API README

Grok Imagine Video Edit

Grok Imagine Video Edit is a specialized SandBase endpoint built to transform an existing video according to a written edit brief. It is most useful when teams need semantic video revision that preserves temporal structure while changing selected content, with the route’s inputs defining a repeatable production contract instead of leaving critical delivery choices to an ad-hoc manual workflow.

Use this exact route when its input mode matches the creative asset already in hand: describe the visual or spoken result clearly, set only the controls that support the intended delivery, and keep the subject, action, environment, camera or performance direction internally consistent. The result is returned asynchronously as a downloadable media URL suitable for review, automation, or downstream finishing.

Highlights

  • Semantic video revision. State the desired change in text to transform an existing clip while retaining useful timing and motion from the source.
  • Scene-level restyling. Change appearance, atmosphere, materials, or visual treatment across moving frames rather than correcting each frame manually.
  • Source timing preservation. The route accepts a source clip, normalizes it for processing, and applies the requested edit across its usable sequence.
  • Resolution choice. Auto, 480p, and 720p modes let teams balance turnaround against the detail needed for the edited result.

Pricing

The configured formula bills $0.0600 per processed second at Auto/480p and $0.0800 per processed second at 720p. The source is normalized and truncated to at most eight seconds; the model card base price is $0.3600.

When to Use

ScenarioWhy this route fits
Concept developmentChoose Grok Imagine Video Edit when its edit workflow matches the starting material and you need several clearly directed variations.
Production iterationUse explicit duration, resolution, ratio, seed, or quality controls to compare versions without changing the core creative brief.
Channel adaptationGenerate directly in the landscape, square, portrait, or vertical format required by the destination whenever that control is available.
Automated pipelinesIntegrate the asynchronous media URL into review queues, asset libraries, publishing tools, or a later finishing stage.
Alternative routePick a related text-, image-, reference-, edit-, or turbo route when the available source media or required degree of control is different.

Prompt Guide

Lead with the main subject or source asset, then describe the intended action or transformation, environment, composition, camera or vocal delivery, lighting and mood. Keep instructions concrete and compatible; use the route’s explicit fields for duration, resolution, ratio, quality, voice, or reproducibility instead of burying those settings in prose.
