About character prompts
Character work in Grok Imagine leans hard on the close-up: it appears in 21.1% of these prompts versus 12% elsewhere, a 1.76x lift that puts faces and expressions at the centre of the frame. Lighting follows the same intimacy, with soft light (10.2% vs 7.8%, 1.31x) and warm tone (8.2% vs 6%, 1.37x) both running above baseline, so the typical Grok Imagine character prompt is a softly lit, warmly graded portrait rather than a wide action beat.

character prompts: common questions
How do I write a good Grok Imagine character prompt?
Anchor the shot on a close-up and describe the light. Close-ups appear in 21.1% of character prompts here, and soft light (10.2%) and warm tone (8.2%) are the most distinctive lighting choices, so naming both gives the model a clear, consistent read on the subject.
Should I include a consistency lock for a character?
Yes, it is the norm rather than the exception: 295 of 402 character prompts (73.4%) state a consistency lock. That is far more common than camera language (41.5%) or lighting (40.5%), which suggests locking identity matters more than styling the shot.
What aspect ratio and duration work best for character videos?
Vertical dominates, with 9:16 used in 58 prompts against just 2 for 16:9, and short clips win: 10 seconds is the most common duration at 11 prompts, followed by 15 seconds at 6. Only 28 prompts state a duration at all.
