Grok Imagine Video (Text-to-Video)
[Core Function] Grok Imagine Video is xAI’s text-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at generating short, dynamic video clips directly from a text prompt, with controllable duration, aspect ratio, and resolution. [Best For] Highly recommended for: short social clips, animated concepts, and dynamic scene generation from a description. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model when you have a starting image or reference subjects, or when you need resolutions above 720p or clips longer than 15 seconds; it is limited to 480p/720p and 15s. [Routing] Use this model when the user wants a video from text only. If a starting image is provided, route to the Image-to-Video model; for reference-driven character video, use Reference-to-Video.
