Grok Imagine Video Extend is xAI's video-to-video AI model. Transform, enhance, and edit video content using text prompts - from style changes to object manipulation and scene modification.

Input
Text description of what should happen next in the video.
URL of the source video to extend. Must be MP4 format (H.264, H.265, or AV1 codec), 2-15 seconds long.
210
Length of the extension in seconds. Range: 2 to 10.

API README

Grok Imagine Video Extend

Grok Imagine Video Extend is a specialized SandBase endpoint built to continue an existing clip beyond its current endpoint. It is most useful when teams need prompt-directed continuation that carries motion and scene logic into a new segment, 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

  • Continuation beyond the cut. Generate what happens after an existing clip ends, using the source endpoint as the visual and temporal handoff.
  • Prompt-directed next action. Describe the following movement, camera behavior, or story beat so the extension has a specific purpose rather than generic motion.
  • Codec-friendly source handling. The route accepts MP4 sources encoded with H.264, H.265, or AV1 across the documented 2–15 second input window.
  • Adjustable added length. Request 2–10 seconds of new footage to bridge a transition, hold a scene, or complete an interrupted action.

Pricing

Pricing scales with extension duration. The configured formula uses $0.0600 per second at its standard tier and $0.0800 per second when the resolved tier is 720p.

When to Use

ScenarioWhy this route fits
Concept developmentChoose Grok Imagine Video Extend when its extend 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.
