Find answers to common questions about the power of Generative Extend brought into Adobe Premiere Pro (beta). 

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

Let's take a look at some of the most common questions you may have as you begin your generative AI journey in Premiere Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Throughout our extensive testing, we’ve succeeded with all sorts of clips, including humans, animals, landscapes, and more. Video clips that seem to work best have less contextual change in the shot, such as a fast-sweeping camera movement. Audio clips with consistent noise or ambiance also perform well.

Clips that do not work well yet include archival clips with a lot of film grain or other noise. We look forward to your feedback to learn more. Currently, multicam source sequence clips will not work with Generative Extend, although you can extend the clips inside the source sequence. 

Generative Extend can add up to 2 seconds for video content and up to 10 seconds for audio content. This means you can extend your video clips by an additional 2 seconds, while audio elements like room tone or background sounds can be stretched for up to 10 seconds. 

No, currently, Generative Extend only supports landscape videos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Specifically, it works with resolutions of 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720. Vertical videos or other aspect ratios used for social media platforms are not currently supported. We're aware of the importance of vertical video formats and are considering this for future updates to the feature. 

While Generative Extend is primarily designed for raw footage that has been shot, it can technically work on clips with text overlays or graphics. However, it's important to note that this isn't its intended use case. Using it on such clips might produce interesting and potentially unexpected results. 

Yes, Generative Extend can work with slow-motion and time-lapse footage. 

Generative Extend is designed to analyze and understand camera movements in the original clip and will continue these movements in the extended portion. This means if your clip has a pan, tilt, zoom, or other camera motion, the AI will attempt to seamlessly extend this movement in a natural way. 

The generated media is downloaded to your project folder in a subfolder called Generated Media. By default, this will be within your project's directory structure. However, you have the flexibility to change this location if needed. You can modify the storage location for generated media by going to the Preferences menu and adjusting the settings in the Scratch Disks section. 

If you are moving projects to a new location, and get offine Media for generated extension on timeline, then you need to move the Generated Media folder to the same new location.

After using Generative Extend to extend your clip, the generated media is combined with your original clip in a nested sequence. You have several options to remove the generated media: 

  1. Trim out the AI-generated parts directly in your main sequence. 

  2. Open the nested sequence and delete the generated part from the clip. 

  3. Replace the entire nested sequence with your original clip. 

These methods give you flexibility in managing your edit, allowing you to easily revert to your original footage or fine-tune the use of generated content in your project. 

No, dialogue isn't extended. During the extension process, dialogue is muted. Generative Extend only extends the room tone, sound effects, and background audio. This approach helps maintain the integrity of the original dialogue while allowing for seamless extension of the ambient audio elements. 

Generative Extend takes a short segment (typically between 1.5 - 3 seconds) of your clip and sends it to a cloud AI model. The AI analyzes this segment and creates an extension based on it. The tool then returns this AI-generated extension as a new clip for you to use in your project. Your original media remains untouched. 

No, your media isn't training Adobe's AI model. We understand the importance of your content and privacy. Generative Extend uses your clip solely to create the extension you've requested without using it to improve the AI. Learn more about our generative AI commitments.

If you don't like the result, don't worry - you can easily regenerate your extensions. Right-click on the AI-generated label and choose Regenerate to create a new variation. You can do this multiple times until you're satisfied with the outcome. Also, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could provide feedback on whether the result is good or bad. Your input helps us improve the tool and ensure it meets your needs better in the future. 

Yes, you can generate multiple variations with Generative Extend. This feature allows you to explore different possibilities for your extended content. To create a new variation, right-click on the AI-generated label and select Regenerate. You can repeat this process to produce several unique extensions, giving you more creative options to choose from for your project. 

Right-click on the AI label and select Good result or Bad result. In the dialogue box that appears, you can provide the reason why the result was good or bad. This direct feedback helps us improve the tool and better understand your needs. It's a quick and easy way to share your experience and suggest improvements directly within the software.
