Grok

Every single grok imagine generated videos and their uploaded images are publicly accessible for anyone with a link. There is no option for the user to turn link sharing off and there is no option for the user to delete the entry as well.

such a wierd choice to make it this way i guess...

How’s the review? I heard it’s better than sora and Gemini ?

Any way to test it before getting supergrok subscription?

I’ve been testing Grok Imagine for the past few days and wrote up a beginner-friendly guide, but I wanted to share the core takeaways here so you don’t need to click anything to get value.

What it does well

• Fast feedback loop: images usually return in seconds, which makes prompt iteration less painful.

• Short videos with audio: capped at 6 seconds right now, good enough for quick concept previews and social snippets.

• Solid for edits: uploading a photo and using text to tweak background/elements works better than I expected for simple changes.

Prompt tips that saved me time

• Add action + lighting + style: “a rainy alley at night, neon reflections, handheld film look” outperforms “cyberpunk alley.”

• Use constraints: specify framing (“medium shot”), era (“1970s color film”), lens cues (“35mm”), or texture (“matte finish”) to avoid generic output.

• Iterate in small steps: one change per retry (lighting first, then subject pose, then background), rather than rewriting the whole prompt.

Where it stumbles

• Motion artifacts: human movement and fine hand details can get weird in videos—plan around tight close-ups on faces/hands.

• Overly busy scenes: dense crowds or complex action in one frame often lose coherence; simpler compositions look cleaner.

• Style drift: when stacking too many style cues, the model can flatten to something safer—dial back and reintroduce cues gradually.

Content guardrails

• There is a “spicy” mode, but the boundaries are strict—expect blocks or blurs for anything that crosses the line.

• If you’re editing real people, be mindful of consent and policy—misuse can get you flagged, and it’s just not worth it.

Practical uses that felt legit

• Storyboarding: quick frames to communicate tone, props, and lighting before committing time to a full render or shoot.

• Concept previews: rough visual directions for clients or teammates to react to (saves long back-and-forth).

• Educational visuals: simple diagrams or scene recreations where photorealism isn’t critical.

What’s your take on Grok Imagine so far?

I've seen people talking about recovering old videos they've since unfavorited, but there's no native means to access these through the UI. It turns out that they may still be in your browser history. Just search for "imagine/post" and they should show up titled "Grok grok.com" or "Make your own image with Grok Imagine grok.com". When you open them, you should have the option to re-favorite them. I assume X retains the data for a time before hard deleting it. The server space consumed by these vids must be massive.
