Visual and audio continuity
The end of the existing shot becomes the starting point for the next sequence.
When to use this mode
- Lengthen a shot without starting over.
- Continue a walk, camera move, or action that is already underway.
- Gradually reveal a new space after the current clip ends.
Continuity to maintain
- The subject's direction and speed.
- The camera's height, distance, and path.
- Lighting, weather, and the geometry of the setting.
- Editing rhythm and sound ambience.

COPY-READY EXAMPLE
"The cyclist continues along the same road and enters the sunlit tunnel ahead. The camera maintains the same following distance and speed, while the city ambience gradually fades into a soft tunnel echo."
What to avoid and how to improve it
| Avoid | Improved version |
|---|---|
| The cyclist stops, flies into space, changes clothes and enters another city. | The cyclist maintains the same speed and follows the road into the tunnel as the camera continues directly behind. |
Capabilities and limitations
- Ideal for extending a successful scene.
- A new action that is too different from the existing ending can break continuity.
- Repeated extensions may gradually alter details of the subject or setting.
- For a major change, create a new shot or use Video to Video instead.
Quick checklist
The next action begins exactly where the video ends.
The camera keeps the same direction and speed.
Lighting and environment evolve naturally.
The prompt does not summarize the entire video that has already been generated.
