What is Grok – How to Use Grok AI Video Clips to Tell Stories

Grok is the AI assistant/chatbot developed by xAI. As with all other chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc., you can chat with Grok, get it to create images, videos, and, in its latest iteration, video clips with sound, through Grok Imagine. Let’s read more about the Grok app and see how to convert AI video clips into masterful stories with a video editor.

Part 1. What Is Grok App?

Grok app is the mobile app of Grok AI. You can download the app from the App Store for Apple devices or the Google Play Store for Android devices. If you prefer to use a mobile device, you can use the Grok app. Otherwise, you can simply use Grok on a computer by visiting the Grok website.

Part 2. What is Grok Imagine? The Highlight of Grok App

Now that we know all about Grok, let’s take a look at its recently released Grok Imagine 1.0. This one is xAI’s take on video and image generation. It seeks to compete with the leading players right now, such as Sora and Nano Banana.

Grok Imagine now takes a full main tab within the Grok app, and from it, you can access hundreds of templates and just the right tools to create amazing pictures and videos.

2.1. What is Imagine 1.0?

Grok Imagine 1.0 comes with a ton of new features from its previous beta versions. It has all the good stuff that people used to love, plus some other new features, which are summarized below:

• Enhanced Audio and Voices: One of the main focuses of Grok Imagine 1.0 is for videos to have more realistic audio. You will notice this from the way the people or characters speak, and how you can generate background music that fits and syncs naturally with the video it just generated.
• Higher Resolution Outputs: Second, and probably one of the most important updates, is that Grok can now create up to 720p video, which is a standard for many video platforms. You can expect realistic-looking videos without a stark loss in quality.
• 10-second Videos: Previously, you could only generate up to 6-second videos with Grok. While that is enough for most use cases, the 4-second bump will be really helpful, especially if you need more footage.
• Better Prompt Understanding: A gripe with the previous Grok versions is that it can have a hard time understanding prompts, especially when you’re asking for simple edits within the video it generated. Now, xAI has promised a smarter Grok Imagine that can understand you a lot better.

2.2. How to Generate a Video or Image With Grok Imagine?

To see the new features of Grok in action, here’s a quick step-by-step guide. We prepared a list of steps you should follow to generate a video.

Step 1Launch the Grok app and tap Imagine at the top.

Step 2Select an image or type in a prompt to get the engine rolling and create an image to get started. Once that image shows up, select the image.

Step 3Just tap the Enter button (arrow pointing upward) to generate the video. Wait for around a minute, and Grok will show your newly generated video. You can continue prompting it to improve specific parts of the video.

This is the final result:

If you’re interested in generating images instead, just tick the generation mode from "Video" to "Image" as you type in the prompt. You can see the said button under Step 2.

2.3. Example Prompt

You can type anything to get started and then proceed to refine it. If you do not want to waste time figuring this out, you can check this extensive guide on how to create prompts for AI.

Nonetheless, here’s a prompt example, generated using Grok itself:

"Generate a meme featuring a tall young man in Western American attire (plaid shirt, jeans, cowboy boots, and a Stetson hat) strutting confidently down a fashion show runway under dramatic spotlights. At the end of the ramp, he tips his cowboy hat with a charming smile. The meme has bold, white text with a black outline at the top saying, 'WHEN YOU NAIL THE VIBE CHECK,' and at the bottom, 'AND STEAL THE SHOW.' The background is a sleek, modern runway with a cheering crowd faintly visible. The style is vibrant and humorous, perfect for social media sharing."

Here's the result:

Notice that Grok returns a couple of results, unlike, say, ChatGPT, which returns just one.

2.4. Pros & Cons

If you’re interested in subscribing to Grok for your video-generating needs, it’s best to try it out. It has a 7-day free trial. But if you need more guidance, here are some pros and cons that we think you should look out for:

Part 3. What is Grok Imagine’s Spicy Mode?

Spicy Mode, as the name might suggest, is a mode/setting in Grok Imagine image generation model that allows users to create life-like, not-safe-for-work images and videos. It allows total freedom over what you want to create, regardless of its nature. Used wisely, this is huge and often time-saving.

Limitations

• Cannot upload an image and use Grok Imagine Spicy Mode to generate NSFW content using that image as base.
• Available on mobile apps only.

Ethical Considerations

Due to the nature of content that is allowed to be generated, Grok has often come under flak and moral and ethical concerns have been raised. We believe that as technology, Grok pushes boundaries and frontiers of what is possible, and in the end, everyone must use technology at their own discretion.

Part 4. Using Filmora to Turn Grok AI Video Clips to Video Stories

Imagine creating a whole fashion show with AI! However, as always, moral and ethical boundaries must never be breached – that is a hard line that is not to be crossed.
