What should I prepare before starting?

Supply a short source video, not only a still frame. This workflow uses the video-edit input of Grok Imagine Video; begin with a clip of eight seconds or less and a specific style description.

Will every frame keep the exact motion and identity of the source?

The source guides the edit, but generation may alter details or motion. Inspect the entire output and use a controlled compositing workflow if exact frame preservation is essential.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

Source clip

Choose a short, clear clip with readable subjects and limited occlusion.

Style direction

Specify outlines, shading, proportions, and palette instead of a vague cartoon label.

Motion anchors

Name the actions, camera movement, and subject placement that should stay recognizable.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

Restyle the supplied short walking clip as a clean cartoon with bold outlines, flat warm colors, and simple cel shading. Preserve the walking action, camera direction, and subject placement; avoid extra characters.

Another approach

Transform my short garden video into a soft illustrated cartoon style. Keep the camera movement and major plant positions recognizable, with restrained outlines and a consistent green palette throughout.

Finishing the result

Generative video editing may change timing, appearance, or details. Test a short segment first; longer sequences require separate clips, consistency review, and editing.

Open the video Playground

Choose Grok Imagine Video in Pixo, attach the source video, and describe the cartoon linework, palette, and motion details to preserve. Review the available settings before generating.

Review the whole edited clip

Review the whole clip for flicker, identity changes, unstable outlines, background shifts, and altered actions.

Finish the sequence

Generative video editing may change timing, appearance, or details. Test a short segment first; longer sequences require separate clips, consistency review, and editing.
