What is Grok Imagine Video

Grok Imagine Video is xAI's text-to-video and image-to-video model in the Grok Imagine family. The current issuer API name is grok-imagine-video-1.5. It is the video SKU beside Grok Imagine stills, not a stills generator.

  • Text or still

    Prompt-only text-to-video, or image-to-video from a first frame.

  • Short clips

    CamArt Generate is 6 or 10 seconds. Issuer 1.5 documents 1 to 15 seconds.

  • Framing

    T2V on CamArt: 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1. I2V follows the still.

  • HD output

    720p on CamArt. Issuer 1.5 also documents 1080p for T2V and I2V.

  • Directed motion

    Camera, action, and atmosphere go in the prompt.

  • 1.5 soundtrack

    Official 1.5 generates SFX, ambience, and dialogue with the picture. CamArt Generate does not add a Sound toggle on this SKU.

    Pringles can food commercial

    PROMPT

    Create a premium, hyper-realistic cinematic food-commercial animation from the provided Pringles image. Keep the Pringles can, branding, typography, colors, background, and overall composition exactly unchanged. Do not redesign or replace any elements. The animation begins with the Pringles can gently rotating and tilting forward while the camera slowly pushes in. The golden chips rise naturally from the open can in smooth slow motion, spinning and tumbling individually with realistic physics. Small crumbs float through the air and catch the studio light. The red Pringles lid slowly spins in mid-air and moves subtly toward the camera before drifting back. Add realistic depth-of-field, tiny floating crumbs, natural motion blur, glossy highlights on the can, and subtle reflections. Make the chips feel crispy and lightweight, with believable gravity and collisions. The can should remain stable and sharp while the floating chips create the main motion. Use a smooth luxury advertising style: dramatic studio lighting, cinematic camera movement, realistic shadows, shallow depth of field, high detail, polished commercial photography, and seamless motion. End with the can centered prominently in frame, chips suspended beautifully around it, creating a satisfying hero shot. No people, no hands, no new objects, no warped branding, no distorted text, no melting, no morphing, no flickering, no camera shake. Duration: 8–10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9 landscape. Motion: smooth, cinematic, realistic, premium food advertisement.

  • Food & Cooking

    Note under the matcha bowl

    PROMPT

    Animate this image into a photorealistic cinematic 15-second video. Preserve the woman's exact face, hairstyle, clothing, jewelry, body proportions, café interior, Japanese tea-shop details, lighting, and composition. 0–4 sec: She calmly finishes preparing the matcha, gently sliding the ceramic bowl forward on the wooden counter. Her movements are careful and natural. Subtle breathing, blinking, hair movement, and realistic fabric motion. 4–7 sec: As she moves the bowl, she notices a small folded handwritten note underneath it. She pauses, looks down with curiosity, and carefully picks up the note. 7–10 sec: She unfolds the note and reads it. Her expression slowly changes from neutral to surprised. She rereads it once, clearly confused by what it says. 10–13 sec: She looks around the quiet tea shop, scanning the room as if trying to figure out who left the note. She briefly looks toward the entrance. 13–15 sec: She looks back at the note and quietly whispers, “For me?” Then she gives a small uncertain smile as the video ends. Natural realistic acting, subtle facial expressions, delicate hand movements, realistic paper interaction, accurate fingers, natural hair physics, warm Japanese café atmosphere, soft cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, gentle handheld camera movement. No exaggerated movements, no sudden camera motion, no extra people, no face changes, no outfit changes, no object morphing, no distorted hands.

  • Cute & Wholesome

    Mouse developer at midnight

    PROMPT

    Create a 10-second humorous cinematic scene featuring an ORIGINAL anthropomorphic mouse working as a software developer. The mouse sits at a cluttered computer desk late at night, fur slightly messy, wearing tiny glasses and a hoodie. Multiple monitors display abstract, fictional lines of computer code. He types rapidly, then suddenly gets a frustrating error on the screen. He sighs heavily, rubs his face, and mutters in frustration. In the background, his mouse wife keeps talking loudly from another room. The mouse pauses, looks toward the doorway with an exhausted expression, then slowly turns back to the computer and starts typing again. Comedic timing, expressive facial animation, realistic mouse movements, detailed fur, cozy apartment interior, warm desk lamp, subtle monitor glow, cinematic camera movement, natural body language. Camera starts with a medium shot of the mouse coding, slowly pushes in toward his frustrated face, then cuts to a reaction shot as he hears his wife. Include natural comedic dialogue: Mouse: "I can fix the code... but I can't fix my marriage." Wife (off-screen): "I HEARD THAT!" The mouse freezes and nervously looks at the camera. 16:9 landscape, 10 seconds, cinematic quality, smooth animation, realistic lighting, expressive characters, clear dialogue, accurate lip synchronization, no logos, no copyrighted characters, no text or watermark.

    Catching the falling book

    PROMPT

    Create a photorealistic, cozy 15-second cinematic video from this exact image. Preserve the woman's exact face, hairstyle, cardigan, jewelry, body proportions, bedroom, bed, books, lamp, wall decorations, lighting, and overall composition. 0–4 sec: She sits comfortably on the bed, looking toward the camera with a soft relaxed expression. She naturally blinks and breathes, then glances toward the stack of books beside her. 4–7 sec: She reaches toward the stack and gently pulls out one book. As she does, another book suddenly slips from the stack and falls toward the floor. 7–10 sec: She reacts quickly, leaning forward and reaching down to catch the falling book. She manages to grab it just before it hits the floor. 10–12 sec: She sits back up holding the book, looking at it with a slightly surprised expression, then lets out a small amused laugh. 12–15 sec: She looks directly toward the camera, smiles mischievously, and says softly, “That was close.” She places the book safely beside her. Natural human movement, realistic reaction timing, believable hand and finger movements, accurate interaction with the book, subtle hair movement, realistic cardigan fabric, natural facial expressions, cozy afternoon bedroom atmosphere, soft cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, gentle handheld camera feel. The falling book must move naturally with gravity and be caught realistically. No exaggerated acting, no sudden camera movements, no extra people, no face changes, no outfit changes, no distorted hands, no object morphing.

  • Pets & Animals

    Galactic brew gathering

    PROMPT

    Brotherhood & The Galactic Brew Gathering: In violet steam the galaxy sings, A raccoon’s laugh and a cyborg's rings, Alien light and a turtle's vow; Together they sip the eternal now. 🚀

  • VFX & Surreal

    Dragon day violet flame

    PROMPT

    Dragon Day Canticle of the Violet Flame: In dragon-scaled silence the cosmos brews, Purple steam rises where planets muse, Winged shadows dance with alien song, Together they sip where all worlds belong.

Key Features of Grok Imagine Video

What CamArt actually exposes on Generate: prompt or still, 6 or 10 seconds, three T2V frames, and 720p. Issuer 1.5 extras stay in Compare.

  • Text-to-video from a motion prompt

    Describe subject, action, and camera in language. CamArt Generate defaults to Grok Imagine Video text-to-video.

  • Image-to-video from a starting still

    Lock a product, face, or frame as the first image. I2V on CamArt follows that still and turns ratio chips off.

  • 6 or 10 second takes

    The CamArt picker is 6 seconds or 10 seconds. xAI's 1.5 API documents 1 to 15 seconds. This Generate path does not offer 15s.

  • 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 on T2V

    Landscape, vertical, and square are first-class T2V frames. I2V keeps the still's framing instead of stretching it.

  • 720p HD on CamArt

    The connected card lists 480p and 720p. This page markets 720p. It does not claim CamArt 1080p or 4K.

  • Language-directed camera and physics

    Name a dolly, a push, or an orbit plus the action. Issuer 1.5 is sold on fewer warps and more weight. Prompt that motion here.

Write motion and camera in the prompt.

Write the motion, camera, and timing in the prompt. Add a still when you need the first frame to match a product or face.

FAQs

  • Is Grok Imagine Video the same as Grok Imagine for images?

    No. Grok Imagine is the family name for stills and video. This page is the video generator. Grok Imagine images live on a separate CamArt page at /models/grok-imagine.

  • Does Grok Imagine Video generate native audio?

    Issuer Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generates SFX, ambience, and dialogue in the same pass. CamArt Generate does not show a Sound toggle, so this page does not promise a soundtrack on Generate.
