# Movie Maker Create

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/549488/MovieMaker-Grok

> Movie Maker Create (Grok) v5.2 is a free web-based video creation tool that uses xAI's Grok Imagine to generate cinematic clips from text prompts and images. It transforms photos into dynamic clips, holds a person, object or style consistent across separate generations, and chains clips into longer sequences. It runs in the browser with no installation and no account.

Four generation modes are unlocked from the start, with no tiering or upsell between them. Text to Video builds a clip from a written prompt alone. Image to Video animates a still photograph. Reference Images holds a person, object or style consistent across separate generations, which is what a production needs when a character has to look the same shot after shot. Extend a Clip appends further footage to a clip already generated, so sequences can run past the length of any single generation.

Output is 480p, 720p or 1080p, with 1080p available on image to video only, through the Enhanced 1.5 model, in four aspect ratios: 16:9 and 4:3 for landscape, 9:16 and 3:4 for portrait. Text and image clips run six, eight, ten or fifteen seconds. Reference clips stop at ten. An extension appends six to ten seconds, or six to eight if the source is already an extension. Every clip carries synchronized audio generated in the same pass rather than added afterward, and is delivered as H.264 MP4 with AAC audio. Advanced settings add a negative prompt, for stating what should be kept out of frame, and a seed for repeatable results. Options a mode cannot serve are greyed out rather than hidden, so the full capability set stays visible along with the reason a given setting is unavailable. The application warns when a source photo and the chosen aspect ratio disagree, which is the commonest way to waste money on a tool of this kind. HEIC and 40MB phone photographs are resized in the browser before anything is transmitted, and a failed generation is never charged.

The software runs on the user's own xAI API key, stored in the browser's localStorage and never sent to external servers. Requests go from the browser directly to xAI's API, bypassing intermediary servers. Finished clips are hosted on xAI's servers for 30 days before deletion, with URLs saved locally, so anything worth keeping should be downloaded within that window. Data can be removed at any time by clearing the browser's localStorage.

Generated videos carry no watermark and no provenance marking, and are the user's own to publish or sell. Generation is billed by xAI directly to the user's account rather than through any intermediary, with no subscription to the application, no markup, and no per-clip limits. Rates run from $0.05 per second at 480p to $0.25 per second at 1080p. A fifteen second clip costs $1.05 at 720p or $3.76 at 1080p. An itemized estimate appears before each generation, and a Usage tab totals what has been spent by session and lifetime, broken down by mode and model, exportable as CSV.

A standard xAI API account is all that is required, with no Pro tier, SuperGrok, or X Premium subscription, because Grok Imagine is accessible on pay-per-use credits from any xAI account. Users who already hold a SuperGrok or SuperGrok Heavy subscription can spend that session quota first, generating thirty to eighty or more clips depending on tier, and let the application take over with no quota at all once it runs out. Setup instructions cover creating an account at console.x.ai, obtaining an API key, adding prepaid credits with a $5 minimum, and configuring spending limits. Once a key is entered, an interactive guide explains the modes, settings, prompt techniques, costs, and downloads.

Assembly into a finished film is handled by companion tools in the same suite: Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition, free in any browser, or Movie Maker Edit Pro, Desktop Edition, which drives the hardware encoder on an NVIDIA, Intel or AMD card and handles films up to 150 minutes. Original soundtracks come from Lyric Remix Studio Gemin
