Grok Imagine 1.5 previewReviewed August 22, 2026

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Generator

Turn text or a small visual set into a fast video experiment. This workspace exposes 480p and 720p with five-, eight-, ten-, or fifteen-second takes and up to seven image inputs.

Choose Grok Imagine 1.5 for fast concept exploration and multi-image direction. Treat the preview model as an iteration tool, then compare the strongest shot with a higher-resolution workflow if needed.

Selection rule

Where Grok Imagine Video 1.5 fits best

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is useful early in the creative process: social concepts, storyboard motion, mood tests and quick visual combinations where iteration speed matters more than maximum resolution.

Multiple images can supply a compact visual vocabulary. Keep the set coherent—subject, environment and one material or style reference—rather than uploading seven unrelated pictures.

  • Use text-only mode to explore a shot before preparing references.
  • Use two to four related images for clearer visual direction.
  • Start at 480p for disposable motion tests.
  • Re-test a keeper in another model when final resolution or sound controls matter.

Prompt patterns

Use references as roles, not a collage

Concept motion

A translucent orange raincoat hangs in a concrete gallery. A controlled gust lifts the hem as the camera makes a slow half-circle; sharp material reflections, soft daylight, stable coat construction, quiet atmospheric motion.

Multi-image direction

Use the images for the same cyclist, the night market environment and the wet chrome material language. Track beside the cyclist through one turn; keep face, jacket and bicycle consistent, realistic crowd parallax, no logos or text.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Grok Imagine Video 1.5 actually connected here?+

Yes when Kie is configured. The product model maps to grok-imagine-video-1-5-preview through a server-side allowlist.

Why is 1080p missing?+

Kie documents 1080p, but the current product exposes only 480p and 720p until its site credit pricing and end-to-end behavior are verified.

Can I use seven images?+

The uploader and API adapter allow up to seven public image URLs at the current product resolutions. A smaller, coherent set is usually easier to direct.

What does preview mean?+

The model name, behavior, pricing or availability may change more quickly than a stable release. Check the selected model and current controls before important work.

Sources reviewed

Kie labels this model as a preview. This site currently limits output controls to 480p and 720p while the upstream API also documents 1080p.

Make the first motion test disposable

Use 480p and a short take to find the idea before spending on the keeper.
