Input
The prompt to use for the generated video

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

The URL of the start image to use for the generated video.

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

The URL of the end image to use for the generated video. When provided, generates a transition video between start and end frames.
The resolution of the generated video. Allowed values: 720p, 1080p.
The duration of the generated video in seconds, up to 10 seconds. Set to 'auto' to let the model choose the duration automatically. Allowed values: 6, 8, 10.
Whether to generate audio for the generated video
Optional camera motion applied to the generated video. Allowed values: dolly_in, dolly_out, dolly_left, dolly_right, jib_up, jib_down, static, focus_shift.
The frames per second of the generated video. Allowed values: 24, 25, 50.
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.

API README

LTX 2.5 Image to Video Pro

LTX 2.5 Image to Video Pro is a LTX route built for image-to-video generation. It turns a source image and motion direction into a moving sequence that develops the supplied frame, giving creators a focused endpoint instead of forcing one generic workflow across materially different production tasks. The route belongs to a family known for audio-visual timing, cinematic motion, and shot-level controllability, so it is best evaluated as a creative system for intentional shots and assets rather than as a one-click novelty generator.

Use this endpoint when the input contract and deliverable match that job exactly. Its documented controls include end_image (The URL of the end image to use for the generated video. When provided, generates a transition video between start and end frames); resolution choices (720p, 1080p); duration choices (6, 8, 10); generate_audio (Whether to generate audio for the generated video). Together, these controls help teams plan predictable iterations, compare outputs under stable settings, and connect generation to iterative film, advertising, and social-video workflows without hiding the operational choices that shape the result.

Highlights

  • Purpose-built Image-to-video generation. The route accepts a source image and motion direction and produces a moving sequence that develops the supplied frame; its interface is scoped to that transformation, keeping source assets and creative intent explicit.
  • Creative direction. Prompts can describe subject behavior, composition, camera intent, lighting, material, atmosphere, and temporal progression so the result is driven by a shot plan rather than isolated keywords.
  • Route-specific control. The request exposes end_image (The URL of the end image to use for the generated video. When provided, generates a transition video between start and end frames); resolution choices (720p, 1080p); duration choices (6, 8, 10); generate_audio (Whether to generate audio for the generated video), allowing the same concept to be tested systematically while preserving a repeatable production setup.
  • Pipeline-ready output. The generated media asset is returned through the documented asynchronous output contract, which suits review queues, batch iteration, and downstream automation. Editors can review pacing, continuity, lens language, choreography, transitions, temporal artifacts, soundtrack alignment, color response, delivery framing, and cut compatibility before approval.

When to Use

ScenarioWhy this model fits
Create the exact route outputChoose it when you need image-to-video generation and already have a source image and motion direction.
Develop controlled variationsKeep the main brief fixed while changing one documented setting at a time to compare motion, framing, quality, or asset behavior.
Build repeatable batchesUse a consistent request shape for catalog, campaign, storyboard, game-asset, or social-content production.
Preserve source intentPrefer this route when the supplied reference material must remain the foundation of a moving sequence that develops the supplied frame.
Connect a media pipelineUse asynchronous results in an automated review, approval, post-production, or asset-management workflow.

Prompt Guide

Start with the desired result, then describe the source relationship, subject action, composition or camera behavior, lighting, style, and timing. For image-to-video generation, state what must remain stable as clearly as what should change. Use only fields exposed by the schema; the example below is structurally valid for this route.
