# 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 Spatial Upscaler 0.9.7`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-Video/blob/main/ltxv-spatial-upscaler-0.9.7.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.
## 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.

prompt = "The video depicts a winding mountain road covered in snow, with a single vehicle traveling along it. The road is flanked by steep, rocky cliffs and sparse vegetation.

## 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(
"Lightricks/LTX-Video",
transformer=transformer,
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)
