Grok Imagine video on KIE outputs MP4 with a synchronized audio track—dialogue in your prompt can be spoken.
GenVid uses `grok-imagine/text-to-video` and `grok-imagine/image-to-video` depending on Studio mode.
Duration typically spans roughly 6–30 seconds with 480p–1080p resolution tiers on KIE.
What it is
Grok Imagine is available on GenVid through the KIE unified jobs API (`POST /api/v1/jobs/createTask`). GenVid handles authentication, credit billing, and delivery—you work in Studio instead of wiring raw API calls.
Official parameter lists and model strings are documented on KIE; we mirror the same model ids in our catalog so quotes match production behavior.
