What Imagine Video 1.5 publishes, and what this form runs

The news page, read on 2026-11-09, says Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is generally available on the Imagine API, and that Video 1.5 Fast is on grok.com/imagine and the iOS and Android apps. It calls these their best image-to-video models yet, with better motion, better physics, and better audio. Sound effects, ambience, and dialogue are generated in the same pass. Speech is clearer and better synced. Movement holds together over the clip, with fewer warps and more believable weight. Fast almost doubles speed: a 6-second 720p video in about 25 seconds, down from 40+ seconds on their previous model. The same page says the API name, out of preview, is grok-imagine-video-1.5: give a starting image, describe the motion, and choose resolution and duration. The sample call uses duration 10 and resolution 720p. Those are xAI's sentences.

The model page, read the same day, names grok-imagine-video-1.5 and lists aliases grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview and grok-imagine-video-1.5-2026-05-30. The 2026-05-30 string is that alias, not the news date. Output is listed at $0.08 per second, then by resolution: 480p $0.08, 720p $0.14, 1080p $0.25. Image input is $0.01. Preset-voice audio input is free. You are charged for each second of video, and when an image or a video is an input. The page lists 10 requests per second. The pricing page repeats 480p $0.08, 720p $0.14, and 1080p $0.25 per second, with media input $0.01 per image. Video 1.5 Lite on that table is $0.02, $0.03, and $0.14 per second at 480p, 720p, and 1080p, also with $0.01 per image. This site does not sell Lite.

The video overview, read the same day, says grok-imagine-video-1.5 does text-to-video and image-to-video at native 1080p, clips of 1–15 seconds, resolutions 480p, 720p, and 1080p, and native audio with lip-synced speech. Image-to-video keeps the still's aspect ratio and ignores aspect_ratio. It also lists up to 14 reference images, up to 3 voice references, a first and last frame, and up to 4 mid-video keyframes. Lite does text and image to video with lip-synced speech, reaches 1080p by upscaling 720p, and does not list references, voices, or pinned frames. The older grok-imagine-video page is the one they describe for editing and extension. This form is none of those extra controls.

On this page the generator starts as Grok Imagine 1.5, on image to video. One uploaded still, 8 seconds, 480p, 16:9 or 9:16 or 1:1, 120 credits. The same menu item also prices an 8-second clip with no still at 120 credits. There is no switch to turn audio off. xAI says the video includes native audio; this site did not generate a clip to listen to one. The older menu item Grok Imagine is 6 seconds and 30 credits, and this site does not accept a still for that item. Switching the menu changes the model. 64 sign-up credits do not cover 120.

How to read Imagine Video 1.5

It is an image-to-video model

xAI's news page says you give a starting image and describe the motion. The overview says that still becomes the first frame. This page opens on image to video.

Audio is part of their description

The news page says sound effects, ambience, and dialogue are generated in the same pass. The overview says native audio with lip-synced speech. This form has no audio off switch. We did not play a generated clip.

Their range is wider than this form

They list 1–15 seconds and 480p, 720p, and 1080p. This form asks for 8 seconds at 480p. 720p, 1080p, Lite, and Fast are not controls here.

This is not the xAI app

Fast on grok.com/imagine, iOS, and Android is their product. Projects, parallel agents, and library search are sentences on their news page. This site does not log you into xAI.

How to make a clip on this page

1
Upload a still you can use
The form starts on image to video. Use a photo of a place or an object. Do not upload a person you do not have the right to animate, and do not paste a brand.
2
Describe the motion
Say what should move, and what should stay. The only length is 8 seconds. The ratio choices are 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1. The request asks for 480p. The price is 120 credits.
3
Leave the menu on Grok Imagine 1.5
That is the control for this page. Grok Imagine, without 1.5, is the other menu item: 6 seconds, 30 credits, and no still on this site. Lite and Fast are not in the menu.

Prompts for one still

Written for this 8-second form. They do not ask for 15 seconds, 1080p, a voice file, or a second reference image.

Lantern
The paper lantern in the still sways once in a light breeze. Keep the table, the light, and the empty room. No new objects, no people, no readable text, no logos.
Wheat
Wind moves across the wheat in the still, toward the lone tree. The camera stays fixed. No people, no animals, no readable text, no logos.
Road
Clouds drift over the empty road in the still. No cars enter, no people enter, the camera stays fixed. No readable signs, no logos.
Hold the frame
Keep the object in the still. A slow push-in, then back to the opening frame. Do not add people, text, or logos.

FAQ

Imagine Video 1.5 FAQ

Facts from xAI's news page, model page, pricing page, and video overview, read on 2026-11-09, plus the controls on this form.

Is Imagine Video 1.5 the same name as Grok Imagine Video 1.5?

On xAI's news page they are the same announcement. The API name they print is grok-imagine-video-1.5. This page uses Imagine Video 1.5 because that is the search. /grok-imagine-video-1-5 opens the same page.

Can I turn a still into a video here?

Yes. The form opens on image to video. Upload one still, describe the motion, and the request is 8 seconds at 480p for 120 credits. 64 sign-up credits do not cover 120. xAI's overview describes 1–15 seconds and 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Those other lengths and sizes are not controls here.

Does the clip include sound?

xAI's news page says sound effects, ambience, and dialogue are generated in the same pass. The overview says native audio with lip-synced speech. This form has no switch to turn audio off. This site did not call the generator to listen to a sample, so it does not describe how a particular clip sounds.

Is $0.08 per second the price on this site?

No. 480p $0.08, 720p $0.14, and 1080p $0.25 per second, plus $0.01 per input image, are xAI's prices, read on 2026-11-09. Lite is $0.02, $0.03, and $0.14 per second at those sizes. This form charges 120 credits for 8 seconds at 480p. It does not sell Lite.

What is Video 1.5 Fast?

The news page says Video 1.5 Fast is on grok.com/imagine and the iOS and Android apps, and that it makes a 6-second 720p video in about 25 seconds, down from 40+ seconds on their previous model. That speed is their sentence. This form does not offer Fast, and it does not promise a generation time.

What does this form not do?

It does not take 14 reference images, 3 voice files, a last frame, or 4 keyframes. It does not edit or extend a video. It does not log into xAI, and it does not add their app credits. The older Grok Imagine menu item is 6 seconds and 30 credits, without a still on this site.

Is Nano AI affiliated with xAI?

No. Nano AI is not affiliated with xAI. Grok, Imagine, and grok.com are their names. The stills are from their documentation.
