WHEN TO USE IT

A practical option for short video shots.

Grok Imagine is xAI’s video generation family. Start with a still image and describe how the subject and camera should move. Studio keeps that clip connected to the rest of your story. xAI’s video generation guide

01

Animate the moments that matter

Give movement to a reveal, a character action or an important visual beat. Keep the remaining scenes as still images.

Build a batch on a budget

At the current Studio estimate, a four-second Grok clip costs $0.09 at 720p or $0.16 at 1080p. Check the live estimate before submitting.

Each result stays attached to its original shot. Review it alongside the image, prompt and other saved versions.

FROM IDEA TO PROJECT

From approved still to moving scene.

  1. Choose your source images

    Generate or upload the images you want to animate. Review the framing and character details first.

  2. Set Grok on your video shots

    Choose Grok Imagine 1.5 in the video model selector. Set the duration and resolution for each shot.

  3. Give the movement a direction

    Describe the action and camera movement. For a partial update, upload only the numbered video prompts you want to change.

  4. Review, generate and preview

    Confirm the selected shots and cost. Generate the batch, then inspect the resulting clips before export.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE SHOT

One project can use more than one model.

Make the still with Flare for fast image production or refine it with Sunburst for precise image edits. Then choose Grok Imagine 1.5 for the video shots that suit it.

Other scenes can use a different video model or stay as still images. See how model choice works per shot.
