Overview

LTX 2 Distilled is an open-source text-to-video model that converts a written prompt, or an uploaded image, into a playable video clip within seconds. Available on Picasso IA, it is built for creators, marketers, and content teams who need video drafts without editing software or a full production setup. A typical use case looks like this: you type a scene description, pick 16:9 for a widescreen format, and receive a generated clip in under a minute. The model also handles image-to-video, so you can start from a still photograph and describe the motion you want to see in the output.

How It Works

Write a text prompt that describes the scene, action, or mood you want in the video. Short prompts work, but more detail gives the model more to work with.
Optionally upload a reference image if you want the video to follow a specific visual starting point, such as a product photo or a location shot.
Choose an aspect ratio from six options (16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 21:9) and pick the number of frames to control how long the clip runs.
Toggle prompt expansion on if you want the model to automatically broaden your short idea into a fuller scene description before generation begins.
Submit the request and download the generated video file when processing finishes. The output is a standard video file ready for editing or direct use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need programming skills or technical knowledge to use this? No, just open LTX 2 Distilled on Picasso IA, adjust the settings you want, and hit generate. The interface is point-and-click with no code required.

Is it free to try? Yes, you can run the model on Picasso IA without paying upfront. Some usage tiers may apply depending on how many clips you generate in a session.

How long does it take to get results? Most clips are ready in under a minute. Generation time scales with the number of frames you request and current server load, so shorter clips are faster.

What output formats are supported? The model outputs a standard video file you can download and open in any common video editor or upload directly to social media platforms.

Can I customize the output quality or style? Yes. You adjust the prompt wording, aspect ratio, frame count, and image strength slider to shape each result. If you supply a reference image, the image strength setting controls how much the video deviates from that source.

What happens if I'm not happy with the result? Revise your prompt or change one setting and run the model again. Toggling prompt expansion or setting a different seed typically produces noticeably different output in the next run.

The shot opens on a news reporter standing in front of a row of cordoned-off cars, yellow caution tape fluttering behind him. The light is warm, early sun reflecting off the camera lens. The faint hum of chatter and distant drilling fills the air. The reporter, composed but visibly excited, looks directly into the camera, microphone in hand with the letters "R8". Reporter (live): “Thank you, Sylvia. And yes this is a sentence I never thought I’d say on live television but as of today, you can now run LTX 2 distilled”

A cinematic close-up of Wednesday Addams frozen mid-dance on a dark, blue-lit ballroom floor as students move indistinctly behind her, their footsteps and muffled music reduced to a distant, underwater thrum; the audio foregrounds her steady breathing and the faint rustle of fabric as she slowly raises one arm, never breaking eye contact with the camera, then after a deliberately long silence she speaks in a flat, dry, perfectly controlled voice, “LTX 2 distilled is now available,” each word crisp and unemotional, followed by an abrupt cutoff of her voice as the background sound swells slightly, reinforcing the deadpan humor, with precise lip sync, minimal facial movement, stark gothic lighting, and cinematic realism.
