Always on — Grok Imagine Video 1.5 generates dialogue, ambience, and score in the same pass as the video.
Turn on audio to hear the native sound generation. Each clip below started from a single image and was generated in one pass with no post-production.
"(0-5s) Medium shot, she speaks warmly while gesturing to a product. (5-10s) Slow push-in to a close-up, glowing skin and expressive eyes. (10-15s) Cut to an over-shoulder framing of the vanity as she smiles. Glossy, warm, cinematic."
"Brightly colored athletic running shoe resting on mossy ground, red to yellow gradient upper with grid pattern, thick sculpted neon green foam sole, red laces, wavy yellow eyestay overlay, surrounded by green moss and small ferns, blurred tree branches and bright blue sky background, extreme low angle close-up, vibrant product photography, sharp natural sunlight and doing a slow spin"
"Camera tracks forward over the fjord as mist begins to drift between the mountains and the water ripples. A small red boat starts moving across the frame. Orchestral strings swell as the shot rises"
"The character turns toward the camera and looks up, and behind him rain starts to fall. Crisp rainfall and fishing town ambience"
Photo animation usually means motion with no voice: a smile that moves, a wave, a glance. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 goes further — it animates the still and writes the soundscape in the same pass. Dialogue, ambience, and score arrive baked into the MP4 alongside natural subject motion and camera moves. One still in, one sounding clip out.
Native audio, identity-locked motion, and three durations that ship — the upgrades your photo gets when it becomes a clip.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 produces dialogue, ambient sound, and score in the same pass as the video. The MP4 you download already has synced audio — toggle it off only when you want a silent cut for further editing.
Drop in a single still and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 animates it with natural subject motion, environmental detail, and camera moves. The face, pose, and composition you uploaded remain the identity lock for the entire clip.
Three durations, no 1-second granularity you will never use. Short 5s hooks for social, 10s product beats, 15s establishing shots — match the cut to the channel.
Iterate cheaply at 480p, switch to 720p for the version you ship. Eight aspect ratios (auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3) cover landscape, portrait, square, and vertical-social crops.
Describe the camera move, action, and mood in plain language. Timed beats, dialogue cues, and genre cues let you steer motion and sound together — from slow push-ins to dialogue-driven cuts.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 favors real skin texture, practical imperfections, and photographed motion over the plastic 'AI aesthetic'. The look holds up next to a real photo — which is exactly what photo animation needs.
Three steps from a single still to a sounding, downloadable MP4.
Choose a single still — a portrait, a product shot, a landscape, a family photo. JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 20MB. The photo is the identity and composition lock for the clip.
Pick 5s, 10s, or 15s, choose 480p or 720p, set the aspect ratio, decide whether native audio is on. Then write the motion, camera move, and mood you want.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 renders video and native audio in one pass. Preview, iterate on the prompt, and download the MP4 that ships — no separate sound-design step.
