## What 5 credits get you

The price depends on the model and settings. A few reference points:

<PriceTable
  caption="Examples of low-cost generations"
  rows={[
    { name: 'Grok Imagine Video 1.5 — 5 s video, 480p', credits: 5, note: 'default video model' },
    { name: 'Grok Imagine Video 1.5 — 5 s video, 720p', credits: 9 },
    { name: 'Z-Image — image', credits: 1 },
    { name: 'Nano Banana 2 — image, 1K', credits: 4 },
  ]}
/>

See the exact price of any model in the [model catalog](/en/models) (the "from N credits" label) and on the run button.

## Your first image

<Steps>
<Step>
### Open Image Studio

Go to [Image Studio](/en/create-image). The Text to image tab opens by default, with Nano Banana 2 selected.
</Step>

<Step>
### Describe the picture

Write what should be in the frame: subject, setting, lighting, style. For example: "A cup of coffee on a wooden table by the window, morning light, soft shadows, photorealistic". The Enhance button in the description box can add details for you.
</Step>

<Step>
### Pick a format

Set the aspect ratio if the model supports it: 1:1 for a feed, 9:16 for stories, 16:9 for a cover. You can pick another model in the model picker.
</Step>

<Step>
### Run it

Check the price on the Create image button and click it. The image appears on the studio canvas.
</Step>
</Steps>

## Your first video

<Steps>
<Step>
### Open Video Studio

Go to [Video Studio](/en/create-video). The default model is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 — a 5-second 480p clip costs 5 credits, so it fits within your welcome credits.
</Step>

<Step>
### Text or photo

The Text to video tab generates a clip from a description. The Image to video tab animates an uploaded picture. You don't need to upload the image you just made: open it in My works, click Use and choose Image to video.
</Step>

<Step>
### Describe the motion

For video, describe what happens: "Steam rises from the cup, the camera slowly pushes in". Duration, quality, aspect ratio and sound are set in the form.
</Step>

<Step>
### Run it and wait

Click Generate. A clip is usually ready in 1–3 minutes. The status is shown in the My tasks panel: Queued, In progress, Ready. You can close the page; the result will be saved.
</Step>
</Steps>

## Where to find the result

- Right after generation — on the studio canvas and in the My tasks panel.
- All results are kept in [My works](/en/my-works) and in the My works tab of the [Trends](/en/trends) page, where you can download them, sort them into folders or send them to a studio with the Use button. See [My works](/en/docs/product/my-works).

## If something goes wrong

| Message | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| The generation failed | The credits are returned automatically. Change the description or the model and try again |
| The request was rejected by moderation | No credits are charged. Rephrase the request — see [Content rules](/en/docs/product/rules) |
| Not enough credits for this run | Pick a cheaper model, shorten the duration or lower the resolution, or choose a [plan](/en/tariffs) |
