Why companies work with LTX Studio
“It’s amazing how fast it can generate ideas”
I’ve spent half my time trying to explain what’s in my head, but with LTX (formerly LTX Studio), I can just generate an image and say, ‘that’s what I mean.’ You still have to guide it, just like any good performance, but you’re in control. It’s amazing how fast it can generate ideas — it can accelerate the whole creative process.

"AI that's built for image creation and animation"
I was drawn to LTX (formerly LTX Studio) because of its use of 'consistent characters' but what I found really valuable from LTX was the ability to quickly storyboard my videos. It lets me quickly story board, visualize, and edit a sequence together as a template for my main project.

"Great tool"
I was drawn to LTX (formerly LTX Studio) because of it's use of 'consistent characters'. While their consistent characters are okay ... what I found myself really valuing from LTX was the ability to quickly story board my videos. It lets me quickly story board, visualize, and edit a sequence together as a template for my main project.

"LTX is my go-to AI video making tool"
LTX (formerly LTX Studio) is unlike anything I’ve used before. It’s an AI-powered filmmaking tool that turns scene descriptions into fully realized movie sequences, and what really sets it apart is its ability to maintain consistency across scenes and characters.

I have always wanted to make films and short stories, but lacked the technical capabilities and patience. LTX is able to take my scripts, and accurately form them into short stories and films! I would recommend it to anyone, it's absolutely incredible.

"Powerful, inexpensive, quick-start tool"
LTX (formerly LTX Studio) provides an excellent start point to help you refine the on-screen look of your story and ideas. If you're stuck on some plot points, LTX can help you see new paths. The UX is helpful in guiding me to getting better results, and suggesting better methods.

What is the main difference between LTX and Runway?

LTX unifies every production tool in one workspace—storyboarding, generation, and timeline editing all connected. Runway splits these across separate workspaces, requiring you to switch between different tools and tabs throughout your project.

Does LTX offer features that Runway doesn’t?

Yes. LTX includes a dedicated storyboard workspace and timeline editor fully integrated within one project. You can send and manage outputs seamlessly between tools without leaving your workspace—something Runway's separate tool structure doesn't support.

Does LTX integrate with more AI models than Runway?

Both platforms support leading image and video models, but LTX includes LTX-2—a proprietary model built for high-speed, creative workflows that isn't available on Runway. LTX also integrates Veo, Nano Banana, FLUX, and Gemini TTS Pro for multi-model flexibility.

What types of content can I generate with LTX vs. Runway?

Both create AI-generated videos, but LTX also supports storyboards, pitch decks, and full production materials—giving teams tools for every stage from concept to final cut, not just generation.

Do LTX and Runway offer storyboard features?

Runway does not include a dedicated storyboard tool. LTX offers a built-in storyboard workspace designed for pre-production planning and creative control throughout your project.
