What Makes Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Different
Built as the entry point of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line — low-cost, sound-native, and served through a zero-retention tier on Venice.
- The Entry Point of the 1.5 LineSitting below the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5, this is the most affordable way into the family — it went live on Venice on September 30, 2026.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-VideoTwo model ids ship under one name, grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video, so you can write a scene from nothing or set an existing photo in motion — through the app or the Venice API.
- Nothing Kept, Nothing ProfiledIt runs on Venice's private tier, which stores nothing: prompts and uploaded stills are never archived, never profiled and never added to a training set, and no generation record is linked back to you.
How Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Works
Three quick steps separate a rough idea from a finished, sound-included video on Venice.
What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Can Do
Sound generated in the same pass, a 480p-to-1080p ladder with one-second length steps, and privacy that leaves no trace on Venice.
Audio Born with the Picture
Ambience, effects and spoken lines land in sync with the visuals from a single generation, timed to what happens on screen — so no separate sound pass is ever needed.
Three Resolutions, One-Second Steps
Both variants output 480p, 720p or 1080p at any length between 1 and 15 seconds, adjustable second by second — rare control at this price point.
Animate a Single Still
Take an existing product photo, portrait or illustration up to 1080p and 15 seconds by describing how it should move, rather than re-describing what it already shows.
Steadier, More Believable Motion
Per xAI's release notes, the 1.5 generation shows fewer warping artifacts and more convincing weight and momentum across a clip than the version before it.
Call It from Your Own Code
Venice publishes the model over a REST API, so you can queue a render straight from your application using the model id plus the inputs it accepts.
A Tier That Keeps Nothing
Prompts and source images are never stored, profiled or reused for training, and nothing attaches to a personal generation history — unlike account-linked libraries elsewhere.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Questions Answered
What people ask most about pricing, variants, privacy and limits when running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite.
So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite?
It is the most affordable tier in xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family, offered on Venice since September 30, 2026 in text-to-video and image-to-video forms, at 480p, 720p or 1080p, for 1 to 15 seconds, with sound generated natively.
How much does each clip cost, and is a subscription needed?
Pricing follows resolution and length and is charged per render: $0.04 for a 480p second, $0.05 for 720p and $0.18 for 1080p, up to 15 seconds. No subscription is required, and new Venice accounts include a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Can I self-host it or fine-tune it?
No. The weights are not published and the model belongs to xAI, so self-hosting and fine-tuning are off the table. You can test it on Venice with welcome credits before paying per render; if open weights matter to you, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open alternative with native audio.
Does it work from a photo as well as text?
Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video variant sets a still in motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds with audio, while the separate grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video variant builds a clip from a written prompt on its own.
What separates Lite from the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5?
Both run privately on Venice at 1080p for up to 15 seconds with native audio. The flagship adds multi-reference control — up to seven image references plus voice references so a character's face and voice stay consistent across scenes. Lite works from one still or a prompt.
What happens to my prompts and images?
Everything runs on the private tier, which retains nothing: prompts and reference stills are not archived, not profiled and not reused for training, and no history is linked to your identity — consistent with Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized design.
Make Your First Private Clip with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Your prompts stay yours: nothing is logged and nothing trains a model. Open the text-to-video or image-to-video variant on Venice, claim the free daily allowance and 500 welcome credits, and start rendering — no card needed.
