# Add natural footage before or after a clip

AI Video Continuation adds matching footage before or after one short source clip, holding a moment longer, completing a reveal, adding a lead-in, or creating a natural ending. The extended clip comes back as an MP4 of up to 30 seconds, with the new footage generated from your clip's subject, camera, lighting, and atmosphere. AI Video Continuation works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

## One source video, one naturally extended clip

### Match the source boundary

Carry forward the subject, camera, lighting, and atmosphere at the join point so the new footage follows naturally.

### One clear next beat

Extend toward one defined next event for a legible, reviewable continuation.

## How it is made

### Continuity state · Read the join point first

Capture subject, camera, lighting, and atmosphere at the source boundary, then define the single next beat.

- Freeze subject, camera, lighting
- Pick before or after
- State the next beat

### One extension · Generate the matching footage

Add one extension to the opening or ending and review the seam, motion direction, and continuity.

- One source video, one extension
- Review the seam
- Deliver the extended clip

## Stronger endings, longer holds, and action continuation

### Stronger endings and longer holds

Hold a moment longer or land a more satisfying ending on an existing clip.

### Action continuation and reveals

Carry an action forward or complete a reveal that the source cut short.

### Product and landscape extensions

Extend a product reveal or landscape shot with matching footage for longer, richer clips.

The new footage is generated from your clip and follows its motion direction, subject, camera, and lighting; the extended clip runs up to 30 seconds.
