Your First Generation

This guide walks you through generating your first AI video directly inside Adobe Premiere Pro.

Step 1: Select a Clip on the Timeline

Click on a video or image clip on your Premiere Pro timeline. modelBridge.ai will detect the selection and display clip information in the panel — including duration, resolution, and media type.

Tip

For your first generation, try selecting a still image. Image-to-video models turn a single frame into a short animated clip, which is a fast and impressive way to see what AI generation can do.

Step 2: Choose a Model

In the modelBridge.ai panel, you will see the model selector at the top. You can:

• Browse the currently loaded models
• Search for models using the search bar (e.g., “kling”, “wan”, “ltx”)
• Filter by category using the filter chips (text-to-video, image-to-video, etc.)

For your first generation, try a popular model like Kling Video v3 or Wan 2.6 — both are reliable image-to-video models.

Step 3: Write a Prompt

Enter a text prompt describing what you want the AI to generate. Be specific about motion, camera angle, and mood:

“Slow dolly forward through a misty forest at dawn, soft golden light filtering through the trees, cinematic”

The prompt field supports long descriptions. More detail generally produces better results.

Step 4: Check the Cost Estimate

Before generating, look at the cost badge near the Generate button. It shows one of these states:

• $X.XX Estimated — a reliable pre-generation estimate based on your current settings
• From $X.XX — a minimum starting price (actual cost may be higher)
• Price not available — no pricing data for this model

The estimate updates live as you change parameters like duration and resolution.

Step 5: Generate

Click the Generate button. The button transforms into a progress indicator showing the current stage:

1. Submitting — sending your request to fal.ai
2. Queued — waiting for a GPU
3. Generating — the AI model is producing output
4. Downloading — retrieving the result
5. Importing — adding the result to your Premiere Pro project

Step 6: View the Result

When generation completes, the result is automatically imported into your Premiere Pro Project panel. For video generations, it can also be placed directly on the timeline, replacing or fitting alongside your source clip.

A preview of the result appears in the panel so you can evaluate it before using it in your edit.

Background Generation

If a generation takes longer than expected, modelBridge.ai automatically hands it off to background processing. You can:

• Continue editing while the generation runs
• See progress in the Active Generations panel
• Receive a notification when it completes

You do not need to keep the panel focused for generation to continue.

What to Try Next

• Text-to-video — generate a clip from a prompt alone, no source media needed. See the Text-to-Video Guide.
• Inpainting — mask part of an image and replace it with AI-generated content. See the Inpainting Guide.
• Explore models — browse all 900+ available models in the Available Models section.
