# Video Extend
Video Extend adds 5 seconds of new content to the end of an existing video. You can let the AI continue the clip naturally in Auto mode, or write a prompt in Manual mode to direct exactly what should happen in the extension.
## How to extend a video
Navigate to [Video Studio](https://www.imagine.art/video) and select **Video Extend** to begin.
You can select an existing asset from your uploads or upload one from your computer
The model analyses the last frames of your clip and generates a natural continuation that maintains the same scene, motion, and style.
Best when:
* The existing video has clear, ongoing motion that should continue (e.g. a camera pan, a walking character, flowing water)
* You want a quick extension without writing a prompt
* The visual content at the end of the clip provides enough context for the AI to continue coherently
Write a custom prompt describing what should happen in the additional video. You can specify new actions, introduce new scene elements, or direct a change in camera angle or subject focus.
**Example prompts:**
* `The character continues walking and turns a corner, revealing a busy marketplace`
* `The camera slowly pulls back to reveal the full landscape`
* `Rain begins to fall, intensifying with each second`
This is best when:
* You want to direct a specific continuation rather than letting the AI decide
* The clip ends at a neutral or static moment that doesn't naturally suggest what comes next
* You're building a multi-segment narrative and need each extension to advance the story
Click **Generate**. The AI produces the extension and appends it to your original clip, delivering a combined video as the output.
