> Grok Imagine v1.0 renders motion at 17 seconds per clip but warps on-frame text. Here is why it fails and how to get clean glyphs without a post pass.
Grok Imagine caps a single generation at 15 seconds. Extend from Frame, shipped March 2026, lets you take the last frame of one clip and feed it as the start frame of the next. Here is how it works, what drifts, and what it costs.
A plain reading of the Grok Imagine price sheet: 480p at $0.05/s, 720p at $0.07/s, edit-video at $0.06 to $0.08/s, images at $0.02 per output. With per-minute math for social runs.
v0.9 proved xAI could ship sub-15s video. v1.0 cut wall-clock time to roughly 17 seconds for a finished 720p clip and pushed duration to 10 seconds with synced audio. Here is what actually changed.
Grok Imagine ships clips in 17 seconds at 720p. Veo 3.1 takes longer but lands at 1080p with a different audio profile. Both are strong. The pick depends on whether iteration speed or finish quality is the tighter constraint.
