LTX Video-0.9.7 13B
LTX Video-0.9.7 13B 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 seed (Random seed for generation); resolution choices (480p, 720p); aspect_ratio choices (21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16); reverse_video (Whether to reverse the 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 seed (Random seed for generation); resolution choices (480p, 720p); aspect_ratio choices (21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16); reverse_video (Whether to reverse the 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
| Scenario | Why this model fits |
|---|---|
| Create the exact route output | Choose it when you need image-to-video generation and already have a source image and motion direction. |
| Develop controlled variations | Keep the main brief fixed while changing one documented setting at a time to compare motion, framing, quality, or asset behavior. |
| Build repeatable batches | Use a consistent request shape for catalog, campaign, storyboard, game-asset, or social-content production. |
| Preserve source intent | Prefer this route when the supplied reference material must remain the foundation of a moving sequence that develops the supplied frame. |
| Connect a media pipeline | Use 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.
