Creative Projects — Combine multiple visual references to create unique video compositions.

Pro Tips

Use high-quality, well-lit reference images for better identity preservation.
Reference uploaded images in your prompt using @image1, @image2, etc. for precise control.
Keep reference content and prompt aligned — if references show a character, describe that character's actions.
Start with fewer references and add more if needed for richer context.
Use 6-second generations to test your prompt before committing to 10 seconds.

Notes

Both images and prompt are required fields.
Up to 7 reference images are supported.

Grok Imagine Video Reference To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/x-ai/grok-imagine-video/reference-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Grok Imagine Video Reference To Video below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/x-ai/grok-imagine-video/reference-to-video" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "duration": 6,
    "resolution": "720p"
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("x-ai/grok-imagine-video/reference-to-video", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "duration": 6,
        "resolution": "720p"
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "x-ai/grok-imagine-video/reference-to-video",
    {
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
