Generative Videos (`VideoConductor`)

Ring Platform ships VideoConductor — async xAI Grok video generation with draft, draft_i2v, production, and production_i2v modes, mirroring the ImageConductor pattern.

Feature guide

Model truth (corrected 2026-06-18)

Model	Modalities	Resolution	~$/sec	Script scenes
`grok-imagine-video`	Text-to-video + I2V + R2V + edit	480p, 720p	$0.05	Montages, UI demos — vague dialogue
`grok-imagine-video-1.5`	Image-to-video only (+ prompt for motion/script)	480p, 720p	$0.08 / $0.14	Preferred when `imageUrl` + `DIALOGUE:` prompt

Important: grok-imagine-video-1.5 is not text-only T2V. It requires a starting frame (imageUrl). Your intuition is correct that it also accepts a rich text prompt — that prompt drives motion and implied dialogue. xAI Imagine I2V · AIML 1.5 preview.

Workflow for nightclub / dialogue clips:

Author scripted-video-generation-request-*.json or pass firstFramePrompt on ring-video-create.
Pipeline auto-generates still → draft_i2v @ 480p + compiled DIALOGUE: prompt.
remaster: true @ 720p or sourceVideoUrl edit pass.

See Scripted media pipeline.

Lip-sync is best-effort — burn exact lines in post when word-perfect delivery matters.

Quality modes (SSOT: `lib/video/video-presets.json`)

`qualityMode`	Model	Resolution	~$/sec	Needs `imageUrl`
`draft` (default)	`grok-imagine-video`	480p	$0.05	No (T2V)
`draft_i2v`	`grok-imagine-video-1.5`	480p	$0.08	Yes
`production`	`grok-imagine-video`	720p	$0.05	No

Auto-select: qualityMode: draft + imageUrl → draft_i2v (no extra flag needed).

Remaster strategies

Input	Behavior
`remaster: true` only	Re-generate at 720p (`production` or `production_i2v` if `imageUrl`)
`remaster: true` + `sourceVideoUrl`	`POST /v1/videos/edits` — edit existing manifest/CDN MP4 (xAI video editing)
