03Open the panel in Final Cut Pro

In Final Cut Pro, go to Window → Extensions → Extender. The Generative Extend panel is ready to use.

The generative feature Final Cut Pro left behind

Premiere Pro already has Generative Extend. CapCut has an AI video extender. Final Cut Pro still leaves a blank spot on the timeline for that job.

Stretch the clip you already have

Select a shot, pull the edge, and get new frames that continue from your footage. Built for the "I need one more second" edit, not a full AI movie.

Stay inside Final Cut Pro

It runs as a Workflow Extension. Generated media lands back on your timeline, so you never leave the app for a browser round-trip.

Buy credits, spend when you extend

Grab a credit pack and spend credits when you generate. Early access uses credit packs instead of a monthly plan.

How Generative Extend works in FCP

Same muscle memory as trimming. Select the clip, pull the edge past the media end, wait for new frames. Those frames match what you shot and sit on the timeline like normal media.

Pick the clip that came up short A hold that dies early, a pan that needs two more beats, a cut that wants handles.

Extend from the edge Pull past the last frame. Cloud AI continues the motion from your existing footage.

Keep cutting The result drops onto the timeline. Scrub it, trim it, move on.
