Meet the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Tier on Venice
The most affordable option in xAI's video family — Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite keeps every render inexpensive while sound, privacy and speed stay fully intact.
- The Entry Point to the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 LineupLaunched on Venice on September 30, 2026 as xAI's value option, this tier spans 480p through 1080p, runs 1 to 15 seconds, and carries sound from the very first render.
- Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video, Both IncludedTwo workflows are covered: write a prompt to build a scene from nothing, or supply a still to set it in motion — each reachable without gatekeeping through the web app or the Venice API.
- Runs Privately, Retains NothingVenice files the model under its private tier: prompts and uploaded stills are never stored, profiled or used for training, no output log is tied to you, and you settle per render instead of holding a SuperGrok plan.
Getting Started with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Three short moves carry you from a written idea or one source photo to a finished, sound-complete clip on Venice.
Core Features of Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Sound that arrives with the picture, a complete resolution range, one-second duration steps and no-retention processing — the practical strengths Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite puts in your hands.
Sound Generated Alongside the Picture
Ambience, effects and dialogue are produced in the same render as the visuals and stay locked to the beat, so there is no separate audio pass and no syncing by hand.
Resolution Range with One-Second Precision
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and pair it with any length between 1 and 15 seconds, adjustable second by second — fine control that is rare at this price.
The Lowest-Cost Door Into the 1.5 Lineup
Renders begin at four cents apiece on Venice, which keeps test runs and short social cuts cheap while the bill still tracks the resolution and length you pick.
More Believable Motion and Weight
xAI's release notes report fewer distortions and more convincing mass and momentum throughout a shot than the earlier generation managed.
Prompts That Understand Camera Language
Directions such as push-in, pan, handheld or crane are interpreted directly, and prompts can run as long as 4,096 characters when you lead with the subject and the action.
Private Processing with Nothing Retained
Your text and source photos are never stored, analyzed or repurposed for training, and no render history is tied back to you — unlike xAI's own apps, which archive everything in a library.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite FAQ
Answers on cost per render, built-in sound, animating stills and private processing on Venice.
How much does a single clip cost at each resolution?
Pricing is per render and rises with resolution and length: four cents for a 480p one-second clip, five cents at 720p and eighteen cents at 1080p for one second, scaling up to 15 seconds. No subscription is needed, and new Venice accounts include a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Does the model produce audio, and how do I steer it?
Yes — sound is generated as part of the render instead of being layered on afterwards, so effects, ambience and dialogue land in time, and speech is clearer and better timed than in the earlier generation. Simply write the sounds you want into your prompt.
Can I bring an existing photo to life?
Absolutely — that is what the image-to-video variant does: a still becomes motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1 to 15 seconds, with audio. A companion text-to-video variant instead builds the whole clip from your written prompt alone.
What separates the Lite tier from the flagship Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
Both run privately on Venice and deliver 1080p, 15-second clips with native audio. Lite is the lower-cost option built for volume work and early drafts; 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.
Can I self-host or fine-tune it, and is it open source?
It remains proprietary to xAI with no published weights, so self-hosting, fine-tuning and auditing are not possible. You can test it on Venice using welcome credits before paying per clip; Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option that also supports native audio.
What happens to my prompts and uploaded images on Venice?
Everything you submit is treated as private-tier material: prompts and stills are not kept on the servers, not profiled, and never routed into a training pipeline. No generation history is linked back to you, while xAI's first-party apps file your outputs into an account-based library.
Create Privately with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Your words are never recorded and your uploads never train a model — open a Venice account, claim 500 welcome credits and produce your first sound-complete clip before spending a cent.
