lightricks/ltx-2.3-fast/text-to-video

Ltx 2.3 Fast by Lightricks - generate cinematic videos from text descriptions with AI. Create high-quality video content with natural motion, camera control, and optional audio generation.

Input
The prompt to use for the generated video
The aspect ratio of the generated image. Allowed values: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16.
The resolution of the generated video Allowed values: 1080p, 1440p, 2160p.
The duration of the generated video in seconds. The fast model supports 6-20 seconds. Note: Durations longer than 10 seconds (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) are only supported with 25 FPS and 1080p resolution. Allowed values: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.

API README

LTX 2.3 Fast Text to Video

LTX 2.3 Fast 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 fast 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 duration, resolution, 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_audio can request sound as part of the same generated scene.
  • Fast-route duration matrix. The schema offers 6–20 second choices; clips above 10 seconds are restricted to 1080p at 25 FPS, while shorter clips can use the documented higher resolutions. For lightricks/ltx-2.3-fast/text-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 * 0.16 : params.resolution == "1440p" ? params.duration * 0.08 : params.duration * 0.04.

When to Use

ScenarioRecommendation
Choose this routeUse it when the deliverable specifically calls for text-to-video creation, rather than a neighboring generation mode.
Prepare the sourceProvide a precise written brief 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 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.
