I was planning on doing some social media shorts where I post videos and add my own written music to the video and been messing around with Grok video generation but the videos are limited to 5 seconds, even with the paid X.com $8 subscription. Does anyone know if getting the higher tier subscription (SuperGrok I think it's called) raises the duration of videos? I tried to make a longer scene, basically telling Grok to use the last frame from a video for the first frame in the next video generation and to make it a seamless and smooth transition, and then stitching together the 5 second videos into a longer one (with ffmpeg command line tool... lol I'm old school) ... but this method isn't ideal because the video stutters every 5 seconds. I don't know if it's a limitation of the tool I'm using (ffmpeg) and need to get an actual video editor or if it's a limitation of trying to glue videos together in this manner. Any way to fix this? Are there other video generation AI that can create longer videos? I'm guessing I have to pay...is there any free ones or are the free ones also limited to 5 seconds? I like Grok because I use it daily to research things, and the image/video realism looks fantastic. I get it that these things are still new and in active development, but the 5 second limitation is a real vibe killer and so far my attempts to work around it have failed. If I gotta pay I might just have to, but it would be nice if there is a free tier that I can mess around with first, but it's not necessary. Anyone know any good ones or what would you recommend/use?

Hey guys I'm thinking of expanding my plugin collection. Thought about the East west choir wuth the angel and devil cover. Also the Virharmonic violin. The budget would be around those two vsts, they're in sale now for 89€ and 150€ Unless... Someone knows a much better Plugin to get? What choir and violin plugins do you use? Right now I only have Kontakt choir but it sounds very unrealistic and the session strings are difficult to deal with when I wanna make more realistic stuff. So what's your thought?

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask what drums and effects are you using for your trailers? I'm familiar with Keepforest and Heavyocity but are other really cool ones that anyone uses and wants to share?
