LTX Studio
Storyboard-first AI video platform from Lightricks with shot-level camera and character control.
Pick LTX Studio if you want to storyboard and direct a multi-shot AI film or ad with camera control and consistent characters, not just generate one-off clips.
Skip it if you just want a fast text-to-clip generator or a lightweight social-video tool with minimal setup.
LTX Studio is Lightricks' AI video-generation platform, aimed at filmmakers, marketers, and storyboard artists who want more than a single-prompt clip. Rather than dumping out one anonymous shot, the tool structures projects around scenes, sequences, characters, and camera framing, so you can build a coherent short film or ad spot with consistent characters and controlled shot composition. It has become one of the more serious 'AI pre-production' tools since its 2024 launch.
What sets LTX Studio apart is the multi-model backend. Under the hood it runs Lightricks' own open-source LTX-2 and LTXV-13B models plus third-party engines like Google DeepMind's Veo 3 (with audio, lip sync, and ambient sound) and Flux.2 for stills. Pricing is subscription-based with a free tier for exploration and paid plans for higher-resolution exports, longer sequences, and commercial use. It's aimed squarely at people who want to storyboard and iterate, not at users who just want a quick meme clip.
An API is available via the broader LTX ecosystem, and the core LTX models are open-source, which is unusual in this space and appeals to teams that want to self-host or fine-tune. Caveats: outputs still have the usual AI-video tells on complex motion, and heavy use of premium models like Veo 3 can burn credits quickly.
LTX Studio is one of the few AI video tools that respects how filmmakers actually think, with storyboards, scenes, and shot framing at the center. The open-source LTX models plus access to Veo 3 in one UI is a strong combination. It's overkill for casual users, but for creative teams doing pre-viz it's a serious contender.
