What Makes Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Worth Trying

A stripped-down, low-cost member of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line that ships with built-in sound and keeps every render anonymous on Venice.

  • The Entry Point of the 1.5 Line
    xAI built it as the cheapest doorway into the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family — it sits below the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5 and has been live on Venice since September 30, 2026.
  • Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video Under One Name
    Two endpoints carry it — grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video — letting you either write a scene from nothing or bring an existing photo to life, through the app or the Venice API.
  • Runs on the Private Tier, Stores Nothing
    Requests land on Venice's private tier, which retains nothing: prompts and source images are not archived, not profiled and never fed into a training corpus, and no log links a render back to you.

Running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite in Three Steps

Go from a rough idea to a finished, sound-included clip with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice in three short moves.

What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Brings to the Table

Sound generated in the same pass, resolution and clip length adjustable down to the second, and a Venice deployment that keeps no records.

Sound Built In, Not Bolted On

Every render returns picture and sound together — ambience, effects and dialogue land in sync with the on-screen action, which removes the extra audio pass entirely.

Three Resolutions, One-Second Length Steps

Both variants accept any clip length between 1 and 15 seconds, adjustable second by second, across 480p, 720p and 1080p — rare control at this price.

Animate One Still Image

Feed in a product photo, portrait or illustration and describe the movement you want; the tool handles motion up to 1080p across 15 seconds without you re-describing the picture.

Steadier Motion, Fewer Warps

xAI's release notes for the 1.5 generation point to less warping and more convincing weight and momentum across a full clip compared with the earlier version.

Plug In Through the REST API

Because Venice publishes the model behind a REST API, your own scripts can queue renders by passing the model id and the inputs it requires.

Nothing Kept, Nothing Tied to You

Prompts and uploaded stills are not stored, profiled or trained on, and no personal render history is built — a contrast with the account-linked libraries xAI runs itself.

FAQ

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Questions Answered

Straight answers about pricing, variants, privacy and limits when you use Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.

1

So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite exactly?

It is the entry tier of xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family, served on Venice since September 30, 2026. Two variants exist — text-to-video and image-to-video — each producing 1 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p with sound included.

2

How much does one clip cost, and is a subscription required?

Pricing is per render and rises with resolution and length: $0.04 for a second of 480p, $0.05 for 720p and $0.18 for 1080p, with a 15-second ceiling. No subscription is involved, and a fresh Venice account starts with a daily free allowance plus 500 welcome credits.

3

Can I self-host it or get the model weights?

No. The model belongs to xAI and no weights have been published, so self-hosting or fine-tuning is not possible. You can test it on Venice using welcome credits before paying per render; if open weights are essential, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.

4

Does it work with a single still image?

Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video variant turns a photo into motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds with audio, while grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video builds a clip purely from written text.

5

What separates Lite from the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5?

Both are private on Venice, both reach 1080p and 15 seconds, and both carry native audio. The flagship goes further with up to seven image references plus voice references, holding a character's face and voice steady across scenes; Lite works from one still or a prompt.

6

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 approach.

Make Private Clips with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite

Nothing you type gets logged and nothing you upload trains a model. Open the text-to-video or image-to-video variant on Venice and begin with a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits — no card needed.
