Model ID: xai-grok-imagine-video-edit-video

Grok Imagine - Video Edit is a video generation model designed for editing existing videos.
It excels in prompt-driven video modifications like object swapping, scene restyling, and character animation, offering native synchronized audio generation (including sound effects, dialogue, and music) alongside visuals at 720p resolution and 24fps, with fast processing times such as 45 seconds for an 8-second clip.

Some other noteworthy capabilities of Grok Imagine - Video Edit include image-to-video generation from static images, support for multiple aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9, 9:16), and outputs up to 15 seconds in duration (with input videos resized to 854x480 and truncated to 8 seconds for editing).

Example request

Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

Sync

This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer Async or Async with SSE for anything beyond quick experimentation.

See the video generation reference for more details.
