Why Generate with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
The lightest tier of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family: budget-priced, audio-native, and private by default on Venice.
- The Lite Tier of the 1.5 FamilyxAI places it as the entry point of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 line — a lower-cost option sitting beneath the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5, and it has been running on Venice since September 30, 2026.
- Two Variants, One ModelIt ships as grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video and grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video, so you can describe a shot from scratch or animate an uploaded still, permissionlessly through the app or the Venice API.
- Private Tier, Zero RetentionVenice serves it through the private tier, where nothing is kept: your written prompts and uploaded stills are never archived, never profiled, and never routed into a training set, and no generation log is attached to who you are.
How to Run Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Three steps take you from an idea to a sound-complete clip with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Venice.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite Features
Native audio, a full 480p-to-1080p ladder with per-second duration control, and zero-retention privacy on Venice.
Native Synchronized Audio
Ambience, effects and spoken lines arrive together with the picture in a single generation, timed to the action on screen — so you never have to build a separate sound pass.
480p/720p/1080p with 1s–15s Control
Three resolutions and any duration from 1 to 15 seconds in one-second increments on both variants — unusual granularity at the Lite price point.
Single-Still Image-to-Video
Animate an existing product shot, portrait or illustration up to 1080p and 15 seconds, controlled by describing the motion rather than re-describing the image.
Better Motion Coherence
Per xAI's own release notes, the 1.5 generation shows fewer warps and more believable weight and momentum across a clip than its predecessor.
REST API Access
Venice exposes the model through its REST API, so you can queue a generation with the model id and the inputs it needs straight from your own code.
Zero-Retention Private Tier
Prompts and source images are not stored, profiled or used for training, and nothing is tied to a personal generation history — unlike xAI's own account-linked libraries.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite — FAQ
Common questions about running Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite privately on Venice.
What exactly is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite?
It is xAI's lightest tier of the Grok Imagine Video 1.5 family, available on Venice since September 30, 2026 in text-to-video and image-to-video variants at 480p, 720p or 1080p, 1 to 15 seconds, with native audio.
What does a clip cost and do I need a subscription?
You pay per clip and the price scales by resolution and duration: $0.04 for a 480p 1s clip, $0.05 for 720p 1s and $0.18 for 1080p 1s, up to 15 seconds. No subscription is required, and new Venice accounts include a free daily allowance plus 500 welcome credits.
Is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite open source or self-hostable?
No — it is proprietary to xAI with no published weights, so it cannot be self-hosted or fine-tuned. On Venice you can try it with welcome credits before paying per clip, and Wan 2.7 Enhanced is the closest open alternative with native audio if open weights matter.
Can I animate a still image with it?
Yes — the grok-imagine-1-5-lite-image-to-video variant animates a still into motion at 480p/720p/1080p for 1–15 seconds with audio, while the separate grok-imagine-1-5-lite-text-to-video variant generates a clip from a written prompt alone.
How does Lite differ from the flagship Grok Imagine 1.5?
Both run privately on Venice with 1080p, 15-second clips and native audio, but the flagship adds multi-reference control of up to seven image references plus voice references for holding a character's face and voice across scenes. Lite takes a single still or a prompt.
How is my privacy handled when I generate?
Generation happens on the private tier, which keeps nothing: prompts and reference stills are neither archived nor profiled nor reused for training, and no history is attached to your identity — matching Venice's encrypted-in-browser, decentralized design.
