LTX-Video is the first DiT-based video generation model that can generate high-quality videos in real-time. It can generate 24 FPS videos at 768x512 resolution, faster than it takes to watch them. The model is trained on a large-scale dataset of diverse videos and can generate high-resolution videos with realistic and diverse content.

 The camera pans over a snow-covered mountain range...The camera pans over a snow-covered mountain range, revealing a vast expanse of snow-capped peaks and valleys.The mountains are covered in a thick layer of snow, with some areas appearing almost white while others have a slightly darker, almost grayish hue. The peaks are jagged and irregular, with some rising sharply into the sky while others are more rounded. The valleys are deep and narrow, with steep slopes that are also covered in snow. The trees in the foreground are mostly bare, with only a few leaves remaining on their branches. The sky is overcast, with thick clouds obscuring the sun. The overall impression is one of peace and tranquility, with the snow-covered mountains standing as a testament to the power and beauty of nature. |

When writing prompts, focus on detailed, chronological descriptions of actions and scenes. Include specific movements, appearances, camera angles, and environmental details - all in a single flowing paragraph. Start directly with the action, and keep descriptions literal and precise. Think like a cinematographer describing a shot list. Keep within 200 words. For best results, build your prompts using this structure:
- Start with main action in a single sentence
- Add specific details about movements and gestures
- Describe character/object appearances precisely
- Include background and environment details
- Specify camera angles and movements
- Describe lighting and colors
- Note any changes or sudden events
- See examples for more inspiration.
- Resolution Preset: Higher resolutions for detailed scenes, lower for faster generation and simpler scenes. The model works on resolutions that are divisible by 32 and number of frames that are divisible by 8 + 1 (e.g. 257). In case the resolution or number of frames are not divisible by 32 or 8 + 1, the input will be padded with -1 and then cropped to the desired resolution and number of frames. The model works best on resolutions under 720 x 1280 and number of frames below 257
- Seed: Save seed values to recreate specific styles or compositions you like
- Guidance Scale: 3-3.5 are the recommended values
- Inference Steps: More steps (40+) for quality, fewer steps (20-30) for speed
