Grok Imagine Video 1.5 (Image-to-Video)
[Core Function] Grok Imagine Video 1.5 I2V animates a single starting image into a video using the Grok Imagine 1.5 generation backbone. [Strengths] It excels at producing motion from one starting frame with the improved 1.5 model. [Best For] Highly recommended for: animating a photo or illustration when the 1.5 generation backbone is preferred. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for text-only generation, for resolutions above 1080p, or for clips longer than 15 seconds; it requires a starting image and is limited to 480p/720p/1080p and 15s. [Routing] Use this model when the user provides one starting image and prefers the 1.5 backbone.
