A Closer Look at the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Model
xAI's lighter, lower-cost option within the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lineup — audio-ready clips rendered privately through Venice.
- The Lighter Member of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 LineupLive on Venice since September 30, 2026, this lighter option delivers 480p to 1080p output, clips running 1–15 seconds, and sound baked into the very same render.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video, Both IncludedThe family ships a text-driven variant alongside a still-image variant, and Venice exposes each of them permissionlessly through the app or the Venice API.
- Private by Default, Nothing RetainedVenice files it under the private tier: prompts and uploaded stills are never warehoused, profiled or trained on, no generation history is tied to you, and you settle per clip instead of carrying a SuperGrok subscription.
Getting Started with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
From a written idea or one still image to a finished, sound-complete clip on Venice — in three quick steps.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Key Capabilities
Built-in sound, a complete resolution ladder, second-by-second duration control and private rendering — here is what this lighter Grok Imagine Video 1.5 model actually gives you.
Sound Rendered With the Picture
Effects, room tone and spoken lines are generated alongside the visuals and land on the beat, so you never bolt audio on in a second pass or nudge sync by hand.
Every Resolution, One-Second Steps
Pair 480p, 720p or 1080p with any length between 1 and 15 seconds in one-second increments — rare granularity at this price point.
The Most Affordable Way Into the 1.5 Line
Renders start at $0.04 on Venice, keeping drafts and social-length iterations inexpensive while the price scales with resolution and duration.
More Believable Motion and Physics
According to xAI's release notes, the 1.5 generation shows fewer warps and more convincing weight and momentum across a clip than the model before it.
Reads Camera Language
Explicit directions such as push-in, pan, handheld or crane are understood, and prompts up to 4,096 characters are accepted when subject and action come first.
Private Tier, Zero Retention
Prompts and source stills are not warehoused, profiled or reused for training, and no generation log is bound to your identity — unlike xAI's first-party apps, which keep a library.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on per-clip pricing, built-in sound, animating stills and how Venice handles your prompts.
How much does one clip cost, and what drives the price?
Pricing is per clip and rises with resolution and duration — $0.04 for a 480p one-second render, $0.05 for 720p at one second and $0.18 for 1080p at one second, up to 15 seconds. No subscription is required, and new Venice accounts include a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Is audio included, and can I direct it?
Yes. Sound is generated inside the same render rather than layered on afterwards, so effects, ambience and spoken lines hit on the beat, and speech comes through clearer and better timed than in the earlier generation. Simply describe the sounds you want in your prompt.
Can I animate a photo I already have?
Yes — that is exactly what the image-to-video variant is for. It sets a still in motion at 480p/720p/1080p for 1–15 seconds with audio. A separate text-to-video variant builds a clip from a written prompt alone.
How is this lighter tier different from the flagship model?
Both run privately on Venice with 1080p, 15-second output and native audio. This lighter tier costs less, which suits volume work and drafts, while the flagship adds multi-reference control (up to seven image references) and voice references that hold a character's face and voice across scenes.
Can I self-host, fine-tune or audit the model?
No — the weights are proprietary to xAI and have never been published, so self-hosting, fine-tuning and auditing are all off the table. You can test it on Venice using welcome credits before paying per clip; Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.
What happens to my prompts and uploaded images?
Venice classifies every prompt and uploaded still as private-tier material: nothing stays on the servers, nothing is profiled, and nothing feeds a training pipeline. No generation history links back to you, whereas xAI's own apps file your outputs into an account-based library.
Render with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite — Privately
Your prompts stay unlogged and your uploads never train a model. Open a Venice account with 500 welcome credits and produce your first clip with sound before you pay a cent.
