I've got a profile over on civitai.com, and I've tried uploading my gens here, but I get an error about the video type. I use Grok Imagine to generate content, and I'm not sure how I can get the videos compatible with the e6ai's requirements. Any tips?

Handbrake should help you with this, if you have a computer on hand. I'm almost certain the problem is that you have an mp4 file that is encoded in h264, which is not compatible on e6* at the moment. Handbrake is a tool that allows you to transcode (or "convert") video files to other formats. Probably the most balanced option to convert to is the VP9 codec in the .webm format. I'll try to make this as easy as possible for you. Install Handbrake, drag/open your video file into Handbrake, on the Preset drop-down menu, scroll down to the Matroska section and select "VP9 MKV 2160p60 4K" (it won't make your video 4K, that's just the upper limit that preset allows, it'll still be at whatever resolution it was before). Then go to the summary tab and change the Format to WebM. At that point, I believe you don't need to change anything else and you should be able to just press the green Start Encode button at the top. It may take a while for that to finish, unfortunately VP9 is just slow to encode but it has the best web/device compatibility among the encoders you can use on e6ai. When it's done, try uploading your video with the new file that Handbrake outputted. The bottom of the Handbrake window shows where the output path to the file is, if you're wondering where it went.

FFmpeg is technically another option, but it's command-line based so not very user-friendly for most people. Handbrake utilizes FFmpeg anyway, so it should cover most cases you would need for this. Also, if you're on mobile, then I don't really know what your options are, but I'll try to look into it if that's what you need.
