Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Built for Volume Work
A wallet-friendly member of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup — sound-complete clips rendered inside a no-retention environment on Venice.
- The Entry Point in the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 LineupLaunched on Venice on September 30, 2026, this xAI release spans 480p through 1080p and 1–15 second runtimes, with sound baked into the same render.
- Two Modes for Two Ways of WorkingText-to-video and image-to-video both ship inside the same family, and Venice exposes either one — through the web app or the REST API — without gatekeeping.
- Privacy-First, Zero-Retention RenderingVenice places it in the private tier: prompts and uploaded stills are never stored, profiled or trained on, no history is tied to your identity, and you settle per clip instead of holding a SuperGrok plan.
Three Steps to a Finished Clip with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Go from a written idea or one still photo to a completed, sound-ready video on Venice in three quick steps.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Features at a Glance
Built-in sound, three resolution steps, one-second duration control and no-retention processing — the practical strengths of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite tier.
Sound Generated With the Picture
Ambience, effects and dialogue arrive in the same render as the visuals and stay on the beat, so there is no second audio pass and no manual sync work.
480p to 1080p, Second-by-Second Lengths
Every resolution step — 480p, 720p, 1080p — pairs with any length between 1 and 15 seconds, adjustable one second at a time; that kind of control is rare at this price.
The Lowest-Cost Way Into the 1.5 Lineup
Venice pricing opens at $0.04 a render, which keeps test runs and short social cuts cheap; what you pay still rises with resolution and runtime.
More Believable Motion and Weight
xAI's own release notes point to fewer warping artifacts and more convincing momentum and mass than the earlier generation produced.
Understands Camera Language
Direct the shot with real film terms — push-in, pan, handheld, crane — and write up to 4,096 characters, ideally leading with the subject and the action.
Private by Default, Nothing Retained
Your text and uploaded stills are not stored, profiled or fed into training, and no output history is attached to you — a contrast with xAI's own apps, which build a personal library.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on per-clip cost, built-in sound, animating photos and how Venice handles your data.
How much does one clip cost across resolutions and lengths?
Billing is per clip and tracks both resolution and length: a 1-second 480p render is $0.04, 720p is $0.05 and 1080p is $0.18, with longer clips priced upward to 15 seconds. There is no subscription, and new Venice accounts come with a daily free allowance and 500 welcome credits.
Can it produce audio, and how do I direct it?
Yes — sound is part of the render instead of a later step, so ambience, effects and dialogue land on the beat, and speech is clearer and better timed than the previous generation managed. Just describe the sounds you want inside your prompt.
Can I turn a photo I already have into motion?
That is exactly what the image-to-video mode does: it animates a still at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds, sound included. A companion text-to-video mode instead builds footage purely from a written description.
How is the Lite tier different from the flagship Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
Both versions deliver 1080p, 15-second clips with sound and run privately on Venice. The difference is price and control: Lite suits high-volume drafts, while the flagship adds multi-reference input — up to seven images — plus voice references that keep a character's face and voice consistent between scenes.
Are the weights open, and can I self-host or fine-tune?
The model belongs to xAI and no weights have been released, so self-hosting, fine-tuning and auditing are all off the table. Venice welcome credits let you test it before paying per clip, and Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option that also generates audio.
What happens to my prompts and uploaded images on Venice?
Everything you type and upload is handled as private-tier material — nothing is stored on the servers, analysed for profiling or pushed into a training pipeline, and no history is tied back to you. By contrast, xAI's own apps file your results into a library under your account.
