# Official LTX Sample Prompts
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Extracted from ltx.io/blog/ltx-2-3-prompt-guide and ltx.io/blog/how-to-write-a-prompt (June 2026). These are the official examples — use as templates for structure and style.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Example 1: News Broadcast (T2V, dialogue + camera)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
EXT. SMALL TOWN STREET – MORNING – LIVE NEWS BROADCAST
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The shot opens on a news reporter standing in front of a row of cordoned-off cars, yellow caution tape fluttering behind him. The light is warm, early sun reflecting off the camera lens. The faint hum of chatter and distant drilling fills the air. The reporter, composed but visibly excited, looks directly into the camera, microphone in hand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reporter (live): "Thank you, Sylvia. And yes — this is a sentence I never thought I'd say on live television — but this morning, here in the quiet town of New Castle, Vermont… black gold has been found!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He gestures slightly toward the field behind him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reporter (grinning): "If my cameraman can pan over, you'll see what all the excitement's about."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The camera pans right, slowly revealing a construction site surrounded by workers in hard hats. A beat of silence — then, with a sudden roar, a geyser of oil erupts from the ground, blasting upward in a violent plume. Workers cheer and scramble, the black stream glistening in the morning light. The camera shakes slightly, trying to stay focused through the chaos.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reporter (off-screen, shouting over the noise): "There it is, folks — the moment New Castle will never forget!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The camera catches the sunlight gleaming off the oil mist before pulling back, revealing the entire scene — the small-town skyline silhouetted against the wild fountain of oil.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Example 2: Frog Yoga (T2V, comedy, dialogue + timing)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The camera opens in a calm, sunlit frog yoga studio. Warm morning light washes over the wooden floor as incense smoke drifts lazily in the air. The senior frog instructor sits cross-legged at the center, eyes closed, voice deep and calm.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"We are one with the pond."
|
|||
|
|
All the frogs answer softly: "Ommm..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"We are one with the mud."
|
|||
|
|
"Ommm..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He smiles faintly. "We are one with the flies."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A pause. The camera pans to the side towards one frog who twitches, eyes darting. Suddenly its tongue snaps out, catching a fly mid-air and pulling it into its mouth.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The master exhales slowly, still serene. "But we do not chase the flies..." Beat. "not during class."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The guilty frog lowers its head in shame, folding its hands back into a meditative pose. The other frogs resume their chant: "Ommm..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Camera holds for a moment on the embarrassed frog, eyes closed too tightly, pretending nothing happened.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Example 3: Dialogue with Acting Directions (from prompt guide)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A middle-aged man with greying hair speaks in a sad, slow-paced voice, "I remember after you kids came along..." He pauses and looks to the side, then continues, "your mom..." His eyes widen momentarily. He finishes with a cracking voice, "said something to me I never quite understood." The camera slowly zooms into his face. The audio is crisp with faint room tone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Example 4: Structured Prompt (from "How to Write a Prompt")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Subject:** The sun and a high-tech cityscape with glowing skyscrapers
|
|||
|
|
**Action:** The sun rising above the horizon, a second black sun appearing in the distance
|
|||
|
|
**Framing:** Wide shot capturing the full skyline
|
|||
|
|
**Lighting and Style:** Warm golden light, sci-fi cinematic register
|
|||
|
|
**Camera Motion:** Slow upward pan revealing more of the sky
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Final Prompt:** "Wide shot of the sun rising over a high-tech futuristic city with glowing skyscrapers. Warm, golden lighting. Camera slowly pans upward to reveal another sun — black and ominous in the distance."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Example 5: Vague vs Structured (from "How to Write a Prompt")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Vague | Structured |
|
|||
|
|
|-------|------------|
|
|||
|
|
| "A woman walking in a city at night." | "Medium shot, eye level, tracking from behind. A woman in a navy trench coat walks through a rain-soaked Tokyo side street at night, neon reflections in the puddles, shallow depth of field." |
|
|||
|
|
| "Show a sunrise in a city" | "Wide shot of the sun rising over a high-tech futuristic city with glowing skyscrapers. Warm golden lighting. Camera slowly pans upward to reveal a second black sun in the distance." |
|
|||
|
|
| "Make a video of someone walking" | "Medium shot tracking a woman in a red coat walking through a crowded Tokyo street at night, neon signs reflecting in puddles, handheld camera following from behind." |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Key Patterns
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Dialogue:** Break into short phrases with acting directions between each line
|
|||
|
|
- **Structure:** framing → subject → action → style → motion (shot-size-first) OR subject → action → framing → style → motion (subject-first)
|
|||
|
|
- **I2V:** Focus on motion and action — start frame already defines the visual
|
|||
|
|
- **Length:** Longer prompts consistently outperform short ones on 2.3
|
|||
|
|
- **Emotion:** Physical cues, never abstract labels
|
|||
|
|
- **Camera:** State "static" explicitly if no movement; state exact motion otherwise
