How to Use the Extend Function in Runway Gen-2 for Longer Generations

If you’re looking to create longer video generations in Gen-2, you’re in the right place. Here’s a quick guide:

  1. Start with Runway Gen-2: Open Gen-2 and initiate a video creation. You can use a text prompt like “Text Plus image” or simply use an image.
  2. Look for the Extend Button: Once your video has been generated, you’ll notice an ‘Extend’ button. This button lets you add an additional 4 seconds to your video.
  3. Repeat the Process: The best part? You can use the extend function up to three times, allowing you to have a video that’s 16 seconds long.
  4. Expect Variations: Each time you use the extend function, the video output will differ. So, don’t hesitate to try multiple extensions to achieve diverse results.
