What is the Grok AI Video Generator?
Grok Imagine Video is xAI's video model for generating clips from a text prompt or animating a still image with motion instructions. xAI's official Imagine API also covers reference-led generation, video editing, and video extension; this Epochal page currently provides Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video in one model workspace.

Best For
Grok Imagine Video supports several official video modes. On Epochal, the practical choice is between generating a short clip from a written scene and animating one existing image, with a compact set of duration and resolution controls for controlled comparisons.
01
Short video concepts generated from a written scene
02
Still-image animation anchored by one starting frame
03
Controlled comparisons across prompt, duration, resolution, and text-to-video aspect ratio
Key Capabilities
Text & Image to Video
Grok Imagine
01
Text-to-Video from a Written Scene
Start with a prompt that describes the subject, action, camera behavior, and atmosphere. xAI documents text-to-video as a standard Grok Imagine Video mode, and the current Epochal workflow adds output controls for short concept clips.
02
Image-to-Video from a Starting Frame
Upload one still image and describe how it should move. The image becomes the starting frame, which makes this workflow useful when composition, subject appearance, or product framing should begin from an existing visual.
03
Duration and Resolution Choices
Both current Epochal workflows support clips lasting 6 or 10 seconds at 480p or 720p. Text-to-Video also exposes 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 output; Image-to-Video uses the source image as the visual and framing starting point.
04
A Broader Official Video Workflow Family
xAI documents Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, video editing, and extension as separate Grok Imagine Video workflows. Epochal currently exposes the first two, so the active tab should match whether you are starting from words or a still image.
05
The current Epochal controls are limited to 6 or 10 seconds and 480p or 720p; the broader duration, resolution, editing, reference, and extension options documented by xAI are not all exposed on this page.
06
Image-to-Video does not expose a separate aspect-ratio selector here, so crop the source image for the intended destination before generating.

Example Workflows
Grok Imagine Video supports several official video modes. On Epochal, the practical choice is between generating a short clip from a written scene and animating one existing image, with a compact set of duration and resolution controls for controlled comparisons.
- 01
Prompt-led concept clip
Turn a written scene into a short landscape, square, or vertical video to test the subject, camera direction, and pacing before further production.
- 02
Product photo animation
Use a prepared product image as the first frame, then request a restrained camera move, environmental motion, or a short reveal without rebuilding the starting composition from text.
- 03
Portrait or artwork motion test
Animate a portrait, illustration, or concept frame with a focused motion prompt while using the original image to anchor appearance and composition.
- 04
Short social format comparison
Use Text-to-Video to compare landscape, square, and vertical framing, or prepare separate source crops before running Image-to-Video for different destinations.

FAQ
01Can Grok generate videos from text and images?
Yes. Text-to-Video starts from a written scene, while Image-to-Video requires one source image plus a motion prompt. Both workflows are available as tabs on the same Grok Imagine model page.
02Does Grok Imagine generate images or video?
Grok Imagine on Epochal is a video model. It produces short clips through Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video, but it does not create still images. To generate or edit images, use the Text to Image workspace.
03When should I use Grok Text-to-Video instead of Image-to-Video?
Use Text-to-Video when the scene can be defined entirely in words and you want to choose 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16 output. Use Image-to-Video when an existing image should define the opening subject and composition.
04Which Grok Imagine video settings are currently available?
Both workflows support clips lasting 6 or 10 seconds at 480p or 720p. Text-to-Video also supports 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 aspect ratios. Image-to-Video requires one source image and does not expose a separate aspect-ratio control on this page.
05What is the Grok Imagine video length limit?
On Epochal, Grok Imagine clips run for 6 or 10 seconds at 480p or 720p. Longer durations are not exposed on this page.
06Can Grok Imagine edit or extend an existing video here?
xAI documents video editing and extension as Grok Imagine Video workflows, but this Epochal page currently exposes Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video only. Uploading a still image is supported; uploading an existing video for editing is not part of these two tabs.
07Does Grok Imagine have a spicy mode or allow uncensored content?
No. Epochal applies platform and provider safety policy, so there is no spicy, uncensored, or NSFW mode. If a result says it was moderated, the request was blocked by safety policy and was not generated.
08Is there a Grok Imagine API?
xAI offers the official Imagine API through its developer documentation. On Epochal you can generate Grok Imagine videos without writing code, with the credit cost shown before generation.
09How many credits does a Grok Imagine video use?
Current Text-to-Video configurations range from 90 to 210 credits. Image-to-Video ranges from 91 to 211 credits. The exact amount is shown before generation and depends on duration and resolution.
