Lightricks released an SDR-to-HDR IC-LoRA for LTX-2.5. It takes existing SDR footage and outputs 16-bit EXR frames plus a 10-bit HLG master. No prompt required. The EXR output provides a path into grading and finishing. Missing highlight information is inferred, so source fidelity still needs review.

LTX went from 1.7% to 25.4% of video endpoints on Runpod in 9 months. That’s 15x growth. When compute gets scarce, developers stop building everything and start building what's actually hard.
LTX grew from 1.7% to 25.4% of Runpod video endpoints in eight months. That's a gain of 23.7 percentage points and a nearly 15x increase. No video model outside Wan and LTX reaches 2%. The full data: runpod.io/reports/fall-2026-… @ltx_io

I've never seen any model handle see-through objects so well, kind of mind blowing
LTX just dropped LTX-2.5 Alpha Matting IC-LoRA 🎭 matting beyond masking, keeping what's see-through see-through: glasses, veils, mesh, bubbles, hair strand by strand this used to be weeks of work in VFX, now it's 20s on Spaces/locally ▶️ on Spaces hf.co/spaces/hugging-apps/lt…

I trained a bunch of image models for SDR-to-HDR, only to realize @ltx_io 2.5 does it perfectly and fast! With tiled fusion it runs at any resolution, and the same goes for upscaling/refining. Never imagined a video/world model would be my go-to for image upscaling and HDR.

Rebuilt this demo for a real brand with Astra 6 + LTX-2.5 (video model) → I took real product photos → generated rotation for each one with LTX API → coded the UI with Astra-6 in Codex Original concept by @cambreedesigns

LTX's new Alpha Gen (beta) generates clean alpha mattes right inside ComfyUI, hair, smoke, soft edges, no green screen needed. Full tutorial: youtu.be/mzn9R9RJIHs @ltx_io @ComfyUI #comfyui #ltx25 #alphagen #vfx

VFX制作で時間のかかる工程が、また一つAI化。 LTXがAlpha Gen(Beta)を公開。 普通のRGB動画を入力するだけで、元映像とフレーム単位で一致したアルファマットを生成。 グリーンスクリーン、マスク、プロンプトは不要。

Any compositor who looks at this and says I won't use a tool like this because it's AI is just stupid and self-sabatoging. There is nothing precious about green screen removal. There is nothing artistic about rotoscoping. It's painful, costly, time consuming grunt work that almost nobody enjoys. And if you happen to be someone that does, do it in your own free time. No employer wants to pay for your me roto time. Speaking as someone who has done literally hundreds of hours of roto, its about freaken time. nitter.cf/ltx_io/status/21060152…
The last drop of VFX Week: Alpha Gen (Beta). Give it an ordinary RGB clip and get back an alpha matte that matches your plate frame for frame. No green screen, no masks, no prompt. Built for the edges that are hard to key or roto: hair, fur, smoke, fire, glass, water. 🧵

LTX-2.5 IC-LoRA Alpha Gen takes an ordinary RGB video and generates a matching alpha matte for it, with no green screen, masks, or prompt required. It handles hard subjects as well as soft and semi-transparent elements such as hair, fur, smoke, fire etc huggingface.co/Lightricks/LT…

Video background removal (RGB/Alpha smart split) Tested on a dozen of my videos - works precisely Right in your browser. Damn, that's good Save this damn tool for future, thank me later

Layout to Render (Beta) drops today. Your 3D blocking transforms into a finished shot. Set your composition in 3D and LTX generates the surrounding environment, holding strict alignment with your CG. Shape the visual treatment using a prompt or reference image without altering your established framing. Start from your current layout today.

VFX Week drop two. First we have the updated SDR to HDR. Most AI video tools hand you 8-bit files. They look fine on a phone, but your colorist has nothing to push. SDR to HDR turns 8-bit footage into 16-bit EXR in ACEScg and rebuilds highlight and shadow detail for the grade. 🧵

As a Nuke Compositor, one of the strangest things about working in generative AI (and there's been a few) has been producing visuals who's pixel range isn't maintained throughout the process. We're training as VFX artists to preserve that pixel data at all costs, but until now...it just wasn't possible in genAI because how these diffusion models were trained. Well now those days are over! If you have HDR footage and you need to do some generative work on it...your pixels will be maintained end to end! This is huge! Great work to the entire LTX.io team!

Restore is for archival footage. Take a 540p clip to 4K. Restore enhances color and adds a clean, sharp finish, as if the footage came off a modern digital camera. Refine keeps a shot faithful to the source. Restore changes the look intentionally.

VFX Week starts tomorrow. We're dropping new VFX capabilities every day this week. Built for your comp, your grade, your final delivery. Each one is built into your pipeline. Not as an add-on, but as part of how you work. Follow along all week.

Once the shot works, you should not have to start over just to fix the light. Our Relight IC-LoRA gives you another pass at the mood after the generation exists.

A tiled workflow I've been developing for a while with @ltx_io's LTX 2.5 pushes the model way past its native resolution. These are results of random T2V/I2V 1080p videos upscaled to 8K.
