01
Give a portrait a natural gesture
Try a subtle head turn or shift in gaze and review how the model interprets the expression. A starting brief could be: The person gently turns toward the window as a soft breeze moves their hair, subtle camera push-in. Choose a clear image with a stable composition, then describe the action or camera movement you want to explore. The image sets a visual reference; the prompt explains the change you want.

02
Animate an existing atmosphere
Use motion already suggested by the image, such as leaves, fabric, reflections, or light. A starting brief could be: Leaves sway in a light breeze, sunlight and shadows drift softly across the scene, steady camera. The result is a new video clip guided by the reference, and it may not preserve every detail pixel for pixel. Confirm that the selected model supports image-to-video, then review people and product details in the result.

03
Move the camera through a space
A slow pan or push-in can add movement while keeping the main composition familiar. A starting brief could be: Slow cinematic push toward the focal point, gentle depth and natural ambient movement. Settings vary by model. Before submitting, review the supported inputs, aspect ratios, output options, and credit estimate shown in the composer. After generation, inspect the subject, text, product details, and overall composition before saving a result.

Grok Imageine
Give a portrait a natural gesture
Use the workflow to animate a still image with one creative goal you can review. Start with a simple input, then adjust the subject, composition, and visual focus. Keep useful prompt wording so the next iteration develops the same direction instead of changing every detail at once.

Animate an existing atmosphere
Use the workflow to animate a still image as a visual draft for a campaign. Decide what the audience should notice first, then check whether the composition fits the intended placement. Review the generated scene before adding final captions, music, brand wording, or publishing details in your editing process.

Move the camera through a space
Use the workflow to animate a still image with reference material you have permission to use. Identify which product features matter most in the brief. Generated text, proportions, and small textures may change, so compare the result with the original product information before using it in a listing or promotion.

Will the output preserve the reference exactly?
Use the workflow to animate a still image from a brief that separates the subject, setting, style, and output goal. Change one major direction at a time and keep a record of the prompt and supported settings. Compare the alternatives against the original visual intent before choosing a version.
What can a focused scene prompt look like?
Start with a brief below, then refine one important detail after reviewing the result. The artwork illustrates visual directions; it does not promise a particular model output.
