We've added **Grok Imagine Video v1.5**, xAI's image-to-video model, to AI Edit. Give it a single reference image and a text prompt describing how the scene should move, and it animates that frame into a short video - with camera movement, subject motion, and atmosphere all driven by your prompt.


**What it does**
Unlike text-to-video, this model starts from an image you already have. That makes it a natural fit for bringing existing artwork, product shots, or generated stills to life. You stay in control of the look - the source image anchors the visuals - while the prompt directs the motion.

- Image-guided generation - Start from one reference image and animate it. The frame you provide is the foundation, so the result stays close to your original composition.
- Prompt-based motion control - Describe camera behavior, subject movement, pacing, and mood in plain language. You can even script multi-shot sequences with transitions for more cinematic results.
- Choose your resolution - Render in 480p for fast, low-cost iteration or 720p for higher-quality final clips.
- Flexible length - Generate clips from 1 up to 15 seconds, so you can produce anything from a quick loop to a longer narrative beat.


**What it's good for**
Animating still images, short social media clips, concept and storyboard visualization, advertising mockups from campaign art, and creative prototyping where you want to test a motion idea quickly before committing to a full production.


**A few tips for best results**
- Start from a clear, high-quality source image for more stable motion.
- Be specific about camera movement and subject action rather than re-describing what's already in the image.
- Use shorter durations while you're iterating, then step up to 720p for the final render.


**Try it now**
