Before
Until last week, video generation was dominated by Sora / Veo — with pricing that felt steep for individual creators.
OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo led high-quality video generation, but pro-tier pricing was out of reach for individual creators and small studios. Monthly cost was prohibitive even for experimental use cases.
Generating video with audio required chaining multiple tools together, adding workflow friction on top of the cost barrier.
What Changed
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is now GA: 6-sec 720p clips in ~25 seconds, audio synthesized in the same pass. Priced at $4.20/min — 86% below Sora 2 Pro

Impact for You
Individual creators can now afford real production runs. Capped at 720p, so broadcast-quality projects still need a different stack.
Video AI pricing just hit real-world viability. Social content, explainer videos, prototype footage — anything that requires repeated generation runs benefits most. 4K or broadcast-quality projects still need an alternative pipeline.
