## What to compare visually

For a fair A/B test, use the same scene and, where both modes allow it, the same first frame. Inspect motion continuity, character and object consistency, physics and contacts, camera behavior, temporal deformation, in-clip cuts and audio synchronization.

## What to inspect with Grok Imagine Video

Animate a frame, try several ideas and build a clip lasting 6–30 seconds.

- Text or photos, 6–30 seconds, at 480p, 720p or 1080p.

- Up to 7 photos at 480p and 720p; one at 1080p. Presentation modes include Normal, Fun and Spicy.

## What to inspect with HeyGen Video

Creates videos with sound from a text prompt or a single source image.

- Text: the result is created from a written description.

- Every available setting is shown in the Studio form before launch, and the price follows them.

- The result length is 5 to 15 seconds.

- At most 1 photo as input.

## How to run a fair comparison

- Fix the scene, the first frame (if both models accept one), the duration and the resolution.

- Judge motion, not stills: faces, hands and objects should hold across the whole clip and at cuts.

- If sound matters, listen to it separately: dialogue, effects and lip sync differ between models.

- Price a finished clip, not a second: the per-second rate times your real duration, rounded up once.

## Sources

Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing.
