Veo 3.1
Prepare a video with text or first and last frames. Output options depend on the selected Veo tier. Describe one action and a camera direction for a focused video brief.
Video Generator
Plan the shot before generating
Start with the subject and the movement that matters most. Keep reference images consistent with your intended framing. Review the selected duration, resolution and credit quote before each video submission.
Can I start with welcome credits?
Use the 3-credit welcome offer for one GPT Image 2 image at 1K, then decide whether to turn that frame into a video. Video generation needs sufficient paid credits. Your plan, balance and private history belong to Grok Video.

Prepare the input
Start with a scene brief. For editing or animation, add the matching reference inputs requested by the generator.
What to compare
Play the clip and inspect the beginning, middle and end. Compare the subject, motion, camera path and sound; a thumbnail cannot establish temporal consistency.

What can you create with Veo 3.1?
Create a short video from a prompt or an opening image, with an optional final frame. On Grok Video, start with an opening shot and a single camera movement. Keep your source material and intended result together in the generator above.
Prepare your inputs
Choose text-to-video or image-to-video. Frame inputs belong to the same shot; reference videos and audio uploads are not offered in this workflow.
Plan one action per short clip. State the camera move and endpoint, then check that both frames describe compatible motion.
From brief to result
- Select the mode and describe your intended result in the generator on this page.
- Add references you own or have permission to use, then choose output settings.
- Review the exact credit quote before submitting. Availability and balance checks happen before a generation request.
- When a task completes, review the output before downloading it or starting another variation. A pending task is not a completed result.
Limits to check before generating
Choose a supported 4, 6, or 8 second length and output resolution. The selected tier and resolution determine the displayed quote.
Do not submit confidential material without the necessary permission. An accepted upload does not guarantee provider approval or a usable output. If a request fails, keep the task record and check its credit refund rather than repeatedly submitting the same input.
Credits and availability
Check the quote on this website before submitting. Video generation is not covered by the 3-credit registration image gift.
A model marked unavailable cannot start a paid task. It is not a reason to buy credits until generation has been enabled. Plans, balances, and private history apply to Grok Video.
Can I change models without starting over?
Keep the brief, then review the new model's settings. Different models accept different references and durations, so check the required inputs and quote again before submitting.
