Edit existing video with Grok: apply prompt-driven changes to style, content, or composition while keeping motion and timing coherent.
This model gets stronger as the shot becomes more explicit. Give it a subject, a move, a frame, and a mood so the output feels directed instead of guessed.
Best results start with a directed prompt or a strong first frame.
Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video on Pixio lets you edit existing video with xAI Grok: apply prompt-driven changes to style, content, or composition while keeping motion and timing coherent. Use it when you have footage and want to restyle it, change elements, or adjust the look without re-generating from a still. For new video from text or image, use Grok Imagine instead.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Edit Video | Existing video + prompt | Restyle, content edit, composition; motion preserved |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Input | One video file | Check Pixio for format and duration limits |
| Prompt | Style, content, or composition change | One clear direction per run |
| Credits | Per run or per second | Check model card in Pixio |
Credits depend on input duration or per run; check the model card in Pixio for current rates.
Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video doesn’t generate from a still—it takes your clip and changes how it looks or what’s in it from a prompt. Motion and timing stay; only style or content change. Use it for restyles, object edits, or composition tweaks after you have a base clip (from Grok Imagine or any source).
One clear edit per prompt.
| Scenario | Best choice |

| Restyle (Runway) | Gen-4 Aleph |
| Generate from image | Gen-4, Seedance, Kling |
Start with a strong first frame when consistency matters more than surprise.
Keep each prompt focused on one primary motion direction.
Use shorter runs for iteration, then scale up for finals.
For narratives, structure the idea as Shot 1 / Shot 2 / Shot 3 instead of one flat blob.
A strong video prompt gives the scene a subject, a move, camera behavior, and a mood to hold onto.
Start from language and push for camera intent, pacing, atmosphere, and shot design in one move.
Start from a frame or reference when consistency matters more than improvisation.
Continue or refine the clip without throwing away the visual language you already established.
Grok Imagine Video - Edit Video works well when the prompt needs motion, framing, and visual direction, not just subject matter.
Use it for sequences that need a strong first frame, continuity, or a clearly controlled camera idea.
Treat each generation like a shot brief instead of a loose caption to get more cinematic outputs.
Start with either a directed text brief or a strong frame, depending on how locked the look already is.
Write the motion like a director: subject, action, camera behavior, environment, lighting, and tone.
Iterate fast on shorter runs, then move to stronger finals once the rhythm feels right.
Use it to build a stronger first frame, then hand that frame to the video model for motion and continuity.
Pair it with frame extraction, merge tools, or image prep so the motion workflow stays clean end to end.
