Introducing WaveSpeedAI LTX Video V097 I2V 480p on WaveSpeedAI

Bringing Your Images to Life with LTX Video 0.9.7 (I2V 480P) on WaveSpeedAI

The era of instant video creation from static images has arrived. We’re excited to announce the availability of LTX Video 0.9.7 (I2V 480P) on WaveSpeedAI—a groundbreaking image-to-video model that transforms your still images into fluid, high-quality 480p videos at unprecedented speeds.

What is LTX Video 0.9.7?

LTX Video is the first DiT (Diffusion Transformer)-based video generation model capable of producing high-quality videos in real-time. Developed by Lightricks, this revolutionary model generates 30 FPS videos faster than they can be watched—a remarkable achievement in AI video synthesis.

The I2V (Image-to-Video) 480P variant takes your input image and a text prompt, then intelligently animates the scene while maintaining the visual consistency and style of your original image. Whether you’re bringing product photos to life, creating animated artwork, or generating dynamic content for social media, LTX Video delivers professional results in seconds.

What sets LTX Video apart is its sophisticated architecture: a carefully designed Video-VAE achieving a compression ratio of 1:192, with spatiotemporal downscaling of 32×32×8 pixels per token. This technical innovation enables the model to process and generate video content with exceptional efficiency while maintaining visual quality.

Key Features

• Real-Time Generation: LTX Video produces video content faster than playback speed, generating approximately 5 seconds of 24 FPS video in just 2 seconds on optimized hardware
• Smooth Motion Quality: The DiT-based architecture eliminates common AI artifacts, ensuring fluid camera movements and natural transitions throughout your videos
• Image-Guided Animation: Start with any image and guide the animation using descriptive text prompts for precise creative control
• Temporal Consistency: Advanced multiscale rendering maintains coherent motion and visual continuity from frame to frame
• Optimized 480P Output: The perfect balance of quality and speed for web content, social media, and rapid prototyping
• Trained on Licensed Data: Unlike some competitors, LTX Video was trained on fully-licensed data from providers like Getty Images and Shutterstock, meaning your generated content is free from copyright concerns

Use Cases

Content Creators and Social Media Managers

Transform static thumbnails, product images, or artwork into eye-catching animated content. The 480p resolution is optimized for social media platforms where engagement matters more than 4K resolution, and the fast generation speed lets you iterate quickly on creative concepts.

E-commerce and Product Marketing

Bring product photography to life with subtle animations that showcase items from different angles or demonstrate features. Convert catalog images into dynamic product showcases that capture customer attention in crowded marketplaces.

Artists and Illustrators

Animate your digital artwork, concept art, or illustrations without learning complex animation software. Simply describe the motion you envision, and watch your static creations come to life with realistic movement and physics.

Game Developers and Concept Artists

Rapidly prototype animated sequences from concept art. Test how static environment designs might look with dynamic elements like flowing water, moving clouds, or swaying vegetation before committing to full animation production.

Marketing and Advertising Teams

Create quick video drafts from storyboard frames or mockups. The real-time generation speed allows for rapid iteration during creative meetings, helping teams visualize concepts and make decisions faster.

Educational Content Creators

Transform diagrams, infographics, and educational illustrations into animated explanations. Add motion to scientific visualizations, historical scenes, or instructional materials to increase learner engagement.
