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?

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to share the news that I have relaunched my Skool community for 2026 with new tiers, classroom content and live calls! This follows a pilot programme last year with some of you from this community, in which you helped me refine what I wanted my community to be, and kindly shared testimonials of your experience working with me. I'm really excited to see where this goes next and wanted to drop a post to thank all of you, especially my volunteers and @Alex Pfeffer for giving me the tools and confidence to actually give this a try - especially at the end of last year when I was starting to have doubts about pushing on with this new phase of the community! It's just another confirmation to me that the Audio Artist community is awesome and so unique in the support it provides - it's a pleasure to be part of it and to be in all of your corners as you do awesome things on your journeys!
