Turn a written scene or one starting image into a short video with native audio. Choose 4–15 seconds, review the credit estimate and develop your next shot.

Create short videos with Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite creates short videos from a written scene or one starting image, with native audio generation. Explore product motion, social clips and storyboard ideas using 4–15 seconds and a choice of 480p, 720p or upscaled 1080p.

Plan, generate and refine your shot
Prepare a focused brief, choose the output settings and review motion, sound and detail.
Core Features Overview
Turn a written scene into motion
Sketch one shot by naming the subject, setting, action and camera movement. For example, try a slow orbit around a ceramic product in side light. A single action makes the result easier to review before assembling a longer edit. Text-to-video does not need a starting image. On GPT Image 2.5 this model uses EvoLink. Prompts are limited to 2,000 cl100k tokens.
Animate one starting image
Choose one clear JPG, PNG or WEBP image up to 10 MB and describe the motion you want. Compose the starting frame with space for that movement: its shape determines the output ratio. Compare faces, labels and fine edges against the source because animation can alter them.
Choose the shot length and framing
Set a whole-number duration between 4 and 15 seconds. Four seconds suits a focused action; longer movement may need more time. Text mode offers auto, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2 and 2:3. For image mode, crop the source to your intended frame first.
Compare 480p, 720p and 1080p
Use 480p to test the shot, or choose 720p or 1080p for a larger display. The 1080p option upscales a 720p source rather than rendering natively at 1080p. Higher settings cost more and cannot correct inconsistent motion, faces or lettering, so review the downloaded file at its intended size.
Describe sound alongside the scene
Native audio is generated with the clip. Describe useful ambience or a simple cue, such as a cup on a wooden table. This workspace offers neither an audio upload nor a sound switch. Listen for speech, timing, music and unwanted noise; exact dialogue and synchronization are not guaranteed.
Check the estimate before generating
Sign in, review your balance and check the estimate before submitting. Text-only 480p costs 10 credits for four seconds or 20 for eight; four seconds at 720p costs 15 and at 1080p costs 70. Adding a starting image makes four seconds at 480p 12 credits. Duration and resolution affect the total.
Develop a usable creative draft
Explore a product movement, a storyboard establishing shot or a vertical social clip. Keep the brief consistent while changing one major setting to make versions easier to compare. Add exact logos and titles in an editor after choosing a result, and confirm rights to people and materials before publication.
Review the clip and download it
Watch the whole result for changes in identity, objects, motion or text, and listen to the audio. Compare the opening frame with your input, download from the result and open the saved file. Timing varies; publishing and commercial use depend on your input rights and the applicable model and service terms.

User reviews
"For a ceramic product shot, I would start with a slow orbit and check the silhouette throughout the clip. A short draft helps me decide whether the camera movement suits the idea."

"When animating a portrait, I keep the movement subtle and compare the face with my starting image. I would use only a photo I have permission to work with."

"A handmade object under changing light gives me a simple detail study. I would inspect small patterns rather than assuming the texture stays exact."
