Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite: Affordable AI Video, 1080p and Private
The most affordable member of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line, still delivering 1080p picture, native sound and zero-retention rendering on Venice.
- Where It Sits in the 1.5 LineupxAI treats this as the doorway into the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family — a cheaper sibling to the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5 — and it has been serving on Venice since September 30, 2026.
- One Model, Two Entry PointsTwo IDs ship under the same weights: grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video, so you can write a shot from nothing or set an uploaded still in motion, with no permission gate through the app or the Venice API.
- Nothing You Submit Is KeptRendering runs on Venice's private tier, where no copy survives: your prompts and stills are never archived, never profiled and never folded into a training set, and no generation record is bound to your identity.
Turning an Idea into a Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Clip
From blank page to a finished clip with sound in three moves — all handled by Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.
What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Brings to the Table
Audio written alongside the picture, a 480p-to-1080p ladder with second-by-second length control, and zero-retention rendering on Venice.
Sound Generated with the Picture
Ambience, effects and spoken lines land in the same pass as the visuals, aligned to what happens on screen — no separate audio build required.
Three Resolutions, One-Second Steps from 1s to 15s
Both variants accept 480p, 720p or 1080p and any length between 1 and 15 seconds in one-second increments — a level of control rarely seen at this price.
Animate a Single Still
Take an existing product shot, portrait or illustration up to 1080p and 15 seconds by describing the movement you want instead of restating what the image already shows.
Smoother, More Believable Motion
xAI's own release notes report fewer warping artifacts and more convincing weight and momentum across a clip than the previous generation.
REST API Access
Venice publishes the model over its REST API, so you can queue jobs with the model id and required inputs directly from your own codebase.
Zero-Retention Private Rendering
Prompts and source images are neither stored, profiled nor used for training, and nothing links a render back to a personal history — unlike xAI's account-bound libraries.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite privately on Venice.
What exactly is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite?
It is the most affordable member of xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family, live on Venice since September 30, 2026. It comes in text-to-video and image-to-video forms, outputs 480p, 720p or 1080p, runs 1 to 15 seconds and writes its own audio.
What does a clip cost and do I need a subscription?
Pricing is per clip and rises with resolution and length: a 480p one-second render is $0.04, 720p is $0.05 and 1080p is $0.18, scaling from there up to 15 seconds. There is no subscription, and new Venice accounts get a daily free allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite open source or self-hostable?
Neither — the weights are xAI's proprietary property and have never been published, so self-hosting and fine-tuning are off the table. On Venice you can test it with welcome credits before paying per clip; if open weights matter to you, Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the nearest open option with native audio.
Can I animate a still image with it?
Yes. The grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video build sets a still in motion at 480p, 720p or 1080p for 1–15 seconds with sound, while grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video builds a clip from a written prompt with no image input at all.
How does Lite differ 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.
How is my privacy handled when I generate?
Every render runs on the private tier, which retains nothing — prompts and reference stills are not archived, profiled or reused for training, and no history is tied to who you are. That mirrors Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized approach.
Run Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Without Leaving a Trace
Prompts are never logged and nothing you upload trains a model — pick text-to-video or image-to-video on Venice, where new accounts start with a free daily allowance and 500 welcome credits, no credit card needed.
