Local open-source video editor optimized for GPUs
LTX Desktop combines a full non-linear video editor with local AI generation. Free, open-source, and runs directly on your machine. Powered by LTX-2.3.
For university students, LTX Desktop enables the creation of video essays and presentations directly on their own hardware. Example: A history student can generate historical reenactment clips using text-to-video prompts and then edit them into a cohesive essay with the integrated non-linear editor.
For small business owners, LTX Desktop allows for the creation of marketing and social media videos without ongoing cloud fees. Example: A freelance graphic designer can generate product demonstration videos using image-to-video and then refine them with the built-in editing tools, keeping all content local.
For independent filmmakers, LTX Desktop provides a local environment for prototyping visual effects and scene elements. Example: An indie filmmaker can use the 'retake' feature to regenerate specific parts of a generated clip to achieve a desired visual style, then export XML timelines for further editing in professional NLEs.
For social media content creators, LTX Desktop offers AI-powered video generation and editing for quick content production. Example: A TikTok creator can generate short, engaging clips from text prompts and then use the editor to add transitions and subtitles, all without leaving their local machine.
LTX Desktop is free and open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. If you have the necessary hardware to run the LTX-2 model locally, there are no inference costs. For users without the required hardware, an API mode is available with associated costs.
LTX Desktop itself is free to use. However, if you opt for the API mode for video generation due to hardware limitations, there will be usage-based costs associated with the LTX API. Text encoding via the LTX API is free.
LTX Desktop is a desktop application designed to run locally on your machine. Currently, there is no mobile or web version available. It is available for Windows and macOS.
You can install LTX Desktop by downloading the installer from the LTX Desktop Releases page on GitHub. Follow the on-screen instructions for Windows or macOS. An internet connection is required for the initial setup and model downloads.
For local generation on Windows, you need Windows 10/11 (64-bit), an NVIDIA GPU with 32GB+ VRAM recommended, and 160GB of free disk space. On macOS, generation runs via the LTX API, requiring macOS 13+ and Apple Silicon with 16GB+ unified memory.
LTX Desktop emphasizes privacy by running entirely locally on your machine, meaning your footage, prompts, and outputs do not leave your device when using local inference. For API-based features, data is sent to the API service, and users should review the respective API provider's privacy policies.
Alternatives to LTX Desktop include tools like RunwayML, Pika Labs, and Kaiber.ai, which offer AI-powered video generation and editing capabilities, often with different feature sets and pricing models.
We're still verifying the official pricing for LTX Desktop. In the meantime, the most up-to-date plans and prices are available directly on the publisher's website.
