How to Extend AI Video
Want to know how to extend AI video—add neighboring seconds to a clip you already like? On VideoAny, open the AI Video Extender tool, upload a source clip you are authorized to continue, write a short continuation prompt, and generate about +5 seconds of AI continuation (default model Seedance 2.0 on that tool). Credit cost shows before submit. Eligible accounts get starter credits; plans start from $19. This page is the SFW how-to; /video-extend is the live tool—do not treat this tutorial as a replacement for the extender. Continuation is not a lossless splice of your original frames.
Open video extendTutorial page vs tool page
| Role | URL | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| How-to (this page) | /how-to-extend-ai-video | You want steps, expectations, and prompt tips |
| Tool (extender) | video extend | You are ready to upload and run |
Keep Title/H1 on the how-to question. Keep the extender page as the product URL for “AI video extender” tool intent.
How to extend an AI video clip in VideoAny
- Have a source clip Use a short clip you generated or own. If you only have a still, start on image to video first—extend needs a video input.
- Open the extender Go to video extend. Confirm the workbench shows upload + continuation prompt. Default model on this tool is Seedance 2.0 unless your session shows otherwise—trust the UI.
- Write a continuation prompt Describe what should happen next, not a full remake. Example: “Continue slow push-in, same lighting, subject keeps walking forward.” Avoid contradictory camera flips.
- Read credits and submit Expect about +5 seconds of continuation by default. Exact length and look depend on model options—check the estimate. This is AI continuation, not frame-perfect lossless splicing.
- Inspect endpoints Watch the join between original and new motion. If identity drifts, tighten the prompt or re-export a cleaner source before spending more credits.
Continuation prompt tips
- Speak in next-beat language: “continue…”, “keep…”, “then…”.
- Reuse the same lighting and subject identity cues from the source.
- Prefer one motion vector over a list of cuts.
- If you need a rewrite of the whole clip (keep/change instructions), use the video editor path instead of extend.
Extend vs start over from a photo
| Situation | Prefer |
|---|---|
| Clip is good; need a few more seconds | video extend (this how-to) |
| Only a still; no source video yet | image to video |
| Want first & last frame endpoints | ai video first last frame |
| Want Wan-led prompt / image / frames | image to video |
| Wan vs Seedance (extend default) | wan 2 7 vs seedance |
| Better motion prompt before re-run | best prompt image to video |

Frequently asked questions
How do I extend an AI video on VideoAny?
Open video extend, upload your clip, write a continuation prompt, read credits, and submit. Default model on that tool is Seedance 2.0 when shown.
How long does the extender add?
About +5 seconds of continuation by default. Exact results depend on the model and options—check the workbench.
Is this a lossless splice?
No. VideoAny generates continuation from your upload and prompt—it does not losslessly splice original frames.
Is this page the same as /video-extend?
No. This page is the tutorial; /video-extend is the tool. Link both; do not replace the tool URL with this how-to.
Can I extend a clip that started from a photo?
Yes—first create the clip via image to video (steps: how to turn image into video ai), then extend. Or use first/last frames on Wan when that input fits—see image to video and ai video first last frame.
Is extending free?
Eligible accounts may use starter credits. Not unlimited free. Plans from $19—pricing. Starter framing: text to video.
