Text and reference image video generation
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generator
Build a short shot from a written scene or animate an existing image. Set the action, camera move, framing, duration, and resolution before generating, then review the result in the browser.

What Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is for
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is best treated as a single-shot tool. It can turn a scene description into a clip or add motion to a supplied frame. The useful controls are concrete: who moves, what stays still, how the camera travels, where the action ends, and how long the shot lasts.
Controls that matter in a real workflow
Good results start with a shot plan, not a list of style words.
Text or reference input
Start from a written scene, or upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP references when the opening frame already contains the subject and composition you need.
Directed camera motion
Name one camera move such as a slow push-in, lateral track, locked tripod, tilt, or pull-back. Pair it with a clear end position.
Flexible framing
Use auto, square, landscape, portrait, 3:2, or 2:3. Choose the delivery format before writing blocking and subject position.
Draft-to-final resolution
Test movement and timing at 480p. Move to 720p after the action, framing, and source-image preservation are working.
Three practical ways to use it
Animate a product still
Keep the product geometry stable while adding controlled environmental motion.
- Upload a clean product frame
- Lock shape, label, color, and light direction in the prompt
- Add one camera move and one background action
Plan a cinematic insert
Write one beat that can finish cleanly inside a short clip.
- State the subject and starting position
- Describe the action in chronological order
- End with the final framing or pose
Build a longer sequence
Generate separate shots instead of forcing several scenes into one prompt.
- Break the idea into 3-8 second shots
- Repeat wardrobe, palette, and lens notes
- Join approved clips in an editor
Prompt templates you can adapt
Replace the bracketed details. Keep the action readable and give each shot one dominant camera instruction.
Reference-preserving product move
16:9Use the uploaded image as the opening frame. Keep the [product] shape, label, materials, colors, and light direction unchanged. The camera makes a slow 15-degree orbit to the right while [background element] moves gently. End on a clean three-quarter product view. No extra objects or text.
Portrait motion
9:16A close portrait of [subject] in [setting]. The subject turns toward the window, pauses, then looks back to camera. Hair and clothing move slightly in the breeze. Locked camera, shallow depth of field, stable facial features, continuous natural motion.
Atmospheric establishing shot
3:2Wide establishing shot of [place] at [time]. A slow forward tracking move follows [subject] toward [landmark]. Foreground elements pass close to lens, distant movement remains subtle, and the shot ends with the landmark centered. One continuous take.
How to write a controllable video prompt
Write in shot order
Use starting frame, action, camera, environmental motion, and ending frame. Chronology is easier to evaluate than a paragraph of visual adjectives.
Limit competing motion
One subject action and one camera move are usually enough for a short clip. Too many independent actions make timing ambiguous.
Protect the source image
For reference work, list the identity, geometry, text, colors, camera angle, and lighting that must not change.
Test short and small first
Use a short 480p draft to check motion. Extend the duration or switch to 720p only after the shot direction works.

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 questions
Can I generate from both text and an image?
Yes. Text mode creates a scene from your prompt. Image mode sends uploaded reference URLs with the prompt so the source frame can guide the result.
How long can a clip be?
You can choose any whole-second duration from 1 to 15 seconds.
Which aspect ratios are supported?
The generator supports auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, and 2:3. When one reference image is used, the upstream API may follow the source image ratio.
How many credits does a video use?
480p costs 3 credits per second and 720p costs 5 credits per second. For example, an 8-second clip costs 24 credits at 480p or 40 credits at 720p.
How can I keep a face or product consistent?
Name every detail that must remain unchanged, then request a narrow action. Include identity, shape, printed text, light direction, camera angle, and color when they matter.
