Grok Video
Generated on PixelDojo with Grok Video. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Grok Video costs a flat 2 credits per second of output, whatever resolution or aspect ratio you choose, across a 1 to 15 second range. Our cheapest possible run, image-to-video at 480p for 1 second, charged 2 credits and returned in about 268 seconds on August 26, 2026. Here is the full rate structure, what the two model backbones offer, and how it stacks up against editing an existing clip instead.

Switch models without switching tools. Each one runs in the same PixelDojo studio.
What you can do
2 credits a second, no resolution surcharge
480p and 720p cost the same. A 5 second default clip is 10 credits regardless of which resolution you pick.
1 to 15 second range
The longest single-clip range in the catalog's Grok tools. Our test used the 1 second floor to keep the run cheap.
Two backbones: standard and 1.5
Standard covers text-to-video or image-to-video with no audio. The 1.5 backbone is image-to-video only, and adds natively synchronized audio the standard backbone does not produce.
Seven aspect ratios
16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 9:16, 3:4, and 2:3. We used 16:9 for our earbuds test.
What our clip measured
848 by 480 pixels, 24 frames a second, about 1.04 seconds of actual runtime against the 1 second we requested, roughly 0.17 megabytes. We judged it by these render facts, not by grading the footage.
2 credits a second, flat, 1 to 15 seconds. Our cheapest run: 1 second, 2 credits, about 268 seconds.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Grok Video
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
One flat rate, easy to plan against
2 credits a second whether you generate at 480p or 720p, text-to-video or image-to-video.
2 credits for our cheapest test, measured
1 second, 480p, standard backbone. Timed on August 26, 2026 from request to finished file.
Native audio available on image-to-video
Switch to the 1.5 backbone and an image-to-video clip gets synchronized audio built in, at the same 2 credit per second rate.
How It Works
How we ran the 2 credit clip:
Set duration to the 1 second floor
The flat 2 credit per second rate means the shortest clip is also the cheapest.
Pass an image_url and switch mode to image-to-video
We fed it a product still and set mode to image-to-video with the standard backbone.
Generate in the app or over the API
From the tool page, or POST to /api/v1/models/xai-video/run. Ours charged 2 credits and returned in about 268 seconds.

Does Grok Video have native audio?

What is the longest clip I can generate?
15 seconds, which is 30 credits at the flat 2 credit per second rate.
How does Grok Video compare with Grok Video Edit?
Grok Video generates a fresh clip from a prompt or a starting image at 2 credits a second. Grok Video Edit instead reworks a video you already have and costs more, a flat 15 credits per edit rather than a per-second rate.
How do I call Grok Video from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/xai-video/run with your API key, a prompt, mode set to text-to-video or image-to-video, and duration. Same key as every other model in the catalog.
