Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!LTX 2.5 Image-to-Video animates a first-frame image into high-fidelity synchronized audio-video content, with optional last-frame guidance and 720P / 1080P / 2K / 4K output for cinematic videos, social content, ads, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
LTX-2.5 Image-to-Video animates a first-frame image into a synchronized video with native audio. You can also provide an optional last-frame image to guide the ending of the clip, making it useful for controlled image animation and start-to-end-frame video generation.
Why Choose This?
-
Image-to-video generation
Animate a still image into a coherent video with prompt-guided motion. -
Optional last-frame control
Uselast_imageto guide the final frame and improve transition direction. -
Native audio generation
Generate synchronized audio together with the video output. -
Multiple resolution options
Choose from720p,1080p,2k, or4kdepending on quality and cost needs. -
Controlled duration
Generate videos from5to20seconds. -
Simple workflow
Provide a first-frame image, write a prompt, choose resolution and duration, then generate the final video.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | First-frame image URL or Base64-encoded image. |
| last_image | No | Optional last-frame image URL or Base64-encoded image used to guide the ending of the clip. |
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the motion, scene, camera movement, visual style, and audio direction. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 720p, 1080p, 2k, or 4k. Default: 720p. |
| duration | No | Video length in seconds. Range: 5–20. |
| seed | No | Random seed. Use -1 for a random seed. |
How to Use
- Upload the first-frame image — Provide the image that should guide the beginning of the video.
- Add last-frame guidance optional — Use
last_imagewhen you want more control over the final frame. - Write your prompt — Describe the subject motion, scene development, camera movement, style, and audio direction.
- Choose resolution — Select
720p,1080p,2k, or4k. - Set duration — Choose a video length from
5to20seconds. - Set seed optional — Use a fixed seed for more reproducible results, or
-1for a random seed. - Submit — Generate the final image-to-video output with synchronized audio.
Pricing
Pricing is based on generated video duration and selected resolution.
Native audio is included at every resolution and does not add a separate charge.
| Resolution | Per second | 5s | 10s | 20s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | $0.10 | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.00 |
| 1080p | $0.14 | $0.70 | $1.40 | $2.80 |
| 2k | $0.21 | $1.05 | $2.10 | $4.20 |
| 4k | $0.33 | $1.65 | $3.30 | $6.60 |
Best Use Cases
- Image animation — Turn still images into short motion clips.
- Start-and-end-frame control — Use
imageandlast_imageto guide both the beginning and ending of the video. - Product videos — Animate product images into polished promotional clips.
- Character motion — Add movement, expression, or camera motion to character images.
- Social media content — Create short videos for vertical, square, or widescreen formats.
- Creative prototyping — Test motion direction, audio style, and scene pacing from a still image.
Pro Tips
- Use a clear, high-quality first-frame image for stronger subject preservation.
- Use
last_imagewhen the final pose, composition, or ending frame matters. - Keep first and last frames visually compatible for smoother transitions.
- Describe motion, camera movement, lighting, mood, and audio cues in the prompt.
- Use shorter durations for quick iteration and longer durations when the action needs more time.
- Set a fixed
seedwhen you want more reproducible outputs.
