Early ideation
Useful when the subject, composition, or visual world still needs to be explored rather than preserved.

LTX 2.3 Text to Video
LTX 2.3 text to video is the right starting point when the scene exists in words, not in a reference image. You want to define the shot from language first, then refine the result without dragging a local workflow into the process too early.
This page focuses on that broader workflow intent: when text-first generation makes sense, how to structure the first run, and how to keep testing fast in browser.
- Built for text-first workflow intent
- Good for scene planning before heavier tooling
- Pairs naturally with prompt pages and browser testing
When Text to Video Is the Better Starting Point
Text to video is strongest when you are still deciding what the scene should become. It gives you freedom to invent the frame, camera, and motion all at once instead of inheriting constraints from a source image.
Quick scene direction
Helps teams compare several creative directions quickly before any deeper production planning.
Reusable structures
Good prompt patterns can be reused across subjects once the core scene logic is proven.
How to Structure a First LTX 2.3 Text to Video Run
Anchor the subject
Start with the one thing the viewer should notice first. If the subject is vague, the rest of the prompt usually becomes harder to control.
Name one motion family
Use one motion idea such as walking, rotating, revealing, or drifting. That makes it easier to compare versions without prompt noise.
Add camera and mood last
Once the scene logic reads clearly, add the camera move and atmosphere. Those cues shape the output, but they work best after the base scene is stable.
If you need exact phrases, go next to the text to video prompts page. If you want a broader generate-now path, use the video generator page. If you already have a still frame, the better fit is usually image to video.
Text to Video vs Image to Video
| Question | Text to video | Image to video |
|---|---|---|
| Do I already have the frame? | No, I want the model to invent it | Yes, I want to preserve the source image |
| What am I testing first? | Scene wording and shot construction | Motion direction around an existing image |

FAQ
When should I use LTX 2.3 text to video instead of image to video?
Use text to video when you want the model to build the scene from language. If the shot already exists as a still frame, image to video is usually the better path.
What is the fastest way to test text to video ideas?
Run them in browser. That makes it easier to compare prompt versions and revise the scene logic without spending time on setup work.
Do text to video prompts need to be long?
No. Clear scene structure matters more than length. Start short, then add detail only after the core prompt holds together.
