Grok Video Generation Guide

TL;DR

Grok video generation on Flixly means running text or image prompts through Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.0 to produce 4-8 second MP4 clips. Choose the model on the Text to Video page, set duration and resolution, then generate. Credit cost starts at 12 per 5-second clip.

What Grok video generation means on Flixly

Grok video generation refers to turning text or image prompts into short clips using frontier models inside the Flixly dashboard. It does not include real-time streaming or live avatar chat.

How the pipeline runs under the hood

Flixly routes each request to one of several 2026 models. Text prompts first pass through a diffusion prior that extracts motion tokens, then feed into the selected video model. Seedance 2.0 handles 5-second 720p clips at 24 fps. Veo 3.1 extends to 8 seconds with native 1080p output. Kling 3.0 adds camera control parameters such as pan speed in degrees per second.

Users select the model at generation time. Credit cost is listed on the tool page: 12 credits for a 5-second Seedance clip, 18 credits for Veo 3.1 at 1080p.

Concrete inputs and outputs

A typical text-to-video job takes a 120-character prompt plus optional negative prompt. Output is an MP4 file, 1280x720, 24 fps, H.264, 8-12 MB for a 5-second clip. Image-to-video accepts a single PNG or JPG up to 2048 pixels on the long edge and produces a 4-second motion sequence.

Reference-to-video accepts up to four reference frames plus a motion strength slider from 0.2 to 1.0. Lip sync accepts an MP3 or WAV file 3-30 seconds long and matches mouth shapes to the supplied audio.

Real workflows that use these tools

Creators start with Text to Video to block out a 5-second scene. They then move the clip into Image to Video for follow-up shots using the last frame as reference. For dialogue scenes they route the same clip through Lip Sync Video with a 16 kHz voice track.

Product teams generate 15-second product demos by chaining Motion Poster for static-to-moving transitions and Shorts Generator for vertical 9:16 crops. Each step logs the model name and seed so teams can reproduce results.

Step-by-step first video

  1. Go to the dashboard and open the Text to Video tool.
  2. Paste a prompt under 200 characters that names subject, action, and camera move.
  3. Choose Veo 3.1 from the model dropdown.
  4. Set duration to 5 seconds and resolution to 720p.
  5. Add a negative prompt listing unwanted artifacts such as blur or text.
  6. Enter 4 as the seed for reproducibility.
  7. Click generate and wait for the 12-credit deduction.
  8. Download the MP4 and review frame by frame before the next iteration.

Model comparison table

Model Max duration Native resolution Camera control Credit cost (5 s) \ Best for
Seedance 2.0 5 s 720p Basic 12 Quick storyboards
Veo 3.1 8 s 1080p Advanced 18 Cinematic shots
Kling 3.0 6 s 1080p Full 15 Dynamic camera moves
Wan 2.7 4 s 720p None 10 Fast iteration

Where to start

Open the Text to Video page, pick Veo 3.1, and run your first 5-second prompt. That single generation teaches the input fields and credit flow faster than any written description.

FAQ

What prompt length works best with Veo 3.1? Veo 3.1 accepts 80-180 characters. Longer prompts are truncated at the backend, shorter ones lack motion detail.

How many seconds can I generate in one job with Kling 3.0? Kling 3.0 caps at 6 seconds per job. Users chain multiple generations for longer sequences.

Can I upload my own audio for lip sync? Yes. The Lip Sync tool accepts 16 kHz mono WAV files between 3 and 30 seconds.

Does Flixly store generation seeds? Every job page shows the seed value used. You can copy it to reproduce identical motion.

What file format does the platform export? All video tools export H.264 MP4 at the chosen resolution and frame rate.
