Meet the Affordable Side of Grok Imagine Video 1.5
The wallet-friendly member of xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup — sound-complete clips rendered privately through Venice at a per-clip price.
- The Entry Point to the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 LineupSince September 30, 2026 this lighter tier has lived on Venice, producing 1 to 15 second clips at 480p, 720p or 1080p with the soundtrack written into the very same pass.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video, Side by SideTwo variants ship with the family: one that builds footage from written words, another that animates a still you already own. Both are reachable on Venice through the app or the REST API, with no gatekeeping.
- Private by Default, Nothing KeptVenice files this model under its private tier — prompts and uploaded stills are never stored, profiled or fed into training, and no generation log is tied to your identity. You settle per clip instead of carrying a SuperGrok plan.
Three Steps to Your First Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Clip
From a written idea or a single photo to a finished, sound-complete clip on Venice — here is the whole path.
Core Strengths of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Tier
From same-pass audio and one-second duration steps to private, pay-per-render running — here is what you actually get from this lighter tier of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family.
Sound Baked Into Every Render
Room tone, effects and spoken dialogue arrive together with the picture and stay on the beat, so there is no separate audio pass and no manual syncing afterwards.
Resolution Ladder With One-Second Steps
480p, 720p and 1080p combine with any length between 1 and 15 seconds, adjustable second by second — fine-grained control that is rare at this price.
Lowest-Cost Way Into the 1.5 Family
Clips begin at $0.04 on Venice, which keeps drafts and short social edits affordable while spending rises only with resolution and length.
Steadier Motion, More Believable Physics
xAI's release notes credit the 1.5 generation with fewer warps and more convincing weight and momentum, so subjects move the way real objects would.
Built to Read Cinematic Language
Camera directions such as push-in, pan, handheld or crane are understood, and prompts can run up to 4,096 characters with the subject and action placed first.
Zero-Retention, Privacy-First Tier
Your prompts and source stills are not warehoused, profiled or reused for training, and nothing is logged against your identity — unlike xAI's own apps, which keep a running library.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Your Questions, Answered
Straight answers on cost per clip, how the audio works, animating a still, and what private running on Venice really means.
How much does one clip cost, and does resolution change the price?
Pricing is per clip and moves with both resolution and length — $0.04 for a 1-second 480p render, $0.05 at 720p and $0.18 at 1080p, with clips running as long as 15 seconds. Nothing is subscription-based, and new Venice accounts also include a daily free allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Does the model create audio, and who decides what it sounds like?
Audio is produced inside the render instead of being layered on later, so effects, ambience and dialogue land on the beat and speech comes through clearer and better timed than in the earlier generation. Simply describe the sounds you want inside your prompt.
Can I bring an existing photo to life?
Yes — that is the image-to-video variant, which sets a still in motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1 to 15 seconds with sound. The separate text-to-video variant builds a clip from a written prompt alone.
How is this tier different from the flagship Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
Both render 1080p, 15-second clips with native audio and both run privately on Venice. This tier is the lower-cost option built for drafts and high-volume work, while the flagship adds multi-reference control (as many as seven image references) plus voice references that hold a character's face and voice across scenes.
Can I self-host, fine-tune or inspect the weights?
The model belongs to xAI and no weights have been published, so self-hosting, fine-tuning and auditing are all off the table. You can test it on Venice using the welcome credits before paying per clip; Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option that also handles native audio.
What happens to my prompts and uploaded images on Venice?
Everything you submit is treated as private-tier material: nothing stays on the servers, nothing is profiled, and nothing enters a training pipeline. No generation history is linked back to you, whereas xAI's first-party apps file your results into an account-based library.
Render Privately with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Your prompts are never logged and your uploads never train a model — open a Venice account with 500 welcome credits and finish your first sound-complete clip before paying per clip.
