LTX-V2 19B Video Workflows

Overview

LTX-V2 (LTX-2) is a 19-billion parameter DiT-based video foundation model from Lightricks. It uses a Gemma 3 12B text encoder and supports both text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V). Key features:

• Distilled model for fast 8-step generation
• Two-stage pipeline: Generate at low res, then 2x spatial upscale in latent space
• Camera control LoRAs for cinematic movements
• Audio-video generation in a single pass (optional)

VRAM Considerations

LTXVSpatioTemporalTiledVAEDecode

VRAM warnings from MEMORY.md: "LTXV2 can OOM on 24GB — suggest FP8 quantized models or --lowvram"

Tips for 24GB GPUs

1. Use

   VAEDecodeTiled

   or

   LTXVSpatioTemporalTiledVAEDecode

   instead of standard

   VAEDecode

2. Start at 768x512 resolution, upscale in Stage 2
3. Use FP4 Gemma text encoder (installed)
4. Consider GGUF quantized models for tighter VRAM budgets
5. Always

   clear_vram

   before switching to LTX-V2 from another model family
6. Reduce frame count to 81 or 49 if OOM persists

Prompt Style

Natural language descriptions. Be specific about motion, camera angles, and temporal progression:

Good: "A woman with flowing auburn hair walks through a sun-dappled forest, leaves falling gently around her, soft golden hour lighting, cinematic depth of field"
Bad: "woman, forest, walking"

Describe the entire scene progression, not just a single moment. Include lighting, mood, and motion cues.

Two-Stage Upscale Pattern

For production quality, generate at low resolution then upscale:

1. Stage 1: Generate at 768x512, 121 frames, 8 steps (distilled)
2. Upscale:

   LTXVLatentUpsampler

   (2x spatial) → 1536x1024
3. Stage 2: Resample the upscaled latent with 3-4 steps at CFG 1.0
4. Decode: Use tiled VAE decode for the larger resolution

This requires the spatial upscaler model:
