xAI Fast image and video remixing
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview
Explore social video ideas from images and clips with a clear preview boundary.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview is an xAI video route in TokenHot's catalog. It accepts text, images and video, returns video and uses a per-second expression with 480p and 720p conditions. Use it for fast short-form generation, image-to-video experiments and trend-led creative drafts where preview status and visual review are explicit.
- Text + image + video
- Video output
- 480p / 720p preview
This is a Preview route. Do not treat preview behavior as a stable production contract; verify parameters, output quality, availability and content policy on every rollout.

Overview
What is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview?
A good preview workflow keeps the creative question small: add motion to a still, remix a short clip or test a social hook. Save the source, prompt, resolution, output status and review note so a fast experiment remains reproducible.
The catalog pricing is per second with a 480p base and a 720p condition. Use the dynamic table, then include reruns, transcoding and editorial time in the cost of an accepted asset.
Give the still one motion job
Describe the camera move or subject action and say what must stay fixed.
Change one property at a time
Keep the requested transformation narrow so drift can be diagnosed in the output.
Keep production fallback ready
Use a regular route when availability, exact timing or delivery reliability matters.
From brief to deliverable
Put Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview to work
Social and content teams
Prototype a social hook
Turn a still, short clip or text idea into a quick motion concept for a social content review.
- Tools you need
- Generation queue, player, storage and content review.
- Keep in mind
- Preview output is exploratory and may not meet final resolution, timing or policy requirements.
View a task brief
Plan a short social preview from the supplied source and hook. Return motion direction and a keep/discard rubric. Do not claim a preview rendered without job evidence.
Creative and brand teams
Animate a product or character still
Add one controlled movement to a reference image while retaining the declared identity and composition.
- Tools you need
- Image upload, generation, player and brand review.
- Keep in mind
- Preview generation does not guarantee frame-perfect geometry, labels or facial identity.
View a task brief
Plan a controlled image-to-video remix. List invariants, motion, frame checkpoints and brand review checks.
Growth and marketing teams
Explore a trend-led variant
Test several short variants of a current creative idea, then select one for a stable production route.
- Tools you need
- Generation batch, storage, analytics and human review.
- Keep in mind
- Trend relevance and preview quality do not prove audience performance or rights clearance.
View a task brief
Create a small preview test plan for the supplied trend brief. Return variant definitions, selection criteria and the checks required before production or publication.
Capabilities in context
Key features
| Feature | What you get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Input modes | Text, image and video input are listed | Keep source role, encoding and rights information with each preview job. |
| Video output | The route returns video | Track job status, output metadata and preview or production status separately. |
| Resolution tiers | 480p and 720p appear in pricing | Use the destination and current dynamic table to choose the estimate. |
| Preview status | The model name includes Preview | Expect contract and quality changes; keep a fallback route and revalidate periodically. |
| Per-second billing | The route exposes a per-second expression | Count duration, failed takes, transcoding and review in cost per accepted variant. |
The model ID, preview status and 480p/720p pricing conditions come from TokenHot's current catalog. Verify availability, policies, duration and endpoint parameters before production routing.
Audience & fit
Where Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Preview fits
Social and content teams
Use the preview route for quick hooks and motion tests with a clear keep/discard rubric.
Creative and brand teams
Animate references with explicit invariants, then inspect labels, faces and geometry.
Growth and marketing teams
Explore variants cheaply while keeping performance, rights and production decisions separate from the model output.
Cost context
Plan the cost of a useful result
Price preview attempts
Count failed takes, reruns, storage and transcoding rather than only the selected output.
Keep resolution explicit
480p and 720p have different catalog conditions. Record the chosen setting with the job.
Separate performance claims
A compelling preview is not evidence of audience lift. Budget analytics and rights review separately.
Use the current pricing table for available rates and account groups. Model IDs and prices come from TokenHot’s catalog; provider pricing and subscriptions are separate.
