The young man looks toward the sea, then slowly turns back toward the camera. The wind moves his shirt and hair naturally, waves roll in the background, warm sunset light flickers across the scene. Slow cinematic camera movement, soft emotional motion.
wavespeed-ai/ltx-2.3-spicy/image-to-video generates short image-to-video clips with a synchronized native audio track. Upload a reference image, provide a prompt, choose the output resolution and duration, and generate an mp4 video with audio.
Image-to-video with audio Generate short video clips with a synchronized audio track in a single workflow.
Prompt-following generation The model follows the prompt directly for motion, scene, and overall output direction.
Flexible resolution options
Choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p depending on your quality and cost requirements.
Short-form video generation
Supports clip durations from 3 to 20 seconds.
Simple workflow Start from a single reference image and a text prompt to generate a final mp4 output.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
image | Yes | Reference image. JPG or PNG is recommended; avoid WEBP. |
prompt | Yes | Positive prompt describing the desired motion and scene. |
resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Default: 480p. |
duration | No | Output duration in seconds. Supported range: 3 to 20. Default: 5. |
seed | No | Random seed. Use -1 for a random seed. Default: -1. |
resolution, duration, and seed as needed.| Resolution | Per 5s | Per second | Max length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.10 | $0.02 / s | 20 s |
| 720p | $0.20 | $0.04 / s | 20 s |
| 1080p | $0.30 | $0.06 / s | 20 s |
720p costs 2x the 480p price.1080p costs 3x the 480p price.max(5, min(duration, 20)).480p for faster and lower-cost testing.720p or 1080p for higher-quality final outputs.seed if you want more reproducible generations.image and prompt are required fields.resolution, duration, and seed are optional.resolution is 480p.duration is 5.seed is -1, which uses a random seed.480p is the fastest tier.Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/ltx-2.3-spicy/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 2.3 Spicy Image To Video below.

time.sleep(2)Ltx 2.3 Spicy Image To Video is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. LTX 2.3 Spicy Image-to-Video API generates expressive AI videos from a reference image and prompt. Choose style presets, duration, and resolution with fast REST inference, no cold starts, and affordable pricing on WaveSpeedAI. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
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/wavespeed-ai/ltx-2.3-spicy-image-to-video.
Ltx 2.3 Spicy Image To Video starts at $0.10 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.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `seed`, `preset`. 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/wavespeed-ai/ltx-2.3-spicy-image-to-video.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 38 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
