Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 6 of the 21 other AI image and video generators we grade
LTX Studio is a browser workspace from Lightricks for taking a video from script or idea through storyboard, generated shots and a timeline edit. It runs Lightricks' own LTX video models (the LTX-2 model is published as open source) alongside partner models such as Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance and Nano Banana. Saved characters, objects and locations keep a project consistent from shot to shot.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about LTX Studio, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's a whole production workflow of script, boards, shots and timeline, so there's more to learn than typing one prompt.

Keep it
To replace LTX Studio you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for script-to-storyboard video projects
LTX Studio takes a video from script to storyboard to timeline, using Lightricks' own LTX models plus partners like Veo and Kling, with saved characters and locations that keep shots consistent. Lite is $12 a month on yearly billing. It's personal use until Standard at $28, though, and it only runs in a desktop browser.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Lite is $12 a month on yearly billing ($15 monthly) for 8,000 credits, the middle of its video rivals from Pika's $8 to Luma's $25. But the page doesn't say what a second of video costs, Lite is personal use only, and commercial work starts at Standard for $28. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 800 credits once, with the LTX video models and Z-Image, for personal projects only. They don't refill. |
| Features | B | Script to storyboard to pitch deck, Lightricks' LTX models plus Veo, Kling and Seedance, camera and keyframe control, saved characters and locations, a timeline with sound, and node-based Flows. The whole job, from idea to rough cut. |
| Ease of use | C | No app-store rating on record. It's a whole production workflow of script, boards, shots and timeline, so there's more to learn than typing one prompt. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Desktop browser only: the site says there's no mobile app, and no integrations are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who LTX Studio is for
- Great if you're turning a script into a storyboard and a rough cut
- Handy when you're pitching an ad or film idea with boards and a deck
- Good for keeping the same characters and locations across many shots
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you'll use the results for work on Lite, which is personal use only
- Not for you if you want to create on a phone, as it's desktop browser only
- Tight if you like knowing what a clip costs, as per-second prices aren't shown
Good to know
Good for

- LTX Studio runs in a desktop browser only; the site says there is no mobile app.
- Refunds are usually given within 14 days of payment if no more than 1,200 credits were used.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace LTX Studio you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 14 of the 21 other AI image and video generators grade higher. It costs $144 a year.
What you could not
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video editor.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. LTX Studio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
