One model. Picture and sound together.
Why Grok Imagine Video 1.5 leads AI video
Sound, ambience and dialogue in one pass
xAI says Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generates sound effects, ambience and dialogue in the same pass as the picture. On ImagineArt, audio is on by default, so a clip arrives with its soundtrack instead of needing a separate sound pass.
A street musician plays saxophone under a bridge at night, rain dripping from the arch above. Passing footsteps echo on wet stone, and a passerby says "beautiful" as she drops a coin into the case.

Vertical clips for social feeds
A social media creator using a Grok AI video generator can make 9:16 clips with sound already attached, so a short is ready for the feed without hunting for stock audio or syncing effects by hand in an editor.
Prompts to try first
Twelve prompts written for Grok Imagine Video 1.5, each with a sound cue so the native audio has something to do. Copy one and swap in your own scene.

- What is Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
- Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI's video generation model, made generally available on June 16, 2026, after a preview that Artificial Analysis dates to May 2026. It generates video with sound effects, ambience and dialogue in the same pass. ImagineArt lists it as xAI Grok 1.5, and it's a video model, separate from xAI's Grok chat assistant.
- How fast is Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
- xAI says the Fast variant in its own apps produces a 6-second, 720p video in about 25 seconds, down from more than 40 seconds on its previous model. That's xAI's figure for its own apps, not a measurement of ImagineArt's tool.
- What changed from earlier Grok Imagine video models?
- xAI describes Grok Imagine 1.5 as better motion, better physics and better audio, at the fastest speeds. Its January 2026 Grok Imagine video model already made 8-second, 720p clips with audio. On ImagineArt, 1.5 runs from 5 to 15 seconds, at 480p or 720p.
- Can I turn a photo into a video with Grok Imagine Video 1.5?
- Yes. On ImagineArt it supports both text-to-video and image-to-video, so you can upload a still, describe the motion and sound, and animate it. On ImagineArt, Grok image to video works for product shots, travel photos and key art, in seven aspect ratios from 9:16 to 16:9.
- Is Grok Imagine free on ImagineArt?
- No. On ImagineArt, a subscription is required for all AI video generation models, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 included. The free plan's 100 daily credits cover a limited set of models, such as ImagineArt 1.0 Lite and Flux Dev. Plans and credit options are on the pricing page.
- How does Grok Imagine Video 1.5 rank against other video models?
- Launch coverage in June 2026 reported it at #1 on the Image-to-Video Arena, but rankings move. On Arena's image-to-video leaderboard dated September 21, 2026, it was #8, and Artificial Analysis had it #9 for image-to-video when we checked on October 12, 2026. xAI pitches it on motion, physics and sound made in the same pass.
