Grok Imagine 1.5AI video generator
Stylised and quick, up to 15 s. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.
Grok Imagine 1.5 is xAI's video model. It is known for fast, stylised clips, image-to-video that stays close to a still, and native audio generated with the picture. xAI made Imagine Video 1.5 generally available in June 2026, then added text-to-video and reference images in July. On Elyum you use it as text to video, image to video, and reference to video, in clips from 1 to 15 seconds.
Use it for short social clips, stills you want to animate, and reference-locked product or character shots. One credit balance across 50+ models, from a Free plan with 150 starter credits up to Ultra, plus top-ups. Also runs from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Why Grok Imagine 1.5 is good
Grok Imagine 1.5 is known for short, stylised clips that come back fast. That is the usual pick when you want motion and a look, not a long photoreal render.
Sound effects, ambience, and dialogue generate in the same pass as the picture. xAI's Video 1.5 update focused on clearer speech that lands on the action.
xAI's June 2026 Video 1.5 release targeted fewer warps and more believable weight and momentum over a clip. Image-to-video holds lighting and detail from the source still.
On Elyum the three routes are text to video, image to video, and reference to video. Clips run 1–15 seconds, with three aspect ratios.
Reference-to-video guides the shot with stills so a face, product, or location can hold while the action changes. xAI added this in a July 2026 Imagine Video 1.5 update.
Credits charge only when you keep a take. Kill the rest and they refund in full. Kept downloads are clean, full quality, and watermark-free.
