How do I extend a clip with Generative Extend in Premiere Pro 25.2?

Add a short generated handle when a reaction, transition or background sound needs more room.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Here's the approach.

Premiere Pro 25.2 introduced the released Generative Extend workflow. Select the Generative Extend tool and drag the beginning or end of a clip to request new media. It needs an internet connection because generation uses a cloud model.

Adobe documents a minimum source length of two seconds for video and three seconds for audio, with extensions of up to two seconds of video or ten seconds of audio. Check the generated result before using it. This is generated footage, so it requires editorial review and may use Adobe generative credits under your plan.
