How Autotube uses Grok Imagine Video.
xAI's clip model is the value option: the lowest per-second clip price of the clip models on this site. Cheap enough that moving scenes stop being a luxury.
16 credits per second of clip
Why Grok Imagine Video is in the catalog.
The cheapest clip here
The lowest per-second clip price of the clip models on this site, a fraction of the Veo models'. Instead of one hero clip, a video can have a moving scene every time the narration turns a corner.
Every moving scene in one run
It batches across a whole scene list, so a video's moving scenes are generated in one run rather than one at a time.
From a prompt or a still
It generates from a text prompt, or animates a still you supply, so a scene can start from a frame one of the image models produced.
Pairs with the stills
It pairs naturally with Grok Imagine on the stills, which is the cheapest way to give a channel one look across both media.

16 credits per second of clip
Priced per second, at the lowest clip rate on this site — a fraction of the Veo models'. The figure above is one second at the settings Autotube renders clips on. Even so, a second of clip costs more than a still, so the usual mix is stills with clips where motion earns its place.

What Grok Imagine Video will not do.
- Its motion quality is a step below the Veo models — for a cold open or a hero shot, Veo is the better spend.
- Per second of finished video it still costs more than a still image under narration.
- Clips cover individual scenes; the video as a whole is assembled by the renderer from all of them.
