Introduction

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 woman with brown hair wears a black jacket and has a small, barely noticeable mole on her right cheek. The camera angle is a close-up, focused on the woman with brown hair's face. The lighting is warm and natural, likely from the setting sun, casting a soft glow on the scene. The scene appears to be real-life footage.	A woman walks away from a white Jeep parked on a city street at night... A woman walks away from a white Jeep parked on a city street at night, then ascends a staircase and knocks on a door. The woman, wearing a dark jacket and jeans, walks away from the Jeep parked on the left side of the street, her back to the camera; she walks at a steady pace, her arms swinging slightly by her sides; the street is dimly lit, with streetlights casting pools of light on the wet pavement; a man in a dark jacket and jeans walks past the Jeep in the opposite direction; the camera follows the woman from behind as she walks up a set of stairs towards a building with a green door; she reaches the top of the stairs and turns left, continuing to walk towards the building; she reaches the door and knocks on it with her right hand; the camera remains stationary, focused on the doorway; the scene is captured in real-life footage.	A woman with blonde hair styled up, wearing a black dress... A woman with blonde hair styled up, wearing a black dress with sequins and pearl earrings, looks down with a sad expression on her face. The camera remains stationary, focused on the woman's face. The lighting is dim, casting soft shadows on her face. The scene appears to be from a movie or TV show.	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.

He wears a brown suit jacket over a white shirt, and a gold ring on his left ring finger. His short hair is neatly combed, and he has light skin with visible wrinkles around his eyes. The camera remains stationary, focused on his face and upper body. The room is dark, lit only by a warm light source off-screen to the left, casting shadows on the wall behind him. The scene appears to be from a movie.	A prison guard unlocks and opens a cell door... A prison guard unlocks and opens a cell door to reveal a young man sitting at a table with a woman. The guard, wearing a dark blue uniform with a badge on his left chest, unlocks the cell door with a key held in his right hand and pulls it open; he has short brown hair, light skin, and a neutral expression. The young man, wearing a black and white striped shirt, sits at a table covered with a white tablecloth, facing the woman; he has short brown hair, light skin, and a neutral expression. The woman, wearing a dark blue shirt, sits opposite the young man, her face turned towards him; she has short blonde hair and light skin.

Model User Guide

📝 Prompt Engineering

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.

🎮 Parameter Guide

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

More to come...
