Luma AI has upgraded its Vincent video model Dream Machine, adding the Extend function, which significantly increases the video generation time. This function allows users to extend the initially generated 5-second video to more than 10 seconds while maintaining the consistency of video style and characters, which greatly facilitates users to create longer video content. The upgrade is mainly reflected in the new "Extend" button on the Dream Machine video generation page. Users only need to click the button and enter a new prompt word to extend the video duration.
Recently, Luma AI upgraded its Vincent video model Dream Machine and released the Extend function, which can extend the video duration to more than 10 seconds based on the original 5-second video generation, while maintaining the same original video style and characters.

Now, when you enter the Dream Machine video generation page, you can see that the originally generated work has an "Extend" option. Using the Extend function, as long as you click the "Extend" button at the video position and continue to enter the prompt word, the video can be extended by 5 seconds. Let's test the effect of Extend.
First, upload this cookie image and let Dream Machine generate a splash effect video:

Prompt word 1, "Falling splash effect, Soft change of light and shadow", the generated effect video is as follows:
Then, we continue to generate a 10-second video of the splash effect based on the generated 5-second video. Prompt word 2: Sustained splash to show cookie grain detail, the video extension effect is as follows:
During the testing process, the Extend function took longer to generate extended videos and the efficiency became lower, but the style consistency was maintained very well.

All in all, Dream Machine's Extend function provides users with a more flexible video creation experience. Although the efficiency is slightly reduced, its advantage of maintaining style consistency is still significant. It is expected that Luma AI can further optimize this function and improve generation efficiency in the future.
