Ltx Video V097 I2V 480p API Documentation

Playground

Generate 480p videos from text prompts and images with LTX Video 0.9.7 (i2v-480p). Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

LTX Video V0.97 Image-to-Video 480p is a fast and efficient image-to-video generation model that transforms static images into dynamic 480p videos. Upload an image, describe the motion you want, and watch your photo come to life — perfect for quick content creation and prototyping.

Why It Stands Out

• Image-driven generation: Animate any image while preserving its original style and composition.
• Prompt-guided motion: Describe camera movements, actions, and atmospheric effects.
• Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
• Negative prompt support: Exclude unwanted elements for cleaner outputs.
• Dual orientation: Generate landscape (832×480) or portrait (480×832) videos.
• Affordable pricing: Quality video generation at just $0.20 per video.
• Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload your source image — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
2. Write a prompt describing the motion you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
3. Add a negative prompt (optional) — specify elements to exclude.
4. Select size — choose landscape (832×480) or portrait (480×832).
5. Set a seed (optional) for reproducible results.
6. Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
7. Preview and download the result.

Best Use Cases

• Rapid Prototyping — Quickly test animation concepts before committing to higher resolutions.
• Social Media Content — Create engaging video posts for platforms where 480p is sufficient.
• Content Previews — Generate quick previews for client approval.
• Creative Exploration — Experiment with different motion ideas at low cost.
• Batch Processing — Transform multiple images into videos efficiently.

Pricing

Pro Tips for Best Quality

• Use high-resolution, well-lit source images for optimal results.
• Be specific in your prompt — describe camera movement, subject actions, and atmospheric details.
• Use negative prompts to reduce artifacts like blur, distortion, or unwanted motion.
• Choose portrait (480×832) for mobile-first platforms like TikTok.
• Fix the seed when iterating to compare different prompt variations.

Notes

• Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
• For higher resolution output, consider other I2V models at 720p or 1080p.
• Processing time varies based on current queue load.
• Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
