Introduction
LTX-2 19B LoRA Text to video generates a clip with its own soundtrack from a prompt, with up to three of your LoRA files loaded. It runs Lightricks' open 19-billion-parameter audio-video model; clips run 5 to 20 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p in 16:9 or 9:16.

Key features
Official camera LoRAs
Lightricks publishes Dolly In, Dolly Out and Dolly Left LoRAs for this model; each is a few hundred megabytes and loads by link.
Community styles
In our test an anime-style LoRA turned a photoreal prompt into cel animation at scale 0.5.
Three at once
Stack a style and a camera move; in our test the style held with the camera LoRA loaded.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
aspect_ratio | No | The shape of the frame: wide, square or tall. 16:9 · 9:16 · Default: 16:9 |
duration_seconds | No | How long the clip runs. You pay per second. ≥ 5 · ≤ 20 · Default: 5 |
loras | No | Load your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character. Default: [] |
prompt | Yes | Describe the scene, the action, the camera and the sound. Put the soundtrack on its own Audio: line. |
resolution | No | Output size. Bigger sizes look sharper and cost more. 480p · 720p · 1080p · Default: 720p |
seed | No | Reuse the same number to get a repeatable result. ≥ 0 · ≤ 2147483647 |
Pricing
Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.
| Option | Credits per second | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|
| resolution 480p | 2.7 | $0.027 |
| resolution 720p | 3.6 | $0.036 |
| resolution 1080p | 5.4 | $0.054 |
Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 14 credits for a 5-second clip ($0.14).
For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Directed shots
Reveal, push-in and tracking moves you can rely on across a series.
Styled series
One style LoRA, many prompts, one consistent look.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Mind the 2 GiB limit
Larger files fail; many LTX-2 LoRAs on Hugging Face are 3.4 GB exports, so look for a smaller one.
Name the end of the move
Camera LoRAs work best when the prompt says where the camera ends up.
Compare against no LoRA
Same prompt, same seed, loras empty: if nothing changes, the LoRA was made for another base model.
API quick start
Call the LTX-2 19B LoRA API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model lightricks/ltx-2-19b-lora/text-to-video and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "lightricks/ltx-2-19b-lora/text-to-video",
"input": {
"prompt": "A slow aerial shot drifting over a misty pine forest at sunrise",
"aspect_ratio": "16:9",
"resolution": "720p",
"duration_seconds": 5
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
LTX-2 19B LoRA API questions
How much does the LTX-2 19B LoRA API cost?
LTX-2 19B LoRA starts at 14 credits ($0.14) for a 5-second clip with Create Video, its cheapest task. Prices by option: 480p 2.7 credits per second, 720p 3.6 credits per second, 1080p 5.4 credits per second. Credits are the same as on the website (1 credit = $0.01), new accounts get 30 free credits, and failed tasks are refunded.
What is the model name for LTX-2 19B LoRA in the API?
Put lightricks/ltx-2-19b-lora/text-to-video for Create Video; lightricks/ltx-2-19b-lora/image-to-video for Image to Video in the model field of POST /jobs/createTask.
Which LoRAs work here?
Files trained for LTX-2 19B, such as the camera-control LoRAs Lightricks publishes for it and the community LoRAs listed under that base model on Hugging Face. LoRAs for LTX 2.3, Wan, HunyuanVideo or image models will not transfer.
My LoRA loaded but nothing changed. Why?
It was most likely trained for a different base model. In our test a Wan LoRA loaded without an error and the clip matched the no-LoRA run. Some LoRAs also need their trigger words in the prompt.
What scale should I use?
Camera LoRAs at 1. For style LoRAs start at 0.5: in our test 0.5 already gave a clear style and 1 also changed the set and the characters.
Can I stack LoRAs?
Yes, up to three. A style LoRA together with a camera LoRA worked in our test, and the style held.
Does it have sound?
Yes. Every clip has a stereo soundtrack generated with the picture; describe it on an "Audio:" line.
What are the limits of the LTX-2 19B LoRA API?
Clip length: 5–20 s; Resolutions: 480p · 720p · 1080p; Aspect ratios: 16:9 · 9:16. Requests outside these limits are rejected before anything is charged.
Can I try LTX-2 19B LoRA without writing code?
Yes. The Playground runs LTX-2 19B LoRA on your PopNow credits, needs no API key, and shows the matching code for every run.
