LTX-2 Pro is a flagship AI creative engine by Lightricks, designed for real production workflows that demand precision, synchronization, and cinematic realism. This model transforms a single image and a descriptive prompt into a dynamic, story-driven video — complete with synchronized motion and audio cues.

🌟 Key Features

  • 🎞 Image-to-Video Magic Bring static images to life with natural motion, lighting shifts, and cinematic camera moves — turning a single frame into a full narrative moment.

  • 🎧 Audio–Video Synchronization Generates perfectly timed motion and atmosphere, matching the rhythm and emotion implied by your prompt or soundtrack.

  • 🚀 Production-Ready Quality Built for professional pipelines — ensuring stable motion, clear detail, and controlled style consistency across frames.

  • 🎨 Context-Aware Generation Understands visual composition and preserves the original image’s tone, colors, and spatial relationships while expanding motion naturally.

  • 🧩 Adaptive Cinematic Control Handles camera direction, subject focus, and environmental motion (dust, fog, lighting) with impressive smoothness.

Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/lightricks/ltx-2-pro/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video below.

Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video API?

Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video is a Lightricks model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. LTX-2 is an AI creative engine for production workflows, generating synchronized audio and 1080p video output (cost $0.06/s). Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/lightricks/lightricks-ltx-2-pro-image-to-video.

How much does Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video cost per run?

Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video starts at $0.060 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `duration`, `generate_audio`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/lightricks/lightricks-ltx-2-pro-image-to-video.

How long does Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video take to generate?

Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 80 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.

Can I use Ltx 2 Pro Image To Video outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Lightricks). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
