LTX-Video 13B

by Lightricks

LTX-Video 13B is the long-form open-source video model from Lightricks. Unlike most models capped at 10 seconds, it generates clips from 1 to 60 seconds from a single text prompt, making it a fit for explainers, extended B-roll and timelapse sequences.

What is the LTX-Video 13B API?

The LTX-Video 13B API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using Lightricks's LTX-Video 13B model. It supports text-to-video through a single POST endpoint. VideoGenAPI handles authentication, billing, and provider infrastructure - you only need one API key to start building with the LTX-Video 13B API.

Documentation

About LTX-Video 13B

info Overview

LTX-Video 13B is the long-form member of the open-source LTX family from Lightricks. Nearly every other video model caps out between 8 and 30 seconds; this one runs to 60, which changes what you can produce in one request rather than assembling clips in an editor. The trade-off is explicit: output is 480p, not 1080p. That makes it the wrong choice for a hero video and the right choice for timelapses, extended B-roll, animatics and any sequence where duration matters more than pixel count. It is text-to-video only, and averages around 70 seconds per generation.

Switching between these models means changing the ltxv-13b value in your request body. The endpoint, authentication and webhook behaviour stay the same, so you can route work to LTX-Video 13B or any alternative without changing your integration.

FAQ

LTX-Video 13B API questions

How long can an LTX-Video 13B video be? expand_more

From 1 to 60 seconds. No other model on VideoGenAPI reaches 60 seconds in a single generation; Seedance 2.5 is next at 30 seconds, and most premium models stop at 8 to 10.

What resolution does LTX-Video 13B output? expand_more

480p. This is the explicit trade-off for 60-second duration. If you need 1080p, use Seedance 2.5 for up to 30 seconds, or LTX Video 2 for up to 4K at shorter lengths.

What is the difference between LTX-Video 13B and LTX Video 2? expand_more

Both come from Lightricks but solve opposite problems. LTX-Video 13B maximises duration at 60 seconds and 480p. LTX Video 2 maximises fidelity at up to 4K with audio, over 6 to 10 second clips.

Does LTX-Video 13B support image-to-video? expand_more

No. LTX-Video 13B is text-to-video only. For image-to-video with long output, Seedance 2.5 accepts a reference image and generates up to 30 seconds.

How much does the LTX-Video 13B API cost? expand_more

It runs on your VideoGenAPI balance with pay-as-you-go billing and no monthly minimum, which makes 60-second drafts cheap to iterate on.
