Learn how to seamlessly add a few more frames to perfectly time edits, hold on to an emotional beat, cover a transition, or add room tone to your soundtrack.

  Use new beta features

Generative Extend is now available for testing and feedback with limitations. Try it now in Premiere Pro (beta).

Get started

The Generative Extend tool, powered by Adobe Firefly, lets editors add those extra few frames to tell their story their way. Just click and drag to seamlessly add a few more frames to the beginning or end of a video or audio clip – to hold on to a character reaction for an extra beat, create a smoother transition, extend background sounds, or hide an unwanted camera movement. 

Alert:

An internet connection is required to access Generative Extend as it utilizes a cloud AI model.

Learn how to use Generative Extend to create extra frames.

How it works

  1. Identify a clip in your sequence you’d like to extend. Video clips should be at least 2 seconds long, while audio clips must have a minimum duration of at least 3 seconds.

  2. Select the Generative Extend Tool   in the Toolbar. 

  3. Select and drag the edge of a video or audio clip to the desired length. 

    Note:

    Video clips can be extended up to 2 seconds, while audio can be extended up to 10 seconds. 

    The UI of the Timeline panel, with a clip selected and dragged to add additional frames using Generative Extend.
    Generative Extend will create additional frames and insert them into your sequence.

  4. The AI-generated frames are labeled. If you're not satisfied with the initial extension, right-click on the AI-generated label and select Regenerate for a new variation. 

Limitations in beta 

Generative video is complex, and we’re making significant progress every week. Since Generative Extend is the first generative AI tool built for editors, we wanted to get it into your hands right away. For now, we have some limitations in beta. Our goal is to remove as many of these limitations as possible before this feature comes out of beta. 

Higher resolution will soon be supported, expanding the range of media types that can benefit from Generative Extend. Generative Extend does not yet work in Team projects. We're working on reviewing the advanced workflow to make passing projects to other creatives seamless. We're continuously working to enhance its capabilities to meet evolving needs and industry standards. 

Video 

These limitations are on the source media. Right now, you can’t extend media outside of these parameters, even if they are scaled in a sequence. 

  • 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolutions
  • 16:9 aspect ratio
  • 12-30fps
  • 8 bit, SDR

Audio

  • Generative Extend cannot create or extend spoken dialogue. During extension, existing dialogue will be muted to preserve the integrity of the original speech content.
  • Due to the complexity of musical structures and potential copyright concerns, clips containing music are not eligible for extension.
  • Currently, only mono and stereo audio are supported. Surround sound and 5.1 audio formats are not compatible with Generative Extend.

Managing Generated Content 

When you use Generative Extend, the AI-generated media is automatically saved to your project. By default, you'll find these files in a Generated Media folder within your project's directory. This keeps your original and generated content organized together. However, we understand that you might have specific storage needs or preferences. If you'd like to change where these files are saved, you can easily do so. Open Preferences > Scratch Disks. Here, you can specify a new location for your generated media, allowing you to manage your storage according to your workflow and space requirements. 

Privacy and Data Usage 

Your media is never used to train Adobe's AI model. It's solely used to create the requested extension, ensuring your content remains private and under your control. Learn more about our generative AI commitments.

Future Improvements 

We're constantly working to enhance Generative Extend. Future updates aim to support higher resolutions, frame rates, HDR content, and additional aspect ratios, including vertical video for social media. 

Your Feedback Matters 

Help us improve! After each extension, right-click on the AI label and select Good Output or Poor Output. You can provide specific feedback on why the result worked well or needed improvement.
