## Intent

Grok is a 1–15s native-audio draft-to-1080p model. Seedance 2.5 is longer, with first/last frames and a much larger reference set.

## Verdict

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 lists 1–15 seconds at 480p–1080p with native audio, single-image animation, and up to seven references—no first/last frames. Seedance 2.5 lists 4–30 seconds at 480p–1080p with optional audio, first/last frames, and up to 30 references. Choose Grok to explore a direction at lower resolution; choose Seedance 2.5 when the shot needs length, endpoint frames, or a large reference set.
