This paper reviews the first NTIRE challenge on video super-resolution (restoration of rich details in low-resolution video frames) with focus on proposed solutions and results. A new REalistic and Diverse Scenes dataset (REDS) was employed. The challenge was divided into 2 tracks. Track 1 employed standard bicubic downscaling setup while Track 2 had realistic dynamic motion blurs. Each competition had 124 and 104 registered participants. There were total 14 teams in the final testing phase. They gauge the state-of-the-art in video super-resolution.
