Introduction
LTX-Video is the first DiT-based video generation model that contains all core capabilities of modern video generation in one model: synchronized audio and video, high fidelity, multiple performance modes, production-ready outputs, API access, and open access. It can generate up to 50 FPS videos at native 4K resolution with synchronized audio in one pass.
The model is trained on a large-scale dataset of diverse videos and can generate high-resolution videos with realistic and diverse content.
The model supports image-to-video, multi-keyframe conditioning, keyframe-based animation, video extension (both forward and backward), video-to-video transformations, and any combination of these features.

News
October 23, 2025: LTX-2 Announced
Today we announced our newest foundation model, LTX-2. LTX-2 represents a major leap forward from our previous model, LTXV 0.9.8. Here’s what’s new:
- Audio + Video, Together: Visuals and sound are generated in one coherent process, with motion, dialogue, ambience, and music flowing simultaneously.
- 4K Fidelity: Professional-grade precision with native 4K and up to 50 fps, sharp textures, clean motion, and synchronized audio.
- Longer Generations: LTX-2 supports longer, continuous clips with synchronized audio up to 10 seconds.
- Low Cost & Efficiency: Up to 50% lower compute cost than competing models, powered by a multi-GPU inference stack.
- Creative Control: Multi-keyframe conditioning, 3D camera logic, and LoRA fine-tuning deliver frame-level precision and style consistency.
For more details, please see our blog post. LTX-2 model weights, code, and benchmarks will be released to the community later in 2025.

Quick Start Guide
Online inference
The model is accessible right away via the following links:
Run locally
Installation
The codebase was tested with Python 3.10.5, CUDA version 12.2, and supports PyTorch >= 2.1.2.
On macOS, MPS was tested with PyTorch 2.3.0, and should support PyTorch == 2.3 or >= 2.6.
git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-Video.git
cd LTX-Video
# create env
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .\[inference\]
FP8 Kernels (optional)
FP8 kernels developed for LTX-Video provide performance boost on supported graphics cards (Ada architecture and later). To install FP8 kernels, follow the instructions in that repository.
Inference
📝 Note: For best results, we recommend using our ComfyUI workflow. We're working on updating the inference.py script to match the high quality and output fidelity of ComfyUI.
To use our model, please follow the inference code in inference.py:
For image-to-video generation:
python inference.py --prompt "PROMPT" --conditioning_media_paths IMAGE_PATH --conditioning_start_frames 0 --height HEIGHT --width WIDTH --num_frames NUM_FRAMES --seed SEED --pipeline_config configs/ltxv-13b-0.9.8-distilled.yaml
Extending a video:
📝 Note: Input video segments must contain a multiple of 8 frames plus 1 (e.g., 9, 17, 25, etc.), and the target frame number should be a multiple of 8.
python inference.py --prompt "PROMPT" --conditioning_media_paths VIDEO_PATH --conditioning_start_frames START_FRAME --height HEIGHT --width WIDTH --num_frames NUM_FRAMES --seed SEED --pipeline_config configs/ltxv-13b-0.9.8-distilled.yaml
For video generation with multiple conditions:
You can now generate a video conditioned on a set of images and/or short video segments.
Simply provide a list of paths to the images or video segments you want to condition on, along with their target frame numbers in the generated video. You can also specify the conditioning strength for each item (default: 1.0).
python inference.py --prompt "PROMPT" --conditioning_media_paths IMAGE_OR_VIDEO_PATH_1 IMAGE_OR_VIDEO_PATH_2 --conditioning_start_frames TARGET_FRAME_1 TARGET_FRAME_2 --height HEIGHT --width WIDTH --num_frames NUM_FRAMES --seed SEED --pipeline_config configs/ltxv-13b-0.9.8-distilled.yaml
Using as a library
from ltx_video.inference import infer, InferenceConfig
infer(
InferenceConfig(
pipeline_config="configs/ltxv-13b-0.9.8-distilled.yaml",
prompt=PROMPT,
height=HEIGHT,
width=WIDTH,
num_frames=NUM_FRAMES,
output_path="output.mp4",
)
)
ComfyUI Integration
To use our model with ComfyUI, please follow the instructions at https://github.com/Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/.
Diffusers Integration
To use our model with the Diffusers Python library, check out the official documentation.
Diffusers also support an 8-bit version of LTX-Video, see details below
Model User Guide
📝 Prompt Engineering
When writing prompts, focus on detailed, chronological descriptions of actions and scenes. Include specific movements, appearances, camera angles, and environmental details - all in a single flowing paragraph. Start directly with the action, and keep descriptions literal and precise. Think like a cinematographer describing a shot list. Keep within 200 words. For best results, build your prompts using this structure:
- Start with main action in a single sentence
- Add specific details about movements and gestures
- Describe character/object appearances precisely
- Include background and environment details
- Specify camera angles and movements
- Describe lighting and colors
- Note any changes or sudden events
- See examples for more inspiration.
Automatic Prompt Enhancement
When using LTXVideoPipeline directly, you can enable prompt enhancement by setting
