Grok Imagine Video — xAI's AI Video Generation with Native Audio
xAI's AI video generation model powered by the Aurora engine. Generate 6-second cinematic videos with synchronized audio directly from text prompts or images — 24 FPS output with physics-accurate motion and real-world audio synchronization.

xAI's Aurora-Powered Video Generation Model
Grok Imagine Video is xAI's dedicated AI video generation model, launched in 2025 and updated to version 1.0 in February 2026. Built on xAI's proprietary Aurora engine, it generates 6-second videos at 24 FPS with natively synchronized audio from text prompts or static images. The model represents xAI's entry into multimodal video generation, combining Grok's language understanding with Aurora's physics simulation and audio synthesis capabilities.
Aurora Engine — Cinema-Grade Physics
Built on xAI's proprietary Aurora engine, Grok Imagine Video delivers cinema-grade physics simulation. Object interactions, gravity, momentum, fluid dynamics, and environmental effects are modeled with real-world accuracy, producing videos that feel physically grounded and visually convincing.
Native Audio Synchronization
Audio is generated simultaneously with video — not added in post. Dialogue, ambient sounds, sound effects, and background music are created in perfect synchronization with on-screen action, making Grok Imagine Video one of the few models with true audio-video co-generation.
24 FPS Cinematic Output
Grok Imagine Video generates at 24 FPS — the standard cinematic frame rate — delivering smooth, film-like motion quality. This is a 50% improvement over earlier Aurora iterations and ensures professional-grade temporal consistency across the full 6-second clip.
Text and Image Input
Generate videos from detailed text prompts or animate static images. Grok's advanced language model interprets complex prompts with high fidelity, while image-to-video mode preserves the visual identity of the source image throughout the generated clip.
Why Grok Imagine Video Stands Out
Grok Imagine Video combines xAI's language intelligence with the Aurora engine's physics and audio capabilities to deliver a uniquely integrated AI video generation experience.
Full Feature Set of Grok Imagine Video
xAI's comprehensive AI video generation toolkit — combining Aurora engine physics, native audio, and Grok's language intelligence.
Text-to-Video Generation
Transform text prompts into 6-second cinematic videos. Grok's language model interprets complex scene descriptions, camera directions, visual styles, and narrative instructions with high accuracy.
Image-to-Video Animation
Animate static images with natural, physically grounded motion. Grok Imagine Video preserves the visual identity of the source image while adding fluid, context-aware movement throughout the clip.
Native Synchronized Audio
Audio is co-generated with video in a single pass. Ambient sounds, sound effects, background music, and dialogue are all synchronized to on-screen action without separate audio post-production.
24 FPS Cinematic Output
Professional-grade 24 FPS frame rate delivers smooth, film-quality motion. Consistent temporal coherence across all 6 seconds ensures the output looks polished and production-ready.
Aurora Physics Engine
Cinema-grade physics simulation: gravity, momentum, collisions, fluid dynamics, cloth, and environmental effects all behave according to real-world physical laws for visually convincing results.
Diverse Creative Styles
Grok Imagine Video supports a wide range of visual styles through intelligent prompt understanding — from photorealistic to cinematic, stylized, animated, and abstract — adapting to the creative direction specified in the prompt.
Camera Movement Control
Specify camera behaviors including pan, tilt, zoom, tracking shots, and cinematic movements directly in your text prompt. Aurora interprets directorial language with precision.
Landscape & Portrait Output
Generate videos in multiple aspect ratios to suit different platforms — widescreen for cinematic content, portrait for social media stories, and square for feed posts.
