xAI Adds Reference Support to "Grok Imagine Video 1.5" With Image/Voice References and Native 1080p

#Grok#xAI#video generation#GrokImagine

xAI announced that its video generation model “Grok Imagine Video 1.5” now supports image and voice references along with native 1080p output. It also gained text-only video generation, and can keep a character’s voice consistent across multiple scenes.

Details

  • Image and voice references: Up to seven references (images and/or voice clips) per generation, letting a character’s appearance and voice stay consistent across new scenes
  • Text-only video generation: New capability to generate video from a text prompt alone, with no starting image required — the pipeline first generates an image, then animates it
  • Native 1080p: Both text-to-video and image-to-video now support native 1080p output
  • Voice consistency: Voice references let a character’s voice stay consistent across multiple scenes
  • API access: Available via the xAI API as grok-imagine-video-1.5 (voice references available on request)

How to try it

  • Image and voice references launched first in the US for SuperGrok Heavy and SuperGrok Plus subscribers on grok.com/imagine and the iOS app, rolling out to all tiers over the next few days
  • Text-only video generation and native 1080p output are already generally available across web, iOS, and Android
  • Developers can access the grok-imagine-video-1.5 model through the xAI API
