Words are the only source

Text to video does not ask for a photograph. That is the difference from image to video, which starts from a still. The button on this page shows the credits before it calls the provider.

A still is a different page

Image to video starts from a photograph and shows its own credit count. This page starts from the sentence and shows the count for the text model you picked.

Typing does not create a charge

The prompt is the source. The model menu is Grok Imagine, Grok Imagine 1.5, and three Veo 3.1 tiers. Duration and resolution change the credit total when the Kie price is per second. Veo stays one price across 4, 6, and 8 seconds at 1080p, because that is how the public price is listed.

A pack does not open this button

A plan or a pack adds credits for jobs that already have a price. A failed run returns its credits.

What text to video does

Text to video means a clip that begins as words, with no source photograph. You write the clip, pick a model, and the button shows the credits for the resolution and length you selected.

Image to video is the same kind of clip when the source is a photograph. This page does not ask for a file. A failed run returns the credits it spent.

Why the price is on the button

Video models do not share one price. Resolution and length change the credits, and the button updates before the run. A failed clip returns that spend.

How this page behaves today

Write the clip, choose the model, then the size, resolution, and duration that model documents. Grok Imagine prices 480p and 720p by the second and includes audio. Veo 3.1 Lite, Fast, and Quality are priced per 1080p video. The button total is that price. A failed run returns the credits.

For a search that asked for video from words

A clip from a sentence uses the models on this page. The button shows the credits for the resolution and length you picked. It does not use a made-up count.

If the sentence was really about a picture you have, start on image to video. Credits come from a monthly plan, a yearly plan, or a pack. Monthly credits last a month. Yearly credits last a year. A pack does not expire.

Questions

Does text to video include an upload field?

No. Grok Imagine, Grok Imagine 1.5, and the three Veo 3.1 tiers on this page take the sentence only.

Which durations does a Grok Imagine clip from words offer?

6, 10, and 15 seconds. Grok Imagine 1.5 offers 6, 8, 10, and 15. Both price 480p and 720p by the second, and the audio is included.

Which frame sizes does Veo 3.1 offer when the clip starts as words?

16:9 and 9:16, at 1080p. The lengths are 4, 6, and 8 seconds, at one price for that tier.

Is audio billed again on a text-to-video run?

No. Audio is included in the credits the button already shows. A failed clip returns that spend.
