Avoid awkward video and audio cuts.

Whether you want to hold on a shot of a character’s face for an extra beat or keep the sound of screeching tyres from a car chase in the background, it’s easy to generate more footage or audio, achieve video length increase, and keep edits distraction free.

Smooth out your storyline with seamless transitions.

Now you don’t have to use slow motion or duplicate single frames to extend a shot. With Generative Extend, you can make video longer and blend scenes together even when you run out of media.

Extend video clips right from your toolbar.

Adjust the length of a clip on your timeline as easily as rippling and rolling an edit point, and use Generative Extend to extend video length. Generated sequences will always be labelled, so you know exactly where the original footage ends and created frames begin.

Create with confidence.

Generative Extend is powered by commercially safe Adobe Firefly generative AI and only trained on content where Adobe has permission — such as Adobe Stock and public domain content where copyright has expired — and never on Adobe users’ content. This AI video length extender feature ensures you can lengthen clips confidently and safely.

1. Open {{premiere}}.

Open {{premiere}} and load the project containing the clip you want to extend. Ensure your timeline is ready and visible for editing.


2. Select a shot.

Select a clip in your timeline that you want to extend. Video clips must be at least 2 seconds long, and audio clips at least 3 seconds. You can apply Generative Extend to the start, end, or both ends of a clip to extend video duration.


3. Select the Generative Extend Tool in the Toolbar.

Select the Generative Extend Tool from the toolbar, then click and drag the edge of your video or audio clip to extend it. Preview the generated frames in real time, and undo changes if needed. This step allows you to extend video length safely and non-destructively.


4. Review your clip.

Review your clip once Generative Extend has finished generating frames. AI-generated frames are clearly labelled in the timeline so you can distinguish original footage from new content. Play through the extended section to ensure smooth transitions and perfectly aligned audio.

Questions? We have answers.

Is there a limit to how much I can extend a video?
Generative Extend allows you to extend video and audio clips beyond their original length, but the practical limit depends on clip duration and complexity. Very short clips may only be extended slightly, while longer clips can be extended more. Always review AI-generated frames to ensure quality and smooth transitions.
What types of videos are suitable for using Extend Video Length?
Please visit this page to learn more about the latest capabilities.
Is Generative Extend free to use?
Generative Extend is a premium generative AI feature in {{premiere}} that requires the use of generative credits. Premium generative AI features are more computationally intensive (currently, audio and video generative features) and are accessible through Adobe Firefly stand-alone plans and select Creative Cloud plans. You can try Generative Extend with a limited number of complimentary generations.
Can AI extend the length of a video?
Yes, AI can extend the length of a video by generating additional frames that match the style, motion, and content of the original footage, creating a seamless longer version.
How do I extend audio clips in {{premiere}} using Generative Extend?
You can extend audio clips in {{premiere}} by selecting the clip in your timeline, choosing the Generative Extend Tool, and dragging the edge to the desired length. The AI will generate new audio seamlessly, helping you maintain background ambience or dialogue without manually editing.
Can I use Generative Extend on short clips or very fast scenes?
Generative Extend works best with clips that are at least 2 seconds for video and 3 seconds for audio. Very short or fast-paced clips may be extended only slightly, as the AI needs enough frames to generate smooth, natural transitions.
Will using Generative Extend affect the quality or resolution of my video?
No, Generative Extend creates additional frames while preserving the quality and resolution of your original footage. AI-generated content is non-destructive, and you can always revert to your original clips if needed.
Can Generative Extend be used on different devices, apps, or operating systems?
Generative Extend is available in {{premiere}} across Windows and macOS. It works within the iPhone app itself. Currently, the feature is not available on Android. Performance may vary depending on system specifications, but the workflow is consistent across supported iPhone models.
How does AI generate additional frames without altering the original footage?
Generative Extend uses Adobe Firefly AI trained on licensed and public domain content to create new frames. Original footage remains untouched, and generated frames are clearly labelled in the timeline, allowing you to extend video length or audio safely and confidently.
Can Generative Extend be used for social media content or long-form videos?
Yes, Generative Extend is suitable for both short social media clips and longer video projects. You can extend shots or audio tracks as needed to improve pacing, storytelling, or transitions without affecting the rest of your project.
