ltx2 — Claude Code skill: video generation and setup
Generate clips from a text description or animate a still image. Useful for cutaways, moving backgrounds, and portrait motion.
npx skills add calesthio/OpenMontage --skill ltx2 -a claude-codeWhat ltx2 does
The ltx2 skill creates video clips from text descriptions or adds motion to a source image. It outputs an MP4 with ambient sound, which can serve as a cutaway or a moving background.
LTX-2.3 22B runs on Modal with an A100-80GB GPU, and python3 tools/ltx2.py starts generation. Pass an image path when animating a still, and adjust the frame size as needed. The frame count must satisfy (n - 1) % 8 == 0.
Set MODAL_LTX2_ENDPOINT_URL in .env and use a HuggingFace token with read access. The service must first be deployed through Modal. Clips top out at about 8 seconds, and readable text in the video is unreliable. For title cards, that means adding text separately with Remotion.
What it helps with
- create a video clip from a text description
- animate a still portrait or slide image
- make background footage for a video edit
- set the clip dimensions and frame count
Example prompts for the agent
- Generate a video from my description and save it as `clip.mp4`.
- Animate `photo.jpg` with gentle camera movement and save the result as `animated.mp4`.
- Create an abstract moving background for an intro and write it to `intro_bg.mp4`.
