Structure

A LTX-2.5 prompt, piece by piece

Write in this order and keep each part concrete. Physical detail works better than mood words.

  1. 01

    Subject

    Who or what is on screen, with the details that must stay consistent: age, clothing, materials, colours.

  2. 02

    Action

    One clear action in the present tense. Keep it to one beat for short clips.

  3. 03

    Camera

    Shot size and movement: close-up, wide, dolly-in, orbit, handheld, drone.

  4. 04

    Scene and light

    Location, time of day, and where the light comes from.

  5. 05

    Style

    Lens, film look, colour grade or animation style.

  6. 06

    Sound

    LTX-2.5 generates synchronized audio with the clip, so name the ambience, effects or lines of dialogue you want.

By task

Prompting each LTX-2.5 task

Text to Video

Everything comes from the text, so describe subject, action and camera explicitly. Put the most important element first.

Image to Video

The image is the first frame: describe what moves and how the camera moves, not what the picture already shows.

Settings

Settings that change the result

Set these next to the prompt — in the Studio or as API parameters.
