What Is Grok Video Generation?
Grok Video is xAI's AI-powered video generation feature built into Grok Imagine. It lets you convert text prompts or static images into short AI-generated video clips, typically up to 10 seconds long. Like image generation, video access is gated by your X subscription tier — standard X Premium does not include video generation. You need SuperGrok ($30/month) to unlock it. Video outputs consume significantly more compute than images, so they draw down your daily generation quota faster. Resolution is capped at 720p, and Spicy Mode is not available for video content on the Grok platform.
Grok Video Generation Credit Costs Explained
Grok doesn't publish exact credit numbers — it operates on a daily quota model that varies by server load and account type. Based on community reports and xAI's stated relative costs, a 5-second video consumes the equivalent of roughly 10× a single image generation. At SuperGrok's $30/month rate and a quota of ~100 image-equivalents per day, you can generate around 10 short videos per day before hitting your limit. Unused video quota does not carry forward. X Imagine AI uses transparent per-credit pricing: 50 credits for a 5s clip, 100 for 10s, 150 for 15s — always the same, no guesswork.
Generate the Same Videos for Less With X Imagine AI
X Imagine AI's Professional Pack at $29 gives you 700 credits — enough for 14 × 5-second videos, or 7 × 10-second videos. There's no monthly subscription, no daily reset, and credits stay valid for 2 months. Spicy Mode video is included. Compare that to SuperGrok at $30/month: you get a daily video quota that resets whether you create or not, no Spicy Mode for video, and a hard cap on daily output. For anyone creating more than a handful of videos per week, the credit model is both cheaper and more predictable. See /pricing for the complete credit-to-video breakdown.
