How to generate with Grok Imagine

1

Open the AI Studio

AI Studio lives inside the editor, so what you generate lands in the project you are already working in.

2

Pick Grok Imagine and describe the shot

Choose the model, set length and aspect ratio within what it accepts (4s to 15s, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1), then write the prompt.

3

Cut it into your video

The clip arrives on the timeline. Trim it, stack it with your recordings, caption it, and share the result with a link.

What Grok Imagine is for

Grok Imagine is xAI’s video model, positioned on speed and price rather than maximum fidelity.

It is a good first pass: generate quickly, see whether the idea works at all, then re-run the ones worth keeping on a heavier model.

In the picker it is described as: xAI, fast and cheap.

When to pick Grok Imagine

You are exploring concepts and want answers in seconds rather than minutes.

Budget matters more than the last increment of quality.

Where it runs out: Fidelity sits below the high tier on detailed or fast-moving scenes. No native audio.

How it compares

Every model here runs on the same timeline, so the choice is per clip rather than per project: generate an establishing shot with one and a quick filler with another, then cut them together in the same tab.

Credit costs below are the starting cost for each model’s shortest clip. Longer durations and higher resolutions cost more.

Generating is the easy half

Most generators hand you a clip and stop, which leaves you downloading files and re-uploading them somewhere else to make anything of them.

In REQO the Grok Imagine result lands on a timeline next to your screen recordings and uploads. Trim it, stack it, caption it from the transcript, and share the finished thing with a link, without leaving the tab.

The AI Studio (talking avatars, text-to-video and AI images) and the AI clip tools (background removal, chroma key, face touch-up, noise cancellation, auto cleanup, auto b-roll, auto-zoom) are Pro features. Generation includes 100 credits a month plus top-ups.

FAQ

Grok Imagine: questions

How much does Grok Imagine cost?

From 5 credits per clip at its shortest length. Longer durations and higher resolutions cost more, and the exact figure is shown in the studio before you generate. AI Studio is part of Pro.

How long can a Grok Imagine clip be?

4s to 15s. If you need more than one shot, generate several and cut them together on the timeline.

What aspect ratios does Grok Imagine support?

16:9, 9:16, 1:1. Anything else is a crop afterwards, which the free crop tool handles.

Does Grok Imagine generate audio?

No. It produces picture only, so add music, a voiceover or your own recorded audio on the timeline afterwards.

How long does a generation take?

Usually about 60 seconds. Longer clips and higher resolutions take proportionally longer, and generations keep running if you switch tabs.

Can I edit the generated clip?

That is the point of doing it here. The result lands on a normal timeline: trim it, put it next to a screen recording, add captions, then export or share it.
