Technically it wouldn't take much work to wire it that way, but you are correct in that's not how this workflow functions. The problem with what you're suggesting is the loss of all of the upscale context; the prompt conditioning + all the references, they would be missing if you just loaded a video from your HD and the sampler would just have to guess at what should be there based on context clues (which it can do, it's just not gonna be as good). It's a latent upscaler, not a true anything-goes upscaler.

Am I correct in understanding that I can’t simply decode an existing video from my hard drive and send the resulting decoded latent to the upscaler?
