About

Extend a video using Google's Veo 3.1 model.

This endpoint takes an existing video and extends it based on a text prompt. The prompt should describe how the video should continue or be extended.

Include in your prompt:

  • Action: What should happen next in the video
  • Style: Maintain or transition to a specific visual style
  • Camera motion (optional): How the camera should move
  • Ambiance (optional): Desired mood and atmosphere

More details are available in our prompting guide.

The model supports:

  • Input videos up to 8 seconds in length
  • 720p or 1080p resolution
  • 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio
  • Natural motion continuation

Note: Video extension is only supported via Vertex AI.

Safety filters are applied to both input videos and generated content.

1. Calling the API#

Install the client#

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Setup your API Key#

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request#

The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/veo3.1/extend-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Continue the scene naturally, maintaining the same style and motion.",
    video_url: "https://v3b.fal.media/files/b/0a8670fe/pY8UGl4_C452wOm9XUBYO_9ae04df8771c4f3f979fa5cabeca6ada.mp4"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

2. Authentication#

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key#

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

3. Queue#

Submit a request#

The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/veo3.1/extend-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Continue the scene naturally, maintaining the same style and motion.",
    video_url: "https://v3b.fal.media/files/b/0a8670fe/pY8UGl4_C452wOm9XUBYO_9ae04df8771c4f3f979fa5cabeca6ada.mp4"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status#

You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/veo3.1/extend-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result#

Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/veo3.1/extend-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files#

Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.

Data URI (base64)#

You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.

Hosted files (URL)#

You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.

Uploading files#

We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);

Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
