Grok Imagine Video

by xAI

Grok Imagine Video generates video from text prompts and still images, accepting text, image, and video inputs to produce short-form video output. It supports durations from 1 to 15 seconds with aspect ratios including 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, and others, at 480p and 720p resolutions. Generated video includes synchronized native audio that matches the scene, from background music to sound effects, so a single request produces clips with sound without a separate audio step. This makes it suited to short-form video, social content, and prototyping where text or an existing image is the starting point.
