Adobe Premiere's latest update introduces a powerful tool for video
editors: the Generative Extend feature. This innovative tool utilizes AI
video generation to extend video clips, making it easier to achieve
perfectly timed edits.
How it Works
The Generative Extend feature, powered by Adobe Firefly, allows users
to extend video clips by up to two seconds with just a few clicks. While
it's not perfect, especially with complex movements or camera work, it
proves to be a valuable tool for simple extensions and transitions. The
feature can generate new frames from the end of a clip or from any trim
point in a sequence, ensuring a seamless integration into the existing
footage.
Testing the Feature
In tests with various clips, the Generative Extend feature demonstrated
impressive results. For instance:
• A car drifting clip was extended seamlessly, with the AI continuing the
camera movement as the car moved off-screen.
• A clip of a couple walking in slow motion was extended with almost
perfect motion, with only a minor issue with color grading.
• A clip with outdoor individuals walking showed some noticeable jitter,
but the AI maintained their faces and actions naturally.
• A clip of a ballerina proved to be the most challenging, with some
issues with face morphing and disappearance. However, the AI still
managed to generate a decent extension for about one second.
