Fast and low-cost
LTX competes on speed and price rather than raw spectacle, which makes it a good model for drafting many takes of everyday scenes.

LTX AI video generator
LTX is Lightricks' video model family, known for speed, low cost and open weights you can run yourself. LTX 2.5 generates sound with the picture, cuts between shots and renders up to 4K on its Fast tier. Write a scene below and it opens in Video Studio on LTX 2.5 Pro.

What LTX is known for
Sound tied to the picture
Dialogue, effects and room tone are generated with the video at no extra cost; our creator's tip landed word for word.
Open weights
LTX 2.3 and 2.5 weights are published under Lightricks' community licence, free below a revenue threshold, so studios can also run and fine-tune them.
Up to 4K and 20 seconds (Fast)
LTX 2.5 Fast renders up to 2160p and runs up to 20 seconds; Pro is the quality tier at 720p or 1080p.
Where it's weaker
- On-screen text is unreliable: the neon sign in our close-up came out as gibberish.
- Some clips barely move: a dance routine we prompted came back almost still, so we left it out.
- Speech can wander between lines: our street interview added a few garbled words before the answer.
- It trails the largest closed models on fine detail and physics; LTX's own benchmarks are not independently reproduced.

Made with LTX on Affogato
Every clip below was generated with the prompt shown, unedited. Load any prompt into the generator and make your own version.
Talking to camera
An editing tip, to camera
Prompt
Vertical talking-head video: a creator in her late twenties with round glasses sits at a desk with a ring light glow, pauses, then leans toward the camera and says, "here's the editing trick nobody tells you." She smiles and raises one eyebrow. Soft key light, bookshelf behind her. Sound: her voice, quiet room tone.
Everyday moments
Grandpa's prize carrot
Prompt
Vertical shot in a backyard vegetable garden: a grandfather in a straw hat pulls a large carrot from the soil, shakes off the dirt and holds it up proudly to the camera, saying "now that's a carrot." Sunny afternoon. Sound: birds, his laugh.
Hands at work
Latte art, then a grin
Prompt
Vertical close shot: a barista with curly hair pours steamed milk into a cup and draws a leaf pattern in the latte, then slides it toward the camera and grins. Morning cafe light. Sound: milk pouring, cafe ambience.
Action
Dropping into the bowl
Prompt
Vertical shot at a concrete skatepark bowl: a teenage girl with a helmet drops into the bowl, carves up the far wall and grabs her board at the lip before rolling back down. The camera follows from the deck. Golden hour light. Sound: wheels on concrete, friends cheering.
Two shots
Street interview, best advice
Prompt
A street interview in two shots. Shot one: a host with a microphone stops a woman in her sixties on a sunny sidewalk and asks, "what's the best advice you ever got?" Shot two, close-up on the woman, who laughs and says, "never buy cheap shoes." Natural daylight. Sound: their voices, traffic.
On-screen text: weak
Neon close-up (the sign is gibberish)
Prompt
Vertical cinematic close-up: a young woman stands under a neon sign in the rain, droplets on her face, slowly looking up into the camera as the sign flickers from pink to blue. Shallow depth of field. Sound: rain, the buzz of the neon.

Prompting LTX well

- Tie every sound to something on screen ("his laugh", "milk pouring").
- Give dialogue a beat of stillness before the line.
- One subject, one action and one camera move per clip; say portrait or landscape up front.
- For several shots, name each cut and describe returning people with the same words.

Questions about LTX
What is LTX best at?
Fast, low-cost clips with sound, everyday scenes and talking to camera, and open weights for teams that want to run or fine-tune the model themselves.
Is LTX open source?
LTX publishes its weights under the LTX community licence: free below a revenue threshold, paid above it. That is open weights rather than an open-source licence.
What is the difference between LTX 2.5 Pro and Fast?
Pro is the quality tier at 720p or 1080p up to 10 seconds. Fast is cheaper and quicker, and goes up to 20 seconds and 2160p.
Does LTX generate sound?
Yes. Dialogue, effects and ambience come with the picture, included in the price.
Is LTX free on Affogato?
No. Every run costs credits, priced by clip length and shown before you generate. Credits come with a monthly plan and unused credits roll over up to the plan's cap.
Can I use LTX videos commercially?
Yes. Paid Affogato plans include a commercial license and no watermark, within our terms of service.
