Grok Video 1.5 Lite: 1.05 credits a second at 720p
xAI released Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on October 1 and it is on the picker now as Grok Video 1.5 Lite, on every paid plan. It makes a clip from words alone, or opens a clip on a picture you connect.
At 720p it is 1.05 credits a second, against 4.9 on Grok Video 1.5. We checked both ways in against fal’s bill before writing this: 6 seconds at 720p from words billed $0.18, and 3 seconds at 480p from a picture billed $0.07, both to the cent. The picture at the top of this post is a frame of the second clip.
Pricing
Charged by the second, at the quality you pick. A clip that opens on a picture costs 0.35 credits more per press, which is fal’s one cent for the picture.
| Quality | Credits a second | 5 seconds from words | 5 seconds from a picture |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | 0.70 | 3.50 | 3.85 |
| 720p | 1.05 | 5.25 | 5.60 |
| 1080p | 4.90 | 24.50 | 24.85 |
A new box starts at 720p and 5 seconds. The number sits on the Generate button before you press it.

Limits
Any length from 1 to 15 seconds. From words, pick one of seven shapes. From a picture, the clip follows the picture’s shape.
