## Query Task Status
After submitting a task, use the unified query endpoint to check progress and retrieve results:
Learn how to query task status and retrieve generation results
For production use, we recommend using the `callBackUrl` parameter to receive automatic notifications when generation completes, rather than polling the status endpoint.

summary: Generate Grok Imagine Video from Image
description: >-
Create a new Grok Imagine image-to-video generation task using the
grok-imagine/image-to-video model.
### Important Notes
- Generated videos are processed asynchronously
- Use the returned taskId to track generation progress
- Callback URL is recommended for production use to receive automatic
notifications when generation completes
- Generated video URLs are valid for 24 hours - download and store
videos immediately
- Supports input from external image URLs or previously generated Grok
images
- High-quality video generation with motion from static images
### Generation Time
Video generation typically takes:
- **Standard quality**: 15-20 seconds
- **High complexity prompts**: 20-30 seconds
### Rate Limits
- Maximum 25 concurrent tasks per account
- Maximum 250 task creations per hour
- Single video per request
### Input Options
You can provide input images in two ways:
**1. External Image URLs** (`image_urls`):
- Supports JPEG, PNG, WEBP formats
- Maximum file size: 10MB
- Only one image URL supported
- Spicy mode not available with external images
**2. Previously Generated Images** (`task_id` + `index`):
- Use task ID from previous Grok image generation
- Select specific image by index (0-5)
- Supports all modes including Spicy
- Do not use with `image_urls`
### Best Practices
**Prompt Writing:**
- Describe the motion, camera movement, and action you want to see
- Be specific about timing and transitions
- Consider the composition of your input image
- Include details about the environment and context
**Input Selection:**
- Use high-quality, well-composed images as input
- Ensure the image subject is clearly visible
- For complex scenes, use previously generated Grok images with task_id
- Test different modes to achieve desired motion style
### Mode Selection
- **fun**: More creative and playful interpretation
- **normal**: Balanced approach with good motion quality
- **spicy**: More dynamic and intense motion effects (not available for
external images)
### Common Issues
**Video quality not as expected:** Try different prompts, adjust mode,
or use different input images
**Generation taking too long:** Typical generation is 15-30 seconds;
check task status or verify callback URL accessibility
**Motion doesn't match prompt:** Be more specific about movement
directions, camera angles, and timing
