● From the community
Real renders from the people using the composer.

“Over-caffeinated founder races through a morning routine, whip-pans, chaos”
OC StudioGrok Imagine 1.5

“Rain-slicked city asphalt at night mirrors shapeless neon glow in teal and magenta, a car's headlights sweep across the puddles and the reflections ripple apart, slow dolly forward at street level, wet texture and specular highlights, no signage, no lettering and no logos anywhere in frame”
OC StudioGrok Imagine Video

“A dancer's silhouette turns inside a swirling cloud of gold dust, a single hard beam of backlight rakes through the particles, dust flaring where the light catches it, deep black surround, vertical framing, slow motion, no text and no lettering”

● Questions
Up to 2K. The composer opens at 1K and both sizes cost the same, so the choice is about the deliverable rather than the budget.
⚡11 per render, at 1K and at 2K. A free account opens with ⚡50. Packs start at $10/1,000⚡.
Up to three. Enough for a product, its packaging and the surface it sits on.
Fifteen ratios, from 1:1 and 9:16 through to 20:9, plus an auto setting that lets the model pick the frame the prompt implies. The composer lists them all before you spend anything.
Yes, and that is the intended loop. Grok Imagine 1.5 takes exactly one still as its input, so the frame you keep here becomes the take there. Same wallet, same library.
Grok for fast, expressive product and portrait frames. Seedream when the deliverable leans on typography and key art. Both sit in the same composer, on the same wallet.
● The receipts
Every link goes to the vendor's own page.
Keep the two that land. Move one next door.

Or roll with a sibling model
Grok Imagine renders images from the same brain as the video line. Product and packaging are what it gets asked for most: a sneaker outlined in neon, a dive watch inside a burst of water, a dropper beside its carton. It does not stop there. The same model returns a rain-dark pier at dusk or dust in the shafts of an empty warehouse. Text goes in, or up to three reference images.
1K and 2K cost the same ⚡11. There is no quality tier to weigh up and no upsell at the top of the ladder. Pick the size the deliverable needs.
Square, vertical, widescreen, and the long cinema ratios down to 20:9. Auto lets the model pick the frame the prompt implies. The composer lists them all before you spend anything.
Grok Imagine 1.5 animates the still you just made, one to fifteen seconds at up to 1080p. Render here, move it there. One wallet covers the whole models roster.
