3 ways to add length

How to Make AI Videos Longer

Use Extend only when a tool supports continuing the same clip. Otherwise create another take or join completed clips in an editor; those methods do not preserve the original shot.

Choose a method

What do you want to preserve?

Continue this clipKeeping the exact last frame, action or scene.Not available in Hotel Lobby AI
What changes: A real Extend feature must use the existing output as context. Starting a new generation does not preserve the shot.
Create another takeMaking a second short performance with the same people or topic.Available as a new task
What changes: A new task can change framing, motion, faces and audio. Treat it as another take, not a continuation.
Edit clips togetherBuilding a longer sequence from completed downloads.External workflow
What changes: An external editor joins files; it cannot recover missing motion or guarantee visual continuity.

Keep the sequence coherent

For another take, reuse the same authorized adult portraits and describe one adjacent moment rather than repeating a full story. Expect the new framing, gestures and generated audio to vary. Review the current displayed credit cost before submitting each task.

For editing, download every completed clip first. Put them in the intended order, trim the joins and use a simple cut when motion, lighting or faces do not match. Review the full export for repeated words, abrupt audio and identity changes.

Separate clip length from waiting time

A longer final edit can require several independent tasks and external editing. It does not make any single task finish faster. Read the waiting guide before resubmitting a delayed request, and compare production costs before planning a larger project.
