Lightricks, the company that makes popular apps like Facetune and Videoleap, announced a new AI-powered filmmaking tool called LTX Studio today. The studio helps creators from the ideation phase to generate an AI-powered short clip to understand how a storyline would play out.
LTX Studio, which is currently inviting users to sign up for a waitlist, is a web-based tool. The company will make the tool available to everyone next month, and it doesn’t plan to charge for it at the moment.
How does the tool work?
Creators can first type an idea they have and LTX Studio will create a script and a storyboard for them along with characters through a prompt.

The storyboard shows different scenes divided into many shots. Users can change the scenes by prompting, changing the style — such as anime or cinematic — modifying the weather settings, and altering the location. Typically, each shot is just a few seconds long with customizations such as camera angles, motion scale, special effects, and character dialogs.
There is also a shot editor, which lets you rename the shot and change the settings for the frame, motion scale, camera motion, duration, and sound.
Users can also add, remove, or modify characters for the whole concept through a separate characters tab. They can also import an image with a visible face to create a character for the storyline. Lightricks mentioned that maintaining character consistency throughout the story was one of the key features creators were looking for.
Once users are done with storyline tweaking and shot editing, they can preview the film and export the file as well to share with others for feedback.
