Prompt Conditioning

Video Generation
| Family | txt2vid | img2vid | audio2vid | keyframe | retake | IC-LoRA | audio track |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTX Video | Yes | Not yet | No | No | No | No | No |
| LTX-2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| All others | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |
LTX Video defaults to APNG (lossless, metadata-rich). LTX-2 defaults to MP4 so it can preserve synchronized audio when requested. Both families also support GIF, and feature-gated WebP/MP4 outputs where applicable. Use --format apng|gif|webp|mp4. Frame count must be 8n+1 (9, 17, 25, 33, ...). Dimensions must be multiples of 32.
The recommended LTX default today is ltx-video-0.9.6-distilled:bf16. The 0.9.8 family is available, pulls its spatial upscaler asset, and now runs the full multiscale refinement path.
Backend Support
| Family | CUDA | Metal | CPU |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLUX.1 / FLUX.2 | Yes | Yes | Yes (slow) |
| SDXL / SD 1.5 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SD 3.5 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Z-Image | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Wuerstchen v2 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Qwen-Image | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Qwen-Image-Edit | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| LTX Video | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| LTX-2 | Yes | Not yet | Correctness-only |
LTX-2 is CUDA-only for real generation
LTX-2 / LTX-2.3 does not support Apple Metal in this release. The native runtime runs on CUDA; the CPU path exists for correctness-oriented coverage and can be extremely slow. On macOS you can still use every other family through the Metal backend — LTX-2 is the only family that is currently CUDA-gated.
Notes
- ControlNet is currently available only for SD 1.5.
- General LoRA adapters are currently available only for FLUX models; LTX-2 has its own stacked video-adapter path plus camera-control presets.
- LTX-2 adds stacked LoRAs plus camera-control presets for the published 19B adapters.
--schedulerapplies only to SD 1.5 and SDXL.- Negative prompts are meaningful for CFG-based families and ignored by FLUX, Z-Image, and Flux.2 Klein.
qwen-image-editis a distinct edit family, not a standard img2img mode.- The CLI and API support multiple ordered input images for
qwen-image-edit; the TUI keeps the edit flow to a single source image in v1. qwen-image-editcan use quantized--qwen2-variantlanguage weights while still loading the Qwen2.5-VL vision tower for image conditioning.- LTX-2 now wires
x2spatial upscaling across the family,x1.5spatial upscaling forltx-2.3-*, andx2temporal upscaling in the native runtime. - LTX-2's native CUDA path is validated across text+audio-video, image-to-video, audio-to-video, keyframe, retake, public IC-LoRA, spatial upscale, and temporal upscale workflows.
- LTX-2 is CUDA-only for real generation: CPU is correctness-only, and Metal is not supported in this release.
