Grok Imagine Video 1.5
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI’s grok-imagine-video-1.5 SKU: text-to-video and image-to-video at native 1080p, clips 1–15 seconds, native audio with lip-synced speech, up to 14 reference images and 3 voice references, plus first, last and up to four mid-video keyframes. Reference-to-video on this SKU stays at 720p. It is not grok-imagine-video (720p, edit/extend) and not Grok Imagine Image 1.5. ImgToVid does not run Grok video; the generator on this page drafts on Seedance 2.5.
01 — Capabilities
Native 1080p with lip-sync, not the 720p edit SKU
xAI’s video overview puts 1080p, 14 refs and lip-synced speech on 1.5. Edit and extend stay on grok-imagine-video.
01
1–15 seconds across generate modes
Docs: duration 1 to 15 seconds on grok-imagine-video-1.5, including reference-to-video. There is no 10-second refs narrowing on this SKU. Default in the generate guide is 8 seconds. That is not Veo’s 4 / 6 / 8 picker.
02
Native 1080p for text and still; refs stay 720p
Text-to-video and image-to-video render 1080p natively. Listed resolutions: 480p, 720p, 1080p. Reference-to-video is listed at 720p. grok-imagine-video-1.5-lite reaches 1080p by upscaling 720p — that lite SKU is not this page.
03
14 images, 3 voices, pinned frames
Up to 14 reference images and 3 voice references. `image` pins the first frame, `last_frame` the last, and up to four keyframes sit in between. Pass the same still as first and last to loop. The older SKU lists 7 refs and no voice refs.
04
Lip-synced speech; no edit/extend on 1.5
Audio is native with lip-synced speech. Video editing (source up to 8.7s) and extension (+2–10s) are listed on grok-imagine-video, not on 1.5. Grok Imagine Image 1.5 stills do not run from this video SKU.
02 — Prompt to output
Prompts that match the clips above
Each prompt describes the picture on its card. “Use this prompt” sends that text to Create. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5, not Grok Imagine Video 1.5.
- 01 · Portrait
PromptClose-up of a young man with curly hair in a grey knit sweater, soft window light. He glances away, then smiles. Slow push-in, shallow depth of field.
- 02 · Product
PromptA white leather sneaker on a pale grey studio backdrop, soft diffused light. The camera orbits slowly. Stitching stays sharp, the look stays minimal.
- 03 · Street
PromptA slow dolly down a cobblestone lane in an old European village. Climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people walking in the distance.
- 04 · Character
PromptA young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, late-afternoon gold light. She turns her head and looks off. Breeze in her hair, a handheld feel.
03 — Where it fits
Jobs native 1080p 1.5 is selling
xAI docs point at a 15-second 1080p generate, a 14-reference take, or a lip-synced voice. They do not sell the 8.7-second edit on this SKU.
A 1–15 second native 1080p generate
Text or a still. This page does not open it.
A shot from up to 14 refs and 3 voices
Refs listed at 720p. That run stays inside Video 1.5.
First, last and up to four mid-video frames
Pin the path, then fill the motion. Not the older SKU’s edit pass.

05 — Side by side
Grok Imagine Video 1.5, Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0
This column is grok-imagine-video-1.5. Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0 numbers below are from those vendors’ public docs. The 720p edit/extend SKU is a different xAI model.
06 — How it works
Start a clip on ImgToVid
Step 1
Describe one shot
Subject, action, camera. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 will not be the model that runs it.
Step 2
Use the generator on this page
It runs Seedance 2.5, because Grok video is not offered here. The prompt and the settings carry into Create.
Step 3
Generate in Create
Membership and credits are checked there. Coming back to this page does not switch the model over to Grok Imagine Video 1.5.
07 — FAQ
Grok Imagine Video 1.5, in plain terms
What is Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
It is xAI’s grok-imagine-video-1.5 SKU: 1–15 second clips, native 1080p from text or a still, lip-synced speech, up to 14 reference images and pinned frames. The Grok Imagine video page is the older 720p edit/extend SKU. Grok Imagine Image 1.5 is a still product. ImgToVid does not host Grok video.
How long is a Grok Imagine Video 1.5 clip?
Docs: 1–15 seconds, including reference-to-video. The generate guide defaults to 8 seconds. Those are xAI pickers, not every take on this site.
Is this the same as Grok Imagine?
No. The Grok Imagine video page follows grok-imagine-video: 720p, generated audio, edit up to 8.7s, extend +2–10s. This page is 1.5: native 1080p and lip-sync. Neither runs on ImgToVid.
Does Video 1.5 generate audio?
Yes — native audio with lip-synced speech, plus up to three voice references. That is 1.5 sound inside xAI, not a Grok one-shot soundtrack on ImgToVid.
Can I generate Grok Imagine Video 1.5 on ImgToVid?
No. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5 so you can draft a shot. Grok video is marked coming soon.
Can I use the results commercially?
Commercial use of anything you generate on ImgToVid depends on your plan. Check Pricing and our Terms before you publish, and make sure prompts and uploads do not infringe someone else’s rights.
