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
imageis 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.
| Configuration | Price |
|---|---|
| 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
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Choose this route | Use it when the deliverable specifically calls for image-to-video animation, rather than a neighboring generation mode. |
| Prepare the source | Provide image in the format described by the request schema. |
| Direct the shot | Describe the subject, action, environment, camera movement, lighting, and temporal progression in that order. |
| Control continuity | Use endpoint frames, reference media, strength, or audio controls when those fields are available instead of burying hard constraints in prose. |
| Plan delivery | Set 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.
