Input
The prompt used for the generation.

PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF · 20 MiB maximum

The URL of the image to generate the video from.

PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF · 20 MiB maximum

The URL of the image to use as the end of the video.
Whether to generate audio for the video.
01
The strength of the end image to use for the video generation. Range: 0 to 1.
The quality of the generated video. Allowed values: low, medium, high, maximum.
The size of the generated video. Allowed values: auto, square_hd, square, portrait_4_3, portrait_16_9, landscape_4_3, landscape_16_9.
9481
The number of frames to generate. Range: 9 to 481.
The camera LoRA to use. This allows you to control the camera movement of the generated video more accurately than just prompting the model to move the camera. Allowed values: dolly_in, dolly_out, dolly_left, dolly_right, jib_up, jib_down, static, none.
Whether to use multi-scale generation. If True, the model will generate the video at a smaller scale first, then use the smaller video to guide the generation of a video at or above your requested size. This results in better coherence and details.
The direction to interpolate the image sequence in. 'Forward' goes from the start image to the end image, 'Backward' goes from the end image to the start image. Allowed values: forward, backward.
The output type of the generated video. Allowed values: X264 (.mp4), VP9 (.webm), PRORES4444 (.mov), GIF (.gif).
160
The frames per second of the generated video. Range: 1 to 60.
The LoRAs to use for the generation.
The write mode of the generated video. Allowed values: fast, balanced, small.
01
The strength of the image to use for the video generation. Range: 0 to 1.
01
The scale of the camera LoRA to use. This allows you to control the camera movement of the generated video more accurately than just prompting the model to move the camera. Range: 0 to 1.
The seed for the random number generator.

API README

LTX-2 19B Distilled

LTX-2 19B Distilled is a image-to-video animation with custom LoRA adapters endpoint in the LTX 2 19B family. It is built for creators who need to turn a concrete creative brief into a controlled visual sequence: the request establishes the source material, the intended subject behavior, the camera language, and the atmosphere of the finished shot. The distilled, LoRA-enabled route keeps that workflow explicit instead of hiding its input assumptions behind a generic video-generation label.

In practice, this route accepts image, end image, loras as creative context and exposes num frames, video size, generate audio, image strength, camera lora for delivery planning. That makes it suitable for shot-based pipelines where teams must preserve a source, direct a transformation, or control the final format without losing sight of the model's central task. Write prompts as a compact shot plan—subject, action, setting, camera, light, and timing—then use the structured fields for constraints that should remain deterministic across iterations.

Highlights

  • Still-image animation. The required image is treated as the opening visual state; the prompt describes the movement that should unfold from it.
  • Directed landing frame. end_image can set a destination composition, enabling an intentional transition rather than unconstrained drift.
  • Source-adherence control. image_strength adjusts how firmly the generated clip follows the source image.
  • Route-specific LoRA conditioning. The loras array adds learned styling or concepts to this image to video workflow without replacing its required source inputs. For lightricks/ltx-2-19b/distilled/image-to-video/lora, this task-specific control is documented alongside the route’s own required inputs.

When to Use

ScenarioRecommendation
Choose this routeUse it when the deliverable specifically calls for image-to-video animation with custom LoRA adapters, rather than a neighboring generation mode.
Prepare the sourceProvide image in the format described by the request schema.
Direct the shotDescribe the subject, action, environment, camera movement, lighting, and temporal progression in that order.
Control continuityUse endpoint frames, reference media, strength, or audio controls when those fields are available instead of burying hard constraints in prose.
Plan deliverySet duration, frame count, resolution, and aspect ratio explicitly when the schema exposes them, then compare iterations with a stable seed where supported.

Prompt Guide

For image-to-video animation with custom LoRA adapters, describe one coherent shot rather than a list of visual keywords. Put the main subject and action first, follow with location and staging, then add camera movement, lens or framing, lighting, mood, and any timed change. Keep URLs and hard delivery choices in their dedicated fields.
