Why This Matters
Default Runway videos are short — 4-10 seconds. For longer videos, you need to use Extend. Extend chains clips together to build longer sequences. This lesson teaches how to use Extend effectively.
Concept Explained
Extend takes an existing video clip and adds more video to it, creating a longer sequence. The extension continues from where the original clip ended, maintaining visual consistency. Each extension costs additional credits. You can extend multiple times to build videos of 30+ seconds. This is essential for creating longer-form content like social media posts, ads, or short films.
