Every example lists the full prompt and settings so you can reproduce it in the Playground.
One sentence — the pour, the leaf pattern, morning light, clinking cups — gives a 6-second clip with sound on default settings.
Prompt
A barista pours steamed milk into a latte, creating a leaf pattern, close-up, soft morning light through a café window, gentle clinking cups and café ambience
9:16, 1080p, 4 seconds — the tracking shot, wind and wheel noise come out together, ready for short-video feeds.
Prompt
A skateboarder carves down an empty coastal road at sunset, tracking shot from behind, wind noise and wheels rolling on asphalt
Slow motion, rim light and a bass hit — a 5-second opener in the style of a product ad.
Prompt
Product commercial: a white running sneaker drops onto wet asphalt in slow motion, water splashes outward, dramatic rim light, bass hit sound
Low-angle follow, pulsing mushrooms and crickets — useful for previsualising an animated sequence.
Prompt
A small robot explorer walks through a misty bioluminescent forest at night, glowing mushrooms pulse with light, camera follows at low angle, soft ambient hum and crickets

Say what happens, how the camera moves and what you hear.
Draft at 720p with a short length, then go 1080p or longer.
Check the result in the Playground, then use the request below.
01
One clause each; the model generates picture and sound together.
Example:A barista pours latte art, close-up, morning light, soft clinking cups
02
Push-in, tracking, orbit, overhead or locked-off beats "dynamic".
Example:tracking shot from behind, low angle
03
The frame already sets subject and scene; describe only what moves.
Example:waves crash below, gulls glide, slow push-in
04
Similar composition gives smoother transitions; say what happens in between.
Example:time passes from day to night, windows light up, fixed camera

}'About LTX 2.5 Fast Text to Video
LTX 2.5 Fast Text to Video turns a description into a 2-20 second clip, generating picture, ambience and effects together. Name the subject, action, camera and sound to get an edit-ready shot.
Use 720p for fast drafts and batches and 1080p for finals; 16:9 and 9:16 cover landscape placements and vertical short-form.
Pick any length from 2 to 20 seconds: long takes suit previz and mood pieces, short ones suit ad openers and feed content. To lock the subject, switch to LTX 2.5 Fast Image to Video.
Each block pairs a finished clip with what the prompt asked for and how picture and sound line up.
Product ad
The prompt names a matte headphone, slate pedestal, rim light and slow push-in; the model adds shallow depth, metal glints and drifting mist.
Sound comes with it — an ambient pad and a soft mechanical click — ready as a product opener.
Landscape aerial
A low glide over an alpine lake rises to reveal the valley; light, mist and reflections stay consistent across five seconds.
Wind, birdsong and running water arrive with the picture — useful B-roll for travel and brand films.
People and mood
The camera tracks back at walking pace as umbrellas pass in front and neon flickers in puddles, keeping the musician centred.
Guitar, rain and a distant train sit in clear layers — one prompt directs subject, camera and soundscape.
Sports moment
Asking for super slow motion, a spotlight and a snapping net puts leather texture, sweat and background blur into one shot.
The slap of the ball and a swelling cheer give the slow motion its rhythm.
Concept design
Dropping from the clouds to a plaza reveals towers, vertical gardens and maglev trains — concept previz for games, property or sci-fi.
For a sharper final, rerun the same prompt at 1080p.
The pour, the clinking cups and the café ambience arrive in sync with the picture.

Product shots or a sentence become clips with sound.
9:16 output ready for feeds and short-video apps.
Up to 20-second takes to check pacing and camera.
First and last frames for day-to-night or seasonal changes.
One API key covers both text-to-video and image-to-video; task history keeps clips and charges together for review and cost tracking.
720p and 1080p, with 720p as the default, for both text-to-video and image-to-video.
2 to 20 seconds: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20, with 6 as the default.
Yes. Set aspect_ratio to 9:16 for vertical output; the default is 16:9 landscape.
With generate_audio on (the default) the model also creates ambience, effects or music. Turning it off gives a silent clip at the same price.
Per second of video; the per-second rate depends on resolution, and 1080p costs more than 720p. See the pricing page for current prices.
Use text-to-video when you only have an idea; use image-to-video when you already have a product shot, poster or storyboard frame and want tighter control of the subject.
Pass two images in image_urls; the second is the last frame. The model moves naturally from the first to the last frame — good for day-to-night or open/close transitions.
JPG, PNG or WebP image URLs. The closer the composition and camera position of the two frames, the smoother the transition.
It is fixed at 25fps; no parameter is needed.
The output frame is set by aspect_ratio. Match it to the first frame to avoid cropping or padding.
Use subject + action + camera + sound, e.g. "a barista pours latte art, close-up, morning light, soft clinking cups". For image-to-video, describe only the motion to add.
