How to use
- Upload an image and enter a prompt: Upload an image or start from a blank prompt field, describing the subject, action, mood, and visual style you want. For Grok Imagine videos, focus on describing what should move next: subject motion, camera movement, lighting changes, and atmosphere.
- Choose duration, quality, and settings: Before spending credits, choose the correct generation mode, resolution, duration, aspect ratio, and other output settings. Use draft settings to explore, then move to higher-quality output once the enhanced prompt direction is clear.
- Generate and download: Generate results, review the output, and refine the prompt if the first draft needs more control. Download the final image or video when the quality, motion, and format are ready to publish.
Smart prompting and workflow features
- Smart Prompt Director: Can rewrite short ideas into prompts suitable for Grok Imagine AI, supplementing missing camera angles, camera movement, motion intensity, lighting, mood, audio cues, and format settings. It also warns when a prompt over-repeats an image, is overcrowded, or lacks the motion details needed for video.
- Motion language and camera presets: Motion presets such as slow push-in, pull-out, product rotation, orbit shot, handheld tracking, drone reveal, macro detail, static tripod, or cinematic pan can be selected.
- Scene-based creation modes: Modes such as product ad, social video, portrait animation, anime scene, cyberpunk atmosphere, game concept, storyboard, e-commerce visual, or brand campaign are provided. Each mode includes prompt structure, aspect ratio suggestions, motion ideas, and output prompts.
- Draft first, then HD export: It is recommended to output a draft first, test multiple prompts, compare results, and then upgrade or export the strongest version to reduce waste.
