Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an

LTX 2.3 22B Distilled Text to Video
LTX 2.3 22B Distilled Text to Video is a text-to-video creation endpoint in the LTX 2.3 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 route keeps that workflow explicit instead of hiding its input assumptions behind a generic video-generation label.
In practice, this route accepts a written prompt as creative context and exposes aspect ratio, 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
- Scene built from language. No source image is required: the prompt defines subject, action, environment, camera, light, and temporal progression.
- Purposeful camera direction. Camera movement can be written directly into the shot prompt alongside action and staging.
- Native soundtrack option.
generate_audiocan request sound as part of the same generated scene. - Distilled-route format-first generation. Resolution, video size, aspect ratio, duration, or frame count can be fixed before rendering where the schema exposes them. This capability is exposed by the named distilled route and its exact request fields. For
lightricks/ltx-2.3-22b-distilled/text-to-video, this task-specific control is documented alongside the route’s own required inputs.

When to Use
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Choose this route | Use it when the deliverable specifically calls for text-to-video creation, rather than a neighboring generation mode. |
| Prepare the source | Provide a precise written brief 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 text-to-video creation, 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.
