No. This endpoint supports image-to-video only. A prompt and at least one image source are required. The image source can be a reference image, first frame, last frame, loop image, or timed keyframe.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 animates reference images, first and last frames, timed keyframes, or a loop image through a single image-to-video API. Start at 24 Credits per second, choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p output, and direct clips from 1 to 15 seconds with prompts up to 5,000 characters.

A focused image-to-video API with unusually accessible pricing
24 Credits Entry Rate
Use the 480p tier at 24 Credits per output second for inexpensive drafts, high-volume concept exploration, and short motion tests.
Seven-Image Guidance
Reference images guide appearance rather than acting as an ordered first and last frame pair. They can be omitted when another image source is supplied. The allowed reference count depends on resolution.
Three Resolution Tiers
Use a single first frame for higher-resolution output. Prefer the middle resolution tier when combining frame controls, and check input compatibility before generating.
Flexible Short Durations
Set any whole-second duration from 1 through 15 seconds instead of being limited to a small set of fixed clip lengths.
Six Frame Shapes
Keep automatic framing or request 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, or 2:3 for square, landscape, portrait, and classic media layouts.
Detailed Motion Briefs
Use a required prompt from 1 to 5,000 characters to describe movement, camera behavior, pacing, subject actions, and scene intent.
Direct endpoints, timing, and loops
First and last frames
Use dedicated frame inputs to define the opening and closing composition. Either endpoint can be supplied on its own; ordinary reference images are not an ordered frame pair.
Timed middle keyframes
Assign an explicit time in seconds to each middle frame. Decimal times are supported. Keep times inside the output duration and at least 1/3 second apart; shortening the clip requires checking the times again.
Loop image
Use a loop image for both opening and closing frames. It takes precedence over separate first and last frames while retaining reference images and timed keyframes. Prefer a compatible middle-tier resolution for loop workflows.

Low-Cost Motion Drafts
Test several motion directions at 480p from 24 Credits per second before choosing which concept deserves a higher-resolution pass. The per-second formula keeps the cost of each draft easy to calculate.
Multi-Image Visual Briefs
Reference images communicate visual appearance. Dedicated first and last frames define endpoints, while timed middle frames let you specify visual milestones at exact moments. Use a prompt to explain subject action, camera movement, and pacing between these controls.
Landscape and Portrait Clips
Create short 16:9, 9:16, or square video concepts for different publishing surfaces, with 3:2 and 2:3 available when the source composition benefits from a photographic frame.
Draft-to-1080p Workflows
Explore timing and motion with a compatible frame-control workflow, then use a single first-frame image when requesting higher-resolution output. Combined frame controls are not universally available at every resolution. Review the final task status to distinguish accepted requests from successful generation.

Notes
Reference images, first and last frames, timed keyframes, and loop images use the same duration-and-resolution pricing.
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 supports image-to-video only. Supply a prompt and at least one reference image, first frame, last frame, loop image, or timed keyframe.
Reference-image limits depend on resolution. Timed keyframes use numeric times inside the clip, at least 1/3 second apart. Loop images override separate endpoints.
Duration must be a whole number from 1 to 15 seconds. Total price equals duration multiplied by the selected resolution rate.
Aspect ratio defaults to auto; explicit options are 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, and 2:3.
The published APIXO rates per second are 24 Credits at 480p, 45 Credits at 720p, and 80 Credits at 1080p.
Frequently Asked Questions
The rate per second is 24 Credits at 480p, 45 Credits at 720p, and 80 Credits at 1080p. Multiply the chosen rate by the output duration to calculate the total price.
Reference-image limits depend on resolution and apply to that array independently of dedicated frames. Supply at least one image source; references are optional when a frame, loop image, or timed keyframe is present. Use a single first frame for the highest resolution and prefer the middle tier for combined frame controls.
Duration can be any whole number from 1 to 15 seconds. Aspect ratio can be auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, or 2:3, with auto used by default.
Yes. The APIXO API is available today. The in-browser workspace for this model is currently being wired up.
