Grok Imagine video in AI Media Studio
Grok Imagine is xAI's video generation model. AI Media Studio offers Grok Imagine Video and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 for text-to-video and image-to-video, next to Veo, Kling and Seedance. Image generation inside the Grok app is a separate xAI product.
Plans from $19/month. A paid plan is required to generate images and videos. Paid plans include a commercial license, and the credit cost is shown before you generate.
AI-generated example: Grok Imagine Video 1.5 image-to-video (6 s, 720p) from the same Nano Banana Pro still as our other photo-to-video samples, prompted as a low tracking shot, made through the same endpoint the studio offers. Illustrative, not customer work.
PromptLow tracking shot alongside the car: the red convertible drives forward along the coastal cliff road, the camera glides beside it at wheel height, the woman raises one arm into the wind and her silk scarf streams behind her, the sea glitters below in golden sunset light. The car always drives forward, front first, never reversing. Natural motion, realistic physics.
