## What it is
LTX Desktop is an open-source desktop application for generating videos with Lightricks' LTX generative video models, either locally on supported hardware (NVIDIA GPUs, Apple Silicon) or via the LTX API. It includes text-to-video, image-to-video, audio-to-video, image editing, and a non-linear video editor with project support.

## Use cases
- generate videos from text prompts locally on my GPU
- animate a still image into a video with AI
- generate video with synchronized audio from an audio input
- edit AI-generated clips on a timeline
- run LTX video models on Apple Silicon without an API
- retake or extend generated video clips
- enhance prompts before video generation

## When to choose
- you have a CUDA GPU with 16GB+ VRAM or Apple Silicon with 15GB+ RAM and want local generation
- you want an integrated generate-and-edit workflow in one desktop app
- you want to use open-weight LTX models without writing code

## When to avoid
- your hardware doesn't meet local requirements and you don't want to pay for the LTX API
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened tool (the app is in beta with breaking changes)
- you need non-LTX video generation models
