Social Short (Vertical) Video Prompt Prompt for Grok Imagine Video
This is the Grok Imagine Video version of the social short (vertical) video prompt prompt: a vertical, hook-first clip formatted for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. It is formatted the way Grok Imagine Video takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.
The prompt
Push copies this prompt with a reference line naming your image, and downloads the image file — attach it in the model to complete the pair. This page stages the pair for you; it cannot upload into the model itself (sites cannot reach into each other), so the final attach happens there. The image is downscaled to at most 1024px and stored only in this browser, paired with this prompt. If browser storage is full, it is kept for this visit only.
Using this prompt with Grok Imagine Video
Grok Imagine Video (xAI, current 1.5 line) is image-to-video first: it animates a starting frame — your keyframe — with conversational motion prompts, and text-to-video was added on the same line. Describe the motion in plain sentences: what moves, how fast, where the camera goes. It takes image and voice references and generates native audio in the same pass, so name the sound the clip should carry. Few hard parameters exist; duration and format are stated in the request or the app controls.
What this route costs — and how to pay less
Cost structure: bundled — video generation rides on Grok subscription tiers rather than a per-second meter, so for an existing subscriber the marginal cost of a clip is zero. The same prompt is pre-configured in this library for every major model, so you can run it on whichever route fits your budget — comparing the structures before you generate is a free way to save money.
Replace the bracketed placeholders — [SUBJECT], [THE VISUAL HOOK], [PAYOFF] — with your own details before pasting.
