Grok Imagine Now Handles the Soundtrack Too—and the Comments on This Train Video Are Split

Elon Musk retweeted a post about Grok Imagine on X, adding just one word: True. The original post was from X Freeze. It said that Grok Imagine is improving absurdly fast and can now generate the best music and add it directly to videos. If you haven't tried it recently, now's the time.

X Freeze's demo shows a woman sitting on a train watching the sunset. She's wearing glasses and white wired earphones, her hair falls over her shoulders, and outside the window the sky ranges from orange-yellow to pale purple. The original post didn't go into technical details; it only emphasized the music-generation step. The comments quickly split into two camps.

Dan Martini said the result was genuinely impressive, but you can tell it's AI. CajunCybertruck argued that combining video and music makes Grok Imagine feel like a complete creative studio. Ledge Andary focused on the workflow: generating music and video together saves an extra step. Todd Spargo's feedback was more specific: character inconsistency across shots, and he wondered whether he was using it wrong. e2bitz_83 said the music was better, but the neck of the girl in the headscarf still needs fixing. Shady said the visuals still look plastic, like a statue—just a little better. He also mentioned that Grok needs a sound library similar to Instagram's and TikTok's to solve copyright and discovery issues.

Some users directly posted videos made with Grok Imagine, captioned Made with Grok Imagine. Others posted images to show approval.

For people who make videos, the pain point is clear. Kyle Thompson said he has a pile of drone footage sitting around because finding music is too annoying. American said he went from a single prompt to an 11-minute documentary in just a few weeks. Whether these claims are typical is another question. But combining video generation and soundtrack generation in the same tool will indeed change workflows. Previously you had to find visuals, find music, and handle copyright separately; now you can generate everything at once and then pick the usable clips.

That's also where the problem lies. Character consistency, limb details, and the plastic look of the visuals were all called out in the comments. Music generation can save steps, but that doesn't mean the final video is ready to use. For developers, APIs, controllability, and copyright rules matter more than demo videos. For ordinary users, the first try may be cool, but by the second try they'll be staring at fingers and necks.

Grok Imagine is worth trying now. Don't treat it as one-click finished video. Treat it as a creative studio that can quickly produce drafts—that's closer to reality.
