Meet the Affordable Side of Grok Imagine Video 1.5
A low-cost entry point into xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup, delivering audio-complete renders through Venice's private, zero-retention pipeline.
- A Lighter, Cheaper Member of the 1.5 LineupRunning on Venice since September 30, 2026, this affordable option in xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 range covers 480p through 1080p and 1 to 15 seconds, with sound baked into every render.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video in One PlaceWhether you begin with written words or an existing photo, both modes are available without gatekeeping — through the web app or programmatically via the Venice API.
- Built for Privacy and Zero RetentionEverything you submit stays in Venice's private tier: prompts and stills are never stored, profiled or used for training, no history is tied to your account, and you pay as you go instead of holding a SuperGrok plan.
Getting Started with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
From a written idea or one photo to a completed, sound-ready clip in three quick steps.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Key Capabilities
Synchronized sound, three resolution options, one-second duration steps and a privacy-first pipeline — the practical strengths you get from this Grok Imagine Video 1.5 tier.
Sound Generated With the Picture
Room tone, effects and dialogue arrive already matched to the visuals, hitting their cues precisely — no separate audio pass and no manual syncing required.
Three Resolutions, One-Second Precision
Mix any of the three resolutions with durations from 1 to 15 seconds, adjustable one second at a time — a level of control rarely offered so cheaply.
The Lowest-Cost Way Into the 1.5 Lineup
Starting at $0.04 for a single render on Venice, test runs and short social edits remain budget-friendly, with pricing rising only as resolution and length increase.
More Believable Motion and Weight
xAI's own release notes describe the 1.5 generation as producing fewer visual warps and more convincing momentum from the first frame to the last.
Reads Camera and Cinematography Cues
Describe camera moves such as push-ins, pans, handheld shakes or crane shots and the model responds, with prompts accepted up to 4,096 characters — lead with your subject and action for best results.
Private Tier With No Data Retention
Your prompts and uploaded stills are never archived, analyzed or fed into training, and no output history is linked to you — a contrast with xAI's own apps, which store everything in an account library.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Common Questions
Answers on cost, sound, animating stills and how private rendering works on Venice.
How much does a single clip cost across resolutions and lengths?
Pricing is per render and climbs with both resolution and length: $0.04 covers a 1-second 480p clip, $0.05 covers 720p at 1 second, and $0.18 covers 1080p at 1 second, extending to 15 seconds. There is no subscription, and new Venice accounts receive a daily free allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Does the model produce audio, and how do I steer it?
It does. Sound is produced during the same render instead of being layered on afterwards, so ambience, effects and dialogue land on cue, with speech that is clearer and better timed than the earlier generation. Simply describe the sounds you want in your prompt.
Can I turn a photo I already have into motion?
Absolutely — the image-to-video mode brings a still to life at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1 to 15 seconds, complete with audio. A companion text-to-video mode instead builds everything from a written description.
What separates this Lite option from the flagship Grok Imagine Video 1.5 model?
The two share the same private Venice pipeline, 1080p output, 15-second ceiling and built-in sound. This Lite version is the more affordable choice for drafts and high-volume work, while the flagship introduces multi-reference control with up to seven images plus voice references that keep a character's face and voice consistent between scenes.
Can I self-host or fine-tune the model, and is it open source?
No — the weights are proprietary to xAI and have never been released, which rules out self-hosting, fine-tuning or independent auditing. Venice's welcome credits let you test it before spending anything, and Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open-source option that also generates sound.
What happens to my prompts and uploaded images on Venice?
Every prompt and still you submit is handled as private-tier data — it is not retained on the servers, not profiled and never routed into training. No generation record is tied back to you, unlike xAI's own apps, which store your outputs in an account library.
Generate With Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite in Full Privacy
Your prompts stay unlogged and your uploads never train a model. Begin on Venice with 500 welcome credits and produce your first audio-complete clip before spending a cent.
