LTX Video is the video generation model developed by Lightricks (makers of consumer video apps including Facetune, LightX, and video editing tools) and made available as an open source model as well as through the LTX Studio application. Lightricks entered the AI video generation space with a model that prioritises generation speed alongside quality — producing video clips faster than competitors like Runway and Kling at comparable resolution.
The LTX Video model generates 24fps video at 768x512 resolution, producing video clips up to 5 seconds in length from text prompts or image-to-video animation. The open source model release allows developers to run LTX Video on their own GPU hardware, which is significant for organisations that cannot use cloud-based video AI for privacy or cost reasons.
LTX Studio, the consumer application, provides a user-friendly interface for text-to-video and image-to-video generation without requiring technical setup. The storyboard-to-video feature allows structuring a multi-scene narrative and generating video for each scene with consistent visual style.
As an open source model, LTX Video has been adopted by the Hugging Face and ComfyUI communities, with custom workflows and integrations developed by the open source community. This positions it differently from closed-source competitors — developers can download, modify, and deploy the model without per-generation API costs at scale.
LTX Video runs as video generation model software built around text and image workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, api, and comfyui, with API access for teams that want to embed it into their own products.
