LTX-2 19B Image-to-Video with Audio

LTX-2 is the first DiT-based (Diffusion Transformer) audio-video foundation model, capable of generating synchronized audio and video from a reference image and text prompt. With 19 billion parameters, it animates your input image into a high-fidelity video clip with natural sound that matches the motion — no separate audio production needed.

Why Choose This?

  • Image-conditioned video with audio Transforms a static image into a moving video with synchronized audio generated in a single pass.

  • Preserves input composition Maintains the subject, framing, and lighting of your reference image while adding natural motion.

  • High-fidelity output Leverages a 19B-parameter DiT architecture for detailed, temporally consistent video with minimal flickering.

  • Flexible resolution Supports 480p, 720p, and 1080p outputs to balance quality and cost.

  • Variable duration Generate clips from 5 to 20 seconds.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesReference image to animate (JPG or PNG)
promptYesText description of motion, action, and audio cues
resolutionNoOutput resolution: 480p, 720p (default), or 1080p
durationNoVideo length in seconds (5-20)
seedNoRandom seed for reproducibility (-1 for random)

Resolution Options

ResolutionBest For
480pFast previews, iteration, lowest cost
720pBalanced quality and cost (default)
1080pFinal delivery, maximum detail

How to Use

  1. Upload your image — the reference image that defines subject, composition, and lighting.
  2. Write your prompt — describe the motion, camera movement, and audio cues.
  3. Select resolution — 480p for iteration, 720p for balance, 1080p for final output.
  4. Set duration — 5-20 seconds based on your content needs.
  5. Run — submit and download the animated video with synchronized audio.

Pricing

Resolution5s10s15s20s
480p$0.06$0.12$0.18$0.24
720p$0.08$0.16$0.24$0.32
1080p$0.12$0.24$0.36$0.48

Billing Rules

  • Base price: $0.08 (720p, 5 seconds)
  • Resolution multiplier: 480p = 0.75×, 720p = 1×, 1080p = 1.5×
  • Duration: Scales linearly (per 5 seconds)
  • Total cost = duration × $0.08 × resolution_multiplier / 5

Best Use Cases

  • Product Animation — Bring product photos to life with subtle motion and ambient audio.
  • Portrait Animation — Animate headshots and portraits with natural movement.
  • Social Media — Create engaging animated content from static images.
  • Marketing — Transform key visuals into video ads with cohesive sound.
  • Storytelling — Animate storyboard frames or concept art.

Pro Tips

  • Audio is automatic — sound is generated based on visual motion and prompt context.
  • Describe specific audio when needed (e.g., "rain," "jazz," "crowd noise").
  • Use high-quality, sharp, well-exposed images for best results.
  • Keep motion prompts simple — one clear action per prompt yields better results.
  • Iterate at 480p to dial in motion, then render at higher resolution for final output.
  • Use fixed seed when comparing prompt variations to isolate changes.

Notes

  • Maximum video duration is 20 seconds.
  • The aspect ratio of output video is influenced by your input image.
  • For longer content, generate multiple clips and edit together.
