xAI SuperGrok - Grok Imagine Recommended
Open xAI SuperGrok →Bring your clips to Movie Maker Edit - stitch them into one continuous video, add a soundtrack, and export a finished MP4. It is free, needs no account and no API key, and runs entirely in your browser.
Open Movie Maker Edit →Movie Maker Edit is free - no account, no API key. The clip generator above requires its own paid subscription.
The good news: when you run out of free quota in your SuperGrok session, you can keep working on your long video without any 5-hour quotas. A free version of Movie Maker Create is provided. Here is how it works: just open Movie Maker Create, get an xAI key - instructions are provided in the app - and enter your API key. Then you can create as many watermark-free video clips as you want for $0.07 per second of xAI API tokens that you pay for yourself. You won't even need a SuperGrok subscription to do this. Combine all your clips in the free Movie Maker Edit when you are done.
Movie Maker Create is free to use with your own API key and gives you full control:
Movie Maker Create requires no subscription whatsoever - not Google Gemini Pro, not anything else - only a funded xAI API key, with xAI billing you for the clips you generate. Detailed setup instructions are in the app itself.
Footnote - Google Gemini option (not recommended)
Google Gemini Pro and MovieMaker Gemini still work, but are not recommended at this time. Gemini costs more than Grok and produces less accurate videos in lower quantities. It only, at best, provides an alternative - a more costly and difficult path. Use it only if Grok cannot deliver exactly what you need and Gemini can, though this is rare.
Google Gemini Pro App (Veo 3.1). Up to 4K, up to 10 seconds per clip, with audio. Requires a Google Gemini Pro (or higher) subscription, min $19.99/mo. In practice you will be lucky to get one usable clip per 5-hour window before the quota slams shut for another five hours.
MovieMaker Gemini. Roughly $0.40 per second - about 5.7× the price of Grok. It also requires a Google Gemini Pro or higher subscription (min $19.99/mo) and a paid Tier 1 or higher Google Cloud API key.
