Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Examples
Turn on audio to hear the native sound generation. Each clip below started from a single image and was generated in one pass with synchronized audio.
UGC product spot with timed beats and synced dialogue
"(0-5s) Medium shot, she speaks warmly while gesturing to a product. (5-10s) Slow push-in to a close-up, glowing skin and expressive eyes. (10-15s) Cut to an over-shoulder framing of the vanity as she smiles. Glossy, warm, cinematic."
Product hero shot with a slow spin
"Brightly colored athletic running shoe resting on mossy ground, red to yellow gradient upper with grid pattern, thick sculpted neon green foam sole, red laces, wavy yellow eyestay overlay, surrounded by green moss and small ferns, blurred tree branches and bright blue sky background, extreme low angle close-up, vibrant product photography, sharp natural sunlight and doing a slow spin"
Landscape still animated with an orchestral score
"Camera tracks forward over the fjord as mist begins to drift between the mountains and the water ripples. A small red boat starts moving across the frame. Orchestral strings swell as the shot rises"
Cinematic scene with motion and ambient audio
"The character turns toward the camera and looks up, and behind him rain starts to fall. Crisp rainfall and fishing town ambience"

What is Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI's image-to-video model. It takes a reference image and a text prompt, then generates cinematic video that brings the image to life with motion and native audio — dialogue, ambient sound, and effects, all synchronized in a single generation pass.
How does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 work?
You provide a starting image and a text prompt describing the motion, camera direction, and audio you want. The model expands the image into a full scene with coherent motion, realistic physics, and fine detail while preserving the subject's identity and staying visually consistent with your source frame.
What makes Grok Imagine Video 1.5 different?
It pairs strong image-to-video quality with native audio generation, so a single pass produces video and synchronized sound together. Compared to the previous model, 1.5 improves motion, physics, and audio clarity, and nearly doubles generation speed.
Can I control the camera motion?
Yes. Use your text prompt to describe camera direction — push-in, pan, orbit, slow spin, or tracking shots. The model follows natural language camera instructions to create dynamic, cinematic movement.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 runs entirely in your browser. Just upload an image, describe the motion you want, and download the generated video — no GPU, no software installation, no setup required.
What resolutions and durations does it support?
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generates image-to-video at 480p and 720p. Clips can run 5, 10, or 15 seconds, with audio generated natively alongside the video.
Does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generate audio?
Yes. Audio is generated natively alongside the video in the same pass, so it stays in sync without post-production. It produces natural dialogue with accurate lip-sync, contextually appropriate ambient sound, and well-timed sound effects.
What aspect ratios are supported?
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 supports auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3 aspect ratios. The auto option follows the dimensions of your input image.
Is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 better than the previous version?
Yes. Version 1.5 improves across every dimension: better motion that holds together over longer clips, more believable physics and weight, clearer and better-synced speech, and nearly double the generation speed compared to the previous model.
How much does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 cost?
Pricing is pay-per-use with no minimums or subscriptions. Video is priced per second based on resolution, plus a flat fee per input image. Credits are deducted based on duration and resolution at the time of generation.
How long does generation take?
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Fast produces 6-second 720p videos in about 25 seconds. Longer durations and higher resolutions take proportionally more time. You'll see a progress indicator while your video is being generated.
Can I use the generated videos commercially?
Yes. Content generated through Grok Imagine Video 1.5 can be used in commercial projects. Always review the applicable terms of service for full details on usage rights and licensing.
What kind of images work best?
Clear, well-lit images with a strong subject produce the best results. Portraits, product shots, landscapes, and concept art all animate well. The model preserves the look of your source frame and follows your prompt for motion and camera direction.
