Common Issues When Expanding Video Content Using AI
While AI-based video extension tools are powerful, they can occasionally cause technical imperfections if not used carefully. Below are the most common issues editors may face:
- Reduced Quality: Over-stretched clips may turn blurry.
- Inconsistent Frames: Sometimes unrelated frames are inserted.
- Mismatched Style: Extended footage may have odd tones or colors.
- Distorted Elements: Faces or objects may warp unnaturally.
- Export Issues: Longer extended clips may cause rendering errors.
Kling AI usually handles video extensions well, but it’s video-only. For audio, Wondershare Filmora provides a dedicated AI Audio Stretch tool to maintain perfect synchronization.
