[Subject motion, e.g. the waves roll in and crash against the rocks], [camera, e.g. slow aerial pull-back revealing the coastline], [atmosphere, e.g. sea spray drifting in the wind]. Sound: [audio, e.g. crashing surf and gulls].

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

• API: grok-imagine-video-1.5 image-to-video; aspect ratio follows the input image
• Duration up to 15 s; 1080p native
• In the app: open the image and choose Make video

Variations

• Product: "the camera orbits 90 degrees around the bottle, light glints move across the glass".
• Portrait of an original character: "she turns toward camera and smiles".
• Pin a last frame to land on an exact composition.

Tips

• Describe motion, not appearance; the image already defines the look.
• One camera move per clip looks more professional than several.
