FAQs

What is Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI's image-to-video model, shipped as a preview on May 30, 2026. It animates a still image (or a text prompt) into a clip with native synchronized audio, including music, sound effects, and lip-synced dialogue, and supports video extension and reference-guided generation.
Does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generate audio?
Yes. Audio generates natively with the video and stays in sync with the motion. A single generation can include background music, sound effects, and lip-synced dialogue, so you do not need a separate audio pass after the clip is rendered.
How do I use Grok Imagine Video 1.5 on Morphic?
Open Morphic, switch the prompt bar to Video mode, and pick Grok Imagine Video 1.5 from the model picker. Attach a starting image, describe the motion and any dialogue or sound you want, then run the prompt. To revise, ask in the next message.
What inputs does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 accept?
It accepts an image plus a text prompt for image-to-video, or a text prompt on its own for text-to-video. You can also pass reference images to steer style, character, and composition, and continue a clip from its last frame with video extension.
How long are Grok Imagine Video 1.5 clips?
Clip length is configurable up to 15 seconds. For longer sequences, use video extension to continue from the last frame of a clip and chain shots together from a single starting image.
What resolution does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 output?
You can generate at 480p or 720p at 24 frames per second, with a configurable aspect ratio for landscape, square, or vertical delivery. Pick the resolution per generation to suit the platform you are publishing to.
What changed from Grok Imagine 1.0 to 1.5?
The 1.5 release focuses on audio, consistency, and overall quality, with stronger prompt following for complex multi-element scenes and faster, more stable generation. Native synchronized audio and video extension are the headline additions over the earlier model.
How does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 compare to Seedance 2.0?
Both are video models with native audio. Seedance 2.0 takes up to 12 mixed assets per generation with music beat sync at 1080p and 4 to 15 seconds. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 centers on image-to-video with lip-synced dialogue and sound effects, video extension, and reference-guided control, at 480p or 720p up to 15 seconds.
How is this different from the Grok Imagine model on Morphic?
The original Grok Imagine is xAI's cross-modal model spanning text-to-image, image edits, and several video paths. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is the dedicated video release, tuned for image-to-video with native synchronized audio, lip-synced dialogue, and video extension.
