API README

LTX 2.0 Pro Image to Video

LTX 2.0 Pro Image to Video is a image-to-video animation endpoint in the LTX 2.0 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 production route keeps that workflow explicit instead of hiding its input assumptions behind a generic video-generation label.

In practice, this route accepts image as creative context and exposes duration, resolution, generate audio 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. The first image and motion prompt are kept separate so composition can remain stable while action changes.
  • Source-adherence control. Frame-count or duration controls define how long the still-image animation develops.
  • LTX 2.0 Pro delivery-aware motion. The route exposes output size, aspect ratio, resolution, or frame controls documented in its request schema. This is the dedicated LTX 2.0 Pro task route. For lightricks/ltx-2.0-pro/image-to-video, this task-specific control is documented alongside the route’s own required inputs.

Pricing

The request price is calculated with params.resolution == "2160p" ? params.duration * 0.24 : params.resolution == "1440p" ? params.duration * 0.12 : params.duration * 0.06.

ConfigurationPrice
duration=6, resolution=1080p$0.360000
duration=6, resolution=1440p$0.720000
duration=6, resolution=2160p$1.440000
duration=8, resolution=1080p$0.480000
duration=8, resolution=1440p$0.960000
duration=8, resolution=2160p$1.920000
duration=10, resolution=1080p$0.600000
duration=10, resolution=1440p$1.200000
duration=10, resolution=2160p$2.400000

The model card records a base price of $0.060000; the formula above determines usage-priced requests.

When to Use

ScenarioRecommendation
Choose this routeUse it when the deliverable specifically calls for image-to-video animation, 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, 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.
