Quick fixes
Fix Common Video Problems
Most weak results come from a vague description. These changes fix the usual problems.
| Problem | What to change | Result |
|---|---|---|
| The video barely moves. | Describe the action and the camera move, for example "turns toward the camera, slow push-in". | Clear, visible motion instead of a near-still frame. |
| The wrong part of the image moves. | Name one subject and one main action, and keep the rest of the scene still. | Steadier clips with fewer warped details. |
| The result looks flat. | Add lighting and mood, choose the aspect ratio you will post in, or press Optimize Prompt. | A clip that is ready for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. |
Before you generate more
What to Check Before You Generate More
A quick checklist for judging a draft before you spend more credits.
| Factor | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | The credit cost shown before each generation: 20 per image, 30 for a 4-second 480p clip. | You know what a test costs before you run it. |
| Length and resolution | 6–30 seconds on Grok Imagine and 1–15 seconds on Grok Imagine 1.5, both at 480p or 720p. | Start short and at 480p, then go longer once the motion works. |
| Motion | Does the subject do the action you described, and does the camera move as asked? | Motion is where image-to-video results differ most. |
| Mode | Normal, Fun, or Spicy on the Grok Imagine video model. | The mode changes the tone and boldness of the clip. |
| Rights | Logos, real people, and known characters in the result. | You are responsible for rights before you publish. |
