Prompt Tips

How to get the best results with Grok Video

Prompt Formula

Subject+Action+Style+Sound Environment

Good Examples

A woman in a white dress waltzing in a ballroom with crystal chandeliers, soft golden light, classical orchestral music
A cat sitting on a windowsill watching the rain, raindrops tapping on glass, distant thunder rumbling, cozy atmosphere
A street musician playing guitar in a Parisian alley at evening, warm lantern light, melodic acoustic music and city sounds

Avoid

Beautiful video with music — too abstract, no specific subject or action
Make me a cool clip — no scene description, style, or sound environment
Text on screen with animation — the model does not generate readable text in videos

Best Practices

Describe the sound environment in your prompt for better audio synchronization

Use Fun mode for dynamic scenes, Normal for calm and professional ones

For I2V, choose images with a clear subject and enough space for movement

Specify particular music genres and sound types for accurate results

What is Grok Video?

Grok Video is a video generation model by xAI, powered by the Aurora Engine. Its key feature is native synchronized audio generation: music, sound effects, dialogue, and singing are created together with the video. It supports both text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) generation.

What generation modes are available?

Three modes are available: Normal — a balanced professional mode for business content; Fun — a dynamic creative mode with vibrant variations for social media; Spicy — an artistic freedom mode with bold visual choices (available for T2V only).

How does synchronized audio work?

The model analyzes the scene context and generates matching audio simultaneously with the video. This includes background music, environmental sound effects, speech with lip-sync, and singing. No separate audio editing is required.

What resolutions are supported?

Grok Video supports 480p and 720p resolutions. Five aspect ratios are available: 1:1 (square), 2:3 and 3:2 (portrait/landscape), 9:16 (vertical for Stories/Reels), and 16:9 (horizontal for YouTube).

How much does video generation cost?

Cost depends on duration: a 6-second video costs 10 credits and a 10-second video costs 15 credits. The same pricing applies to text-to-video and image-to-video. The current cost is shown before generation.

How do I use Grok image-to-video?

Upload a clear source image, describe the subject, camera and background motion, and add the sound you want. Grok Video will animate the frame and generate synchronized audio. Spicy mode is not available for image-to-video.

What is the maximum video duration?

Grok Video supports video generation of 6 or 10 seconds. The average generation time is ~17 seconds thanks to the Aurora Engine, making it one of the fastest on the market.
