A 4-second shot becomes 12 — without going back on set
You have the shot you need. It is just too short for the edit. Instead of reshooting or freezing the frame, I extend the scene in Runway and Kling 2: adding 4-8 seconds before and after, in the same lighting, the same motion, the same continuity.
When a critical shot is too short — extend it instead of recutting
- ✓ Avoids freeze-frames and awkward looping that breaks the edit.
- ✓ Cheaper than reshooting and faster than re-licensing stock.
- ✓ Works on real-shot footage and on existing AI-generated clips.
- ✓ Preserves the exact lighting and camera move you already have.
Scene extension uses generative video to lengthen an existing clip from either end (beginning, end, or both). You send me the original — usually 4-6 seconds — I extend it to 10-15 seconds in Runway and Kling 2, with the new frames matching the lighting, motion direction, and camera move of the source. The result reads as one continuous shot, not a stitched extension.
The format fits editors fighting timeline problems, brands sitting on archive footage they want to reuse, and producers who got the shot but the talent left and the location is gone. Common cases: a 4-second drone shot needs to be 12 to cover a voiceover; a product close-up needs more breathing room before the cut; an interview B-roll needs to land softly rather than cutting hard.
Delivery is typically 24-48 hours per shot. For longer extensions or shots with complex motion, I run multiple variations and let you pick the best match. Source files come back with the extended timecode marked, so the editor knows exactly which frames are original and which are new.
Continuity preserved
Lighting, motion direction, and camera move all match the source — the join is invisible.
Extend either end
Add frames before, after, or both. Most common: 4-8 seconds added at the end of a too-short shot.
Works on real and AI footage
Source can be live-shot or previously rendered. The extension matches either.
24-48 hour turnaround
Per-shot delivery in 1-2 business days. Multiple shots run in batch.
How we produce
- 1
Source audit
I check the clip's resolution, motion, and lighting. Some shots need a touch-up before extension.
- 2
Extension plan
We decide how much to add and at which end. For complex shots, multiple variations get rendered.
- 3
Production in Runway and Kling 2
New frames generated, lighting matched, motion direction held.
- 4
Delivery with marked timecode
Extended clip delivered with the new frames marked, so the editor knows which is original.
Scene extension starting price
Per shot, up to 8 seconds added. Complex motion or longer extensions priced higher. Batch discount on 5+ shots.

FAQ
How long can a shot be extended?
Up to 8 seconds is reliable. Beyond that, the join can start to drift — for that range I recommend producing a new shot in Sora 2 or Veo 3 instead.
Will the extended frames look identical to the source?
Lighting and motion match cleanly. Fine detail (faces, text, logos) may shift slightly — for shots with visible text I usually recommend extending only at the end where text is off-screen.
Can you extend a shot with a person in it?
Yes, but the more complex the human motion, the harder the match. For a static face, extension is clean. For a person walking, I extend only by 2-4 seconds.
