Skywork AI SkyReels V3 Extend Video Cutshot continues an existing video clip with newly generated footage while allowing control over shot transition behavior through cut_type. Upload a source video, describe how the scene should evolve, and generate an extension that continues the story with smoother or more intentional cut-style progression.
Video continuation with shot control Extend an existing clip while influencing how the continuation is cut or transitioned.
Prompt-guided scene evolution Describe what should happen next using natural language.
Cut-style flexibility
Use cut_type to control how the model handles the continuation shot structure.
Simple workflow Upload one video, write a prompt, choose cut behavior and duration, then generate the extension.
Production-ready API Suitable for scene continuation, short-form storytelling, product demos, and creative editing workflows.

The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Skyreels v3 Video Extend Cutshot below.

time.sleep(2)Skyreels v3 Video Extend Cutshot is a Skywork Ai model for video extension, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. SkyReels V3 Extend Video Cutshot is a fast AI video extension model that extends an existing video with a cinematic cutshot transition guided by a text prompt. Ready-to-use REST inference API for scene transitions, storytelling sequences, advertising creatives, social media clips, product videos, and professional video generation workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/skywork-ai/skywork-ai-skyreels-v3-video-extend-cutshot.
Skyreels v3 Video Extend Cutshot starts at $0.20 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `video`, `duration`, `cut_type`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/skywork-ai/skywork-ai-skyreels-v3-video-extend-cutshot.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Skywork Ai). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
