# LTX Video
[LTX Video](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video) is the first DiT-based video generation model capable of generating high-quality videos in real-time. It produces 24 FPS videos at a 768x512 resolution faster than they can be watched. Trained on a large-scale dataset of diverse videos, the model generates high-resolution videos with realistic and varied content. We provide a model for both text-to-video as well as image + text-to-video usecases.
Make sure to check out the Schedulers [guide](../../using-diffusers/schedulers) to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the [reuse components across pipelines](../../using-diffusers/loading#reuse-a-pipeline) section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.
Available models:
| Model name | Recommended dtype |
|:-------------:|:-----------------:|
| [`LTX Video 2B 0.9.0`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.safetensors) | `torch.bfloat16` |
| [`LTX Video 2B 0.9.1`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.1.safetensors) | `torch.bfloat16` |
| [`LTX Video 2B 0.9.5`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.5.safetensors) | `torch.bfloat16` |
| [`LTX Video 13B 0.9.7`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltxv-13b-0.9.7-dev.safetensors) | `torch.bfloat16` |
| [`LTX Video 13B 0.9.7 (distilled)`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltxv-13b-0.9.7-distilled.safetensors) | `torch.bfloat16` |

Note: The recommended dtype is for the transformer component. The VAE and text encoders can be either `torch.float32`, `torch.bfloat16` or `torch.float16` but the recommended dtype is `torch.bfloat16` as used in the original repository.
## Recommended settings for generation
For the best results, it is recommended to follow the guidelines mentioned in the official LTX Video [repository](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-Video).
- Some variants of LTX Video are guidance-distilled. For guidance-distilled models, `guidance_scale` must be set to `1.0`. For any other models, `guidance_scale` should be set higher (e.g., `5.0`) for good generation quality.
- For variants with a timestep-aware VAE (LTXV 0.9.1 and above), it is recommended to set `decode_timestep` to `0.05` and `image_cond_noise_scale` to `0.025`.
- For variants that support interpolation between multiple conditioning images and videos (LTXV 0.9.5 and above), it is recommended to use similar looking images/videos for the best results. High divergence between the conditionings may lead to abrupt transitions in the generated video.
The examples below show some recommended generation settings, but note that all features supported in the original [LTX Video repository](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-Video) are not supported in `diffusers` yet (for example, Spatio-temporal Guidance and CRF compression for image inputs). This will gradually be supported in the future. For the best possible generation quality, we recommend using the code from the original repository.
## Using LTX Video 13B 0.9.7
LTX Video 0.9.7 comes with a spatial latent upscaler and a 13B parameter transformer. The inference involves generating a low resolution video first, which is very fast, followed by upscaling and refining the generated video.

## Using LTX Video 0.9.7 (distilled)
The same example as above can be used with the exception of the `guidance_scale` parameter. The model is both guidance and timestep distilled in order to speedup generation. It requires `guidance_scale` to be set to `1.0`. Additionally, to benefit from the timestep distillation, `num_inference_steps` can be set between `4` and `10` for good generation quality.
Additionally, custom timesteps can also be used for conditioning the generation. The authors recommend using the following timesteps for best results:
- Base model inference to prepare for upscaling: `[1000, 993, 987, 981, 975, 909, 725, 0.03]`
- Upscaling: `[1000, 909, 725, 421, 0]`

## Loading Single Files
Loading the original LTX Video checkpoints is also possible with [`~ModelMixin.from_single_file`]. We recommend using `from_single_file` for the Lightricks series of models, as they plan to release multiple models in the future in the single file format.
```python
import torch
from diffusers import AutoencoderKLLTXVideo, LTXImageToVideoPipeline, LTXVideoTransformer3DModel
# `single_file_url` could also be https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.1.safetensors
single_file_url = "https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.safetensors"
transformer = LTXVideoTransformer3DModel.from_single_file(
single_file_url, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
vae = AutoencoderKLLTXVideo.from_single_file(single_file_url, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe = LTXImageToVideoPipeline.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video", transformer=transformer, vae=vae, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
# ... inference code ...
```
Alternatively, the pipeline can be used to load the weights with [`~FromSingleFileMixin.from_single_file`].
```python
import torch
from diffusers import LTXImageToVideoPipeline
from transformers import T5EncoderModel, T5Tokenizer
single_file_url = "https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/ltx-video-2b-v0.9.safetensors"
text_encoder = T5EncoderModel.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video", subfolder="text_encoder", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video", subfolder="tokenizer", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
pipe = LTXImageToVideoPipeline.from_single_file(
single_file_url, text_encoder=text_encoder, tokenizer=tokenizer, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
```
Loading [LTX GGUF checkpoints](https://huggingface.co/city96/LTX-Video-gguf) are also supported:
```py
import torch
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
from diffusers import LTXPipeline, LTXVideoTransformer3DModel, GGUFQuantizationConfig
ckpt_path = (
"https://huggingface.co/city96/LTX-Video-gguf/blob/main/ltx-video-2b-v0.9-Q3_K_S.gguf"

transformer = LTXVideoTransformer3DModel.from_single_file(
ckpt_path,
quantization_config=GGUFQuantizationConfig(compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16),
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
pipe = LTXPipeline.from_pretrained(

torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
prompt = "A woman with long brown hair and light skin smiles at another woman with long blonde hair. The woman with brown hair wears a black jacket and has a small, barely noticeable mole on her right cheek. The camera angle is a close-up, focused on the woman with brown hair's face. The lighting is warm and natural, likely from the setting sun, casting a soft glow on the scene. The scene appears to be real-life footage"
negative_prompt = "worst quality, inconsistent motion, blurry, jittery, distorted"
video = pipe(
prompt=prompt,
negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
width=704,
height=480,
num_frames=161,
num_inference_steps=50,
).frames[0]
export_to_video(video, "output_gguf_ltx.mp4", fps=24)
```

## Quantization
Quantization helps reduce the memory requirements of very large models by storing model weights in a lower precision data type. However, quantization may have varying impact on video quality depending on the video model.
Refer to the [Quantization](../../quantization/overview) overview to learn more about supported quantization backends and selecting a quantization backend that supports your use case. The example below demonstrates how to load a quantized [`LTXPipeline`] for inference with bitsandbytes.
```py
import torch
from diffusers import BitsAndBytesConfig as DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig, LTXVideoTransformer3DModel, LTXPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig as BitsAndBytesConfig, T5EncoderModel
quant_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
text_encoder_8bit = T5EncoderModel.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video",
subfolder="text_encoder",
quantization_config=quant_config,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
quant_config = DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
transformer_8bit = LTXVideoTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video",
subfolder="transformer",
quantization_config=quant_config,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
pipeline = LTXPipeline.from_pretrained(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video",
text_encoder=text_encoder_8bit,
transformer=transformer_8bit,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="balanced",
)
prompt = "A detailed wooden toy ship with intricately carved masts and sails is seen gliding smoothly over a plush, blue carpet that mimics the waves of the sea. The ship's hull is painted a rich brown, with tiny windows. The carpet, soft and textured, provides a perfect backdrop, resembling an oceanic expanse. Surrounding the ship are various other toys and children's items, hinting at a playful environment. The scene captures the innocence and imagination of childhood, with the toy ship's journey symbolizing endless adventures in a whimsical, indoor setting."
video = pipeline(prompt=prompt, num_frames=161, num_inference_steps=50).frames[0]
export_to_video(video, "ship.mp4", fps=24)
