Instant cinematic video synthesis with fluid camera sweeps and natural physical momentum

How LTX works

Three streamlined stages to take your cinematic concepts from text descriptions to real-time generated video clips.

LTX workflow connecting a detailed cinematic courtyard prompt to the video generator.

Describe Scene and Lighting

Compose your scene in present-tense sentences, establishing subject motion, material textures, and natural lighting cues.

Set Camera and Quality Controls

Select 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratios, define dolly or tracking camera paths, and set steps from 20 for drafts up to 50 for final polish.

Generate Fluid Video Footage

Synthesize video frames in real time with believable physical weight, organic motion blur, and cinematic depth.

What LTX is good at

Explore the architectural breakthroughs, motion responsiveness, and granular generation controls that power LTX-Video.

Real-Time Latent Transformer Architecture

Powered by a latent diffusion transformer with a 1:192 Video-VAE compression ratio, generating video frames at sub-second speeds for immediate creative feedback loops.

Cinematographic Camera Control

Direct fluid dolly sweeps, pans, and tracking shots that maintain physical momentum, natural atmospheric lighting, and organic depth across 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios.

Adaptive Step and Resolution Scaling

Scale inference steps between 20 for instant rough-cut storyboards and 50 for refined, artifact-free 720p footage with rich filmic grain and volumetric lighting.

Configurable Script and Prompt Expansion

Toggle built-in prompt expansion to enrich simple concepts with atmospheric nuance, or disable it to execute exact screenplay-style framing without interference.

Frequently Asked Questions

LTX is the common shorthand for LTX-Video, an open-weights latent diffusion transformer model developed by Lightricks for real-time video generation. Both names refer to the same architecture.

LTX-Video delivers near-instantaneous video synthesis, generating video clips faster than playback speed on high-end hardware. Its specialized Video-VAE uses a 1:192 compression ratio (32x32x8 spatiotemporal downscaling), allowing creators to iterate on cinematic motion concepts in real time.

Use 20 to 30 inference steps for ultra-fast concept prototyping and rapid storyboarding drafts. For final production deliveries with refined textures and reduced visual artifacts, increase the step count to 40 or 50.

Write continuous present-tense natural language paragraphs under 200 words, explicitly naming camera moves such as slow dolly pans, tracking shots, or tilts with clear ending states. Avoid comma-separated quality tags like "4k" or montage instructions like "cut to", which cause frame jumps.

Enable prompt expansion when submitting short, simple concepts so the built-in language processor can elaborate lighting and motion details. Disable it when providing exact screenplay-style instructions or precise camera angles to prevent modifications to your shot plan.

LTX-Video was developed by Lightricks in partnership with Shutterstock and released on November 21, 2024 as an open-weights model.
