Generative Extend in Premiere Pro

[Sumeet Kumar Choubey]

Premiere Pro v25.2 introduces Generative Extend
(Previously in Beta)

Adobe's Premiere Pro is getting a major upgrade with the introduction of Generative Extend, a new feature powered by the Adobe Firefly Video Model. This exciting addition promises to revolutionize the way editors work with video clips, providing a solution to one of the most common challenges in video editing.

What is Generative Extend?

Generative Extend is a tool that allows editors to seamlessly add frames to make clips longer. This means you can now easily extend the duration of a shot without the need for additional footage or complex workarounds.

How does it work?

Using Generative Extend is intuitive and works as expected.

1. Find the clip in your sequence that you want to extend.
2. Select the Create Extension tool from the toolbar .   
3. Select and drag the edge of a video or audio clip to extend it.
   Generative Extend will create additional frames and insert them into your sequence.
4. Once processing is complete, AI-generated labels will appear on the clip, highlighting the generated frames.
5. If you are not satisfied with the initial expansion,   right-click on  the AI-generated label and select Regenerate  for a new variation . You can also use the same dialog to provide feedback on the generated output. The tool uses advanced AI to analyze the clip and generate new frames that match the original content, ensuring consistency in motion, lighting, and overall look.

Things to remember

Generative Extend currently has some limitations that must be taken into account to ensure optimal results. 

• Frame size : The following resolutions are supported 
  - 1920x1080 or 1080x1920
  - 720x1280 or 1280x720
  - 3840x2160 or 2160x3840
  - 4096x2160 or 2160x4096 

• You can increase the length. Video can be increased up to 2 seconds, audio up to 10 seconds.

• Frame Rate : The creation extension requires clips with a frame rate of 12 to 30 fps.
• Bit Depth:  Currently 8-bit SDR clips are supported.

• Location of Generated Media:  You can set the location of generated assets in the File > Project Settings > Scratch Disks section.

Authenticity of content

Premiere Pro now supports content credentials. Clips with generated frames can be labeled in Export Settings > General tab > Export Content Credentials.

Export Content Credentials

The Content Authenticity tool can verify images generated by your app. To learn more about content credentials and content authenticity, see the following links .

Why It's a Game Changer 

Generative Extend is a major advancement in video editing technology. Adobe uses AI to give editors unprecedented control and flexibility.  Generative Extend solves several common editing problems.

• Timing : You can now hold shots for extra beats to match audio cues or improve pacing.
• Transitions : Add a few frames to add handles to handle transitions between shots.
• Fine-tune editing : Fine-tune your edits without the constraints of the original footage.

Real world applications

Imagine you’re editing a documentary and need to extend the B-Roll to include a voiceover. Or maybe you’re working on a music video and want to keep a few more frames of a particular shot to match the beat. Generative Extend not only makes it possible, it makes it easy.

Try it now!

To test out the new Generative Extend, install the latest version of Premiere Pro from the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Before you use Generative Extend for the first time, read the user guide for the feature  . The creative community is buzzing with excitement, and this tool (and others to come) will open up new possibilities for editors at all levels.

Adobe also offers access to Beta versions to try new features before general availability. Refer to this link to learn more about the Creative Cloud Beta program. You can learn more about the available Beta features & share feedback at our Beta Community page. Here's how to install the Premiere Pro beta:

Creative Cloud Beta Program

[Blue-Marble]

What is the minimum number of frames needed for a generation to happen. Can a single frame be used to generate a video?

[SankarDS]

Premiere Pro needs 2 sec of video content for successfull extend generation.
As of now image to video is not supported in Premiere.

[Kyle Kramb]

wouldn't that be a freeze frame?

[mtvideo4]

Got my Premiere updated and can't find the Generative Extend tool on the toolbox. Why? IUs there another way or path to find it?

[SankarDS]

Generative Extend is available in Premiere Pro 25.1 Beta builds. Can you please share your build number?

Hoping that the Generative Extend receive the update for vertical videos soon.

This is an awesome update. Been waiting to see where the firefly video model will be useful 

[Jsmn265733014asm]

I tested it on a talking head. I wanted to extend the end part a bit after the person speaks -- it would be great if it generated a clip of the person staying still, but the person kept talking 😅😂 Great feature, though! I'm excited to use this on other stuff!

[Rollan Banez]

Thank you for this guide, highly appreciated.

[Valdair Leonardo]

[pixellingo]

Oh yeah, this is a welcome new addition to my magical toolbox!

[Nick Gioia]

Whoa, this is heavy! It most definitely is a game-changer!

[gillianw32636657]

Has anyone else encountered threats when downloading the beta?  My Norton picked up a virus, see attached. 

[davescm]

I don't see any Beta apps listed under Beta in Creative Cloud, except for Aero.  Is this as expected?
