On this studio the generation limits are fixed and visible: clips run 4-15 seconds, output is 768P or 2K, and each request accepts up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio files, and 12 materials in total. Usage limits on the official Grok app are a separate thing — they depend on your xAI plan and reset on that plan’s schedule. This page covers both.
Supported files: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, or HEIF for images; MP4 or MOV for video; WAV or MP3 for audio.
If you generate on the official Grok app, you hit usage limits tied to your xAI plan — and those limits reset on a schedule xAI controls. That reset is not something anyone else can change or look up for you; the app shows your current allowance.
This studio works differently: there is no rolling usage window to wait out. You spend credits per generation — the estimate is shown on the generate button — and your plan’s credits refill with the billing cycle. If you run out mid-cycle, you top up or move up a plan instead of waiting for a reset.
Enough for one beat: a product reveal, a camera move, a reaction, a logo sting, or a loop. Not enough for a story with setup and payoff — those are two or three generations cut together. Plan clips as beats, not scenes, and the duration limit stops being a limitation.
Clips on this studio run from 4 to 15 seconds per generation. Longer videos are made by generating several clips and editing them together.
Up to 2K. You can also generate at 768P, which is faster and cheaper for drafts while you are testing motion.
Up to 9 images, 3 videos with 15 seconds total, and 3 audio files with 15 seconds total — 12 materials in total per request.
The allowance on the official app resets on xAI’s schedule for your plan; the app shows your current state. This studio does not operate that limit — here, credits refill with your billing cycle.
Long durations are harder: there is more time for motion to drift, especially with complex or fast movement. Split the idea into two shorter beats, or simplify the action so a single motion carries the full clip.
Draft cheap at 768P, finish in up to 2K — the credit estimate is visible before every run.
