Generate videos with Grok Imagine Video 1.5
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is the next generation of xAI's video model, and it fills the gaps of the 1.0: a real 1080p tier, audio produced along with the picture, and seven reference images to hold a character, a product or a style from one shot to the next. Clips run from one to fifteen seconds, in 480p, 720p or 1080p, across seven formats from 16:9 to 2:3. With references, duration caps at ten seconds. It does not take over editing of existing video, which stays with the 1.0: it is a generator, not a retoucher. Its cost per second climbs with definition, and 480p remains one of the gentlest in the catalogue for an animated draft with sound.

What changes from the 1.0
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 fills the three gaps of the first Grok video: a real 1080p tier, audio produced along with the picture, and seven reference images to hold a character, a product or a style from one shot to the next. Clips run from one to fifteen seconds, in seven formats from 16:9 to 2:3, at twenty-four frames per second.
It does not take over editing of existing video, which stays with the 1.0: it is a generator, not a retoucher. With references, duration caps at ten seconds, as on its predecessor.
How it is paid
xAI bills per second and per resolution: eight cents in 480p, fourteen in 720p, twenty-five in 1080p, audio included. On Imaginode, each generation is paid with your credits and the exact price appears on the button, for the chosen duration and resolution, before you click; a technical failure is refunded automatically.
480p remains one of the gentlest rates in the catalogue for an animated draft with sound: validate the motion there, then rerun the chosen shot in 1080p.
