Introduction
LTX-2 19B LoRA Image to video animates one photo with up to three of your LoRA files loaded and a soundtrack generated in the same pass. It runs Lightricks' open 19-billion-parameter audio-video model; clips run 5 to 20 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p in the photo's own shape.

Key features
Camera moves on your photo
The official Dolly In and Dolly Out LoRAs push in or pull back from the photo you send.
Styles redraw the frame
A style LoRA turns your photo into its style as the clip starts; in our test a photograph became cel animation.
Sound included
Every clip has a stereo soundtrack; describe it on an "Audio:" line.
Request parameters

|---|---|---|
duration_seconds | No | How long the clip runs. You pay per second. ≥ 5 · ≤ 20 · Default: 5 |
image_url | Yes | The picture to start from. |
loras | No | Load your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character. Default: [] |
prompt | Yes | Describe what happens after the opening frame: the action, the camera and the sound. |
resolution | No | Output size. Bigger sizes look sharper and cost more. 480p · 720p · 1080p · Default: 720p |

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.

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/image-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: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "lightricks/ltx-2-19b-lora/image-to-video",
"input": {
"prompt": "A slow aerial shot drifting over a misty pine forest at sunrise",
"image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
"resolution": "720p",
"duration_seconds": 5
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$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 Image to 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. 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.
