, and workflow features intended to speed iteration and finishing.

# What's new in SwitchX 2.0

SwitchX 2.0 makes several concrete improvements over the previous release:

  • Clip length up to 20 seconds at 24 fps, including sub-second clips.
  • Improved camera tracking, motion fidelity, and lip synchronization.

Beeble also added an Up-res finishing workflow that lets users iterate at a lower resolution (720p) and then generate the final output at up to 4K. That promises time and cost savings during creative iterations and faster preview cycles.

# Reframe: aspect-ratio expansion

Beeble launched Reframe, powered by its SwitchFrame video outpainting model, to change aspect ratios without altering the original performance or frame count. Key capabilities:

  • Expand footage to any aspect ratio while preserving motion and frame timing.
  • Control over aspect ratio, position, scale, and crop.
  • Auto Fill to generate expanded regions or supply user-uploaded reference images to guide the extension.
  • Support for clips up to 20 seconds, at 4K and 10-bit color.

This is aimed at projects that need different delivery formats (for example, moving between vertical, square, and widescreen) without losing the actor's original performance or requiring re-shoots.

# Workflow and finishing

Reframe integrates into that flow by allowing the framing and composed scene to be adjusted before the final high-resolution pass. Users can set framing parameters and test Auto Fill or reference-guided fills at lower resolution, then produce the final 4K expanded clip once the composition is approved.

# Pricing and availability

SwitchX 2.0 and Reframe are available through the Beeble platform. Generations made with the new model are offered at a 50% discount until September 23, 2026. More information and access are listed at beeble.ai.

# Practical takeaways

  • If you need higher-resolution, longer generative edits that match original motion and lip sync, SwitchX 2.0 provides native 4K, 10-bit color and up to 20-second clip support.
  • Use the Up-res workflow to move faster during creative iterations and reserve full-resolution runs for final deliverables.
  • The limited-time 50% discount through September 23, 2026, can reduce the cost of evaluating the upgraded model on real projects.
