What Makes Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Different

An entry-level member of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line that pairs low per-render pricing with built-in sound and Venice's no-log private tier.

  • Entry Point to the 1.5 Line
    xAI slots this model below the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5 as the most economical way into the family, and it has been live on Venice since September 30, 2026.
  • One Model, Two Modes
    It ships as grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video — write a shot from nothing, or bring a still to life — with open access through the app or the Venice API.
  • Nothing Stored, Nothing Trained
    Served through Venice's private tier, it retains no prompts or uploads: your text and stills are never archived, profiled or folded into a training set, and no generation log is tied to who you are.

Running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Three Simple Steps

Pick a mode, script the sound and motion, then upgrade your best draft — that is the whole workflow for Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.

What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Brings to the Table

Sound generated with the picture, three resolutions with one-second length control, and a no-retention private tier — the essentials, minus the flagship price.

Sound Baked Into the Render

Dialogue, ambience and effects land in the same pass as the visuals and stay locked to the on-screen action, so there is no separate audio stage to run afterwards.

Three Resolutions, One-Second Steps

Both variants let you dial any length between 1 and 15 seconds in single-second increments and output at 480p, 720p or 1080p — granular control that is rare at this price.

Animate Just One Photo

Take an existing product photo, portrait or illustration and set it moving at up to 1080p for 15 seconds — describe the motion you want instead of re-describing what is already in frame.

Steadier Motion, Fewer Warps

xAI's own release notes report less distortion and more convincing weight and momentum through a clip on the 1.5 generation than on the model it replaces.

Build It Into Your Stack

Because Venice serves the model over a REST API, your own code can queue a render by passing the model id plus the prompt, image and duration it needs.

Prompts That Are Never Kept

Your text and source images are not stored, profiled or reused for training, and no generation history is tied to you — a contrast with account-linked libraries elsewhere.

FAQ

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Common Questions

Answers on pricing, privacy, resolution limits and how the Lite tier of Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite compares with the flagship model.

1

So what is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite, exactly?

It is the most affordable member of xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family. On Venice — live since September 30, 2026 — it comes in text-to-video and image-to-video versions, outputs 480p, 720p or 1080p, runs 1 to 15 seconds, and carries native audio.

2

How much does one render cost, and is a subscription needed?

Billing is per render and scales with resolution and length: a one-second 480p take is about four cents, 720p about five, and 1080p about eighteen, with longer clips costing proportionally more up to 15 seconds. Nothing is subscription-based, and new Venice accounts receive 500 welcome credits plus a free daily allowance.

3

Can I self-host it or fine-tune it?

Neither. The weights are xAI's proprietary property and have not been published, so there is no self-hosting or fine-tuning path. You can test Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice using welcome credits before paying per render; if open weights are a hard requirement, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.

4

Does it work with a single uploaded photo?

Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video variant brings one still to life at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds with sound, while the separate text-to-video variant builds a clip from written description alone.

5

What separates Lite from the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5?

Both render privately on Venice at 1080p for up to 15 seconds with native audio. The flagship goes further, accepting up to seven image references plus voice references so a character's face and voice stay consistent across scenes; Lite works from a single still or a prompt.

6

What happens to my prompts and uploads?

They stay unretained. Rendering runs on the private tier, where prompts and reference images are not archived, profiled or used for training, and no history is attached to who you are — consistent with Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized architecture.

Generate Privately with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite

Your prompts stay unlogged and your uploads never feed a training set. Open the text-to-video or image-to-video mode of Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice and start free — 500 welcome credits and a daily allowance, no card needed.
