How to get the best out of Gen-3 Turbo Extend
Gen-3 Turbo Extend on Pixio lengthens a Runway Gen-3 video: you provide an existing clip (and optionally a prompt to steer the continuation), and the model extends it forward (or backward where supported) while preserving look and motion. Use it when you have a Gen-3 clip that you want to make longer without re-generating from scratch.
Gen-3 Turbo Extend
Gen-3 Turbo Extend on Pixio lengthens a Runway Gen-3 video: you provide an existing clip (and optionally a prompt to steer the continuation), and the model extends it forward (or backward where supported) while preserving look and motion. Use it when you have a Gen-3 clip that you want to make longer without re-generating from scratch.
Use this when
- You have a Runway Gen-3 (or compatible) clip and want to extend it—make it longer.
- You want the continuation to match the original’s look and motion; optional prompt can steer what happens next.
- You’re building longer sequences in the Gen-3 pipeline (generate → extend → extend again if needed).
- You don’t need to change aspect ratio or expand the frame (use Gen-3 Turbo Expand for that).
Modes in Pixio
| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Extend | Existing Gen-3 clip + optional prompt | Lengthen the clip; prompt guides continuation |
Options
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Input | One video (Gen-3 output or compatible) | Check Pixio for max duration and format |
| Direction | Forward (typical); backward if supported | Extend from end (or start) |
| Credits | Per run or per second | Check model card in Pixio |
Credits
Credits depend on length added (or per extend run); check the model card in Pixio for current rates.
Why extend after generate
Gen-3 Turbo Extend doesn’t create new video from a still—it continues an existing clip. The model keeps the scene, character, and motion style and generates the next segment. Use an optional prompt to describe what should happen next (e.g. “camera continues to pan right”). For wider framing or aspect-ratio change, use Gen-3 Turbo Expand (Outpaint) instead.
