Turn text prompts or reference images into short Grok Imagine video clips. Choose duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and creative mode before generation.
Motion inspiration
These clips are visual inspiration from the AI video gallery. Use them to plan camera language, pacing, framing, and prompt direction. They are not verified Grok Imagine outputs unless explicitly labeled as model proof.
Camera rhythm
Prompt cue: short-form action, natural motion, clear aspect ratio, mood direction
Decide whether the shot should track, pan, push in, orbit, or stay locked before writing the final prompt.
Prompt cue: short-form action, natural motion, clear aspect ratio, mood direction
Choose text or image input based on how strongly the subject, product, or character needs to stay recognizable.
Input path: text-to-video for concepts, image-to-video for character or product anchors
Pick aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and mode around the destination before spending credits.
Planning frame: 6-30 seconds, 480p or 720p, text or image input
Why Grok Imagine
Grok Imagine is best framed as a short-form video workflow. Plan one motion idea, one subject, one aspect ratio, a duration, a resolution, and the creative mode before generation.
