Generate a video in LTX Desktop

LTX Desktop supports text-to-video, image-to-video, audio-to-video, Retake, and gap fill — all from the Gen Space panel. Here's how each mode works.

Text-to-video

  1. Open LTX Desktop and go to Gen Space.
  2. Type your prompt in the text field.
  3. Choose your resolution, duration, and model.
  4. Click Generate.

The generated clip appears in your asset bin when complete. From there you can add it to the timeline or generate additional takes.

Image-to-video

  1. In Gen Space, click the image input area and upload a reference image.
  2. Add a prompt describing how you want the image to animate.
  3. Set your duration and click Generate.

Audio-to-video

  1. In Gen Space, make sure the mode is set to Video.
  2. Click the music note icon in the prompt area and attach an audio file.
  3. Optionally add a text prompt to guide the visual style.
  4. Click Generate.

Retake

Retake lets you regenerate a specific section of a clip while keeping the surrounding frames consistent.

  1. Hover over a clip in your asset bin and click Retake, or select Retake from the Mode dropdown in Gen Space.
  2. Trim the section you want to redo in the Retake panel.
  3. Adjust your prompt if needed.
  4. Click Retake.

Note that Retake in API mode consumes API credits.

Gap fill

Gap fill generates a clip that bridges two existing clips in your timeline, matching the motion and content at both ends.

  1. Place two clips in the timeline with a gap between them.
  2. Select the gap.
  3. Click Gap fill and add a prompt if needed.
  4. Click Generate.

Multiple takes

Each generation creates a new take. You can switch between takes for any clip non-destructively in the timeline — earlier takes are preserved until you delete them.

API mode and credits

If your machine uses API mode, video generation and Retake consume LTX API credits. Local generation on supported hardware has no per-generation cost.
