Tong’s new Video Extender lets you continue an existing video with newly generated footage. Instead of rebuilding a useful shot from the beginning, you can start with a clip you already have and describe what should happen next.
The feature is available from Video Extender in the Videos menu and through Video Editor. It is useful when an action ends too soon, a camera move needs another beat, or a scene needs room to breathe before the next cut.
Continue from the right moment
Open Video Extender, choose your source video and select the section you want to continue. The selected range matters: the model needs a useful visual starting point for the next action. A clear ending with a readable subject usually gives you a more deliberate brief than an abrupt cut between unrelated shots.
Describe the continuation rather than restating the whole film. An original example is: “The sailboat continues toward the open water while the camera keeps its slow, level movement.” This is a suggested creative direction, not a tested output.
Choose settings for the selected model
Extension models have different source requirements and duration controls. Review the options shown for your selected model, including whether the duration describes added footage or the resulting clip. Choose the available output and audio options that suit the edit, then review the quoted price before generating.
The model directory helps you compare Tong’s broader video tools. Use the controls actually available in Video Extender when planning an extension.
Check the join as part of the edit
Watch the original section and continuation together. Look at the subject’s position, light, direction of travel and camera movement around the join. A continuation can introduce new motion, so review the result before treating it as a finished sequence.
