Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Grok Video 1.5
What is Grok Imagine 1.5 Video?
Grok Imagine 1.5 Video (grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview) is xAI's advanced image-to-video generation model. It turns a single still starting frame into a high-fidelity cinematic video clip using natural-language motion prompts.
What are the key capabilities of this model?
The model excels at maintaining high fidelity to your input image (lighting, details, style) while simulating realistic physics, camera movements, and atmospheric effects.
How does the pricing and credit system work?
Grok Imagine 1.5 uses a credits system. Each generation consumes credits depending on the duration you select (e.g. 10s or 15s). New accounts receive starting credits to try the service.
Does the model support text-to-video?
Currently, Grok Imagine 1.5 is optimized as an image-to-video generator model. It requires an initial starting image frame combined with a text prompt that guides the motion.
What aspect ratios are supported?
It supports standard aspect ratios like 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 2:3, and 3:2, letting you generate video clips suitable for YouTube, TikTok, or social media.
Can I use the generated videos for commercial projects?
Yes, all videos you generate and download can be used for personal or commercial projects. The output is clean and free of watermarks.
What video resolution does Grok Imagine 1.5 produce?
Grok Imagine 1.5 supports generating video clips at up to 720p resolution, optimized to deliver high visual fidelity and smooth frame pacing.
How does Grok Video 1.5 handle physics?
It runs advanced simulation logic for physical interactions like gravity, wind blowing through hair, cloth movement, and fluid dynamics, making the scene animation highly realistic.
How do I control the camera moves?
You can direct the camera by simply writing description cues in your prompt, such as 'slow cinematic zoom-in', 'pan left', or 'dramatic aerial sweep'.
Can I edit or chain generated video clips?
Yes! Because the model is highly faithful to starting frames, you can export the last frame of a generated clip, upload it as the starting frame for the next one, and chain them for seamless sequences.
