Runway Let Me Stretch a Three-Second Clip Into Ten Without a Visible Cut

The extend tool is magic until the face moves. Here's how I hid that.

I had a great three-second shot that was too short to use. Runway's extend gave me ten.

The first extension jumped when the subject's face shifted, so I masked the face and extended the background.

I kept the camera slow. Fast motion is where the model shows its seams.

Credits drained quicker than I expected, so I rendered the good take last.

For a social cut it passed. For a hero film I'd still shoot more coverage.

The AI draft is the starting point, not the send button. Here is the three-pass routine that keeps it human.

A research paper I'd been avoiding became a 25-minute walk. The workflow is dumb, and that's why it worked.

Not zero-inbox. A loop that decides what is real so I only touch email twice a day.
