Using ComfyUI with LTX-2

Use LTX-2 in ComfyUI with visual node-based workflows. This is the recommended way to work with LTX-2 for most users.

Why ComfyUI?

ComfyUI provides a balance of power and ease of use for LTX-2:

• Visual workflows - See your entire generation pipeline
• Pre-built examples - Start with working templates
• Real-time experimentation - Iterate quickly on parameters
• Advanced features - Access all LoRAs, control models, and tools
• No coding required - Drag, drop, and connect nodes

Installation

Prerequisites

Before you begin setting up an LTX-2 workflow in ComfyUI, make sure you have:

• ComfyUI installed (Download here)
• CUDA-compatible GPU with 32GB+ VRAM
• 100GB+ free disk space for models and cache
• Python 3.10+ (usually included with ComfyUI)

Recommended: ComfyUI Manager

This is the easiest method and handles dependencies automatically.

1. Open ComfyUI
2. Click the Templates button
3. Search for “LTX-2.3”
4. Select a template (we recommend starting with Text to Video or Image to Video)
5. Press “Download all” to download the required models
6. Wait for installation to complete
7. Restart ComfyUI

The nodes will appear in your node menu under the “LTXVideo” category.

Alternative: Manual Installation

For more control:

$
# Navigate to ComfyUI custom nodes directory
$
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
$
$
# Clone the repository
$
git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo.git
$
$
# Install requirements
$
cd ComfyUI-LTXVideo
$
pip install -r requirements.txt

For portable/embedded ComfyUI installations:

$
.\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r .\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-LTXVideo\requirements.txt

After installation, restart ComfyUI to load the new nodes.

Verifying Installation

After restarting ComfyUI:

1. Right-click in the canvas
2. Navigate to Add Node → LTXVideo
3. You should see categories like:
   • LTXVideo/loaders
   • LTXVideo/samplers
   • LTXVideo/conditioning
   • LTXVideo/utils

If you don’t see these, check the ComfyUI console for error messages.

Models

Automatic Download (Recommended)

The LTX-2 nodes will automatically download required models on first use. Simply load a workflow and click “Queue Prompt” - the nodes will handle downloading.

Manual Download

If you prefer to download models manually or need offline installation:

Base Models

Download from Hugging Face:

For beginners (recommended):

$
# 22B Distilled model
$
huggingface-cli download Lightricks/LTX-2.3 \
>
  --include "ltx-2.3-22b-distilled-1.1.safetensors" \
>
  --local-dir ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/LTX-Video

For maximum quality:

$
# 22B Full model
$
huggingface-cli download Lightricks/LTX-2.3 \
>
  --include "ltx-2.3-22b-dev.safetensors" \
>
  --local-dir ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/LTX-Video

Text Encoder

Install the Gemma 3 encoder using ComfyUI Manager:

1. Open ComfyUI Manager
2. Search for “gemma-3-12b-it”
3. Install the model

Or download manually from Hugging Face.

Loading and Using Workflows

Loading a Workflow

1. In ComfyUI, click Workflows
2. Navigate to custom_nodes/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/example_workflows/
3. Select a .json workflow file
4. Click Open

Modifying Parameters

Click any node to see its parameters in the sidebar:

1. Text prompts: Click text encode nodes
2. Generation settings: Click sampler nodes
3. Output settings: Click save nodes

Running a Workflow

1. Configure your prompt and settings
2. Click Queue Prompt (or press Ctrl+Enter)
3. Watch the progress bar
4. Find output in your ComfyUI/output/ folder

Installing Missing Nodes

When you load a workflow with missing nodes:

1. ComfyUI will show a warning dialog
2. Click Install Missing Custom Nodes
3. ComfyUI Manager will install automatically
4. Restart ComfyUI after installation

Or install manually:

$
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
$
git clone [repository-url]
$
cd [node-folder]
$
pip install -r requirements.txt

Example Workflows

The ComfyUI-LTXVideo installation includes a number of example workflows. Find them at:

ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/example_workflows/

LTX-2.3 workflows:

• Text/image to video full/distilled model; single stage
• Text/image to video distilled model; two stages (with upsampling)
• IC-LoRA distilled model depth + human pose + edges
• IC-LoRA distilled model I2V motion tracking

Workflow Tips

Starting a new project:

1. Load a basic workflow first
2. Test with low resolution (480×720)
3. Use fewer frames (41-81) for speed
4. Increase quality once satisfied

Memory management:

• Close unused workflows
• Clear cache between large generations
• Use FP8 models for VRAM savings
• Process in batches if generating multiple videos

Iteration workflow:

1. Start with distilled model (fast)
2. Iterate on prompt and composition
3. Switch to full model for final render
4. Use upscaler for highest quality

Troubleshooting

Nodes Not Appearing

Issue: LTXVideo nodes don’t show up after installation

Solutions:

• Verify installation in ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/
• Check ComfyUI console for errors during startup
• Reinstall requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Restart ComfyUI completely (close and reopen, not just refresh)
• Try manual installation method if ComfyUI Manager failed
• Check Python version (should be 3.10+)

Workflow Errors

Issue: Workflow loads but shows red nodes or errors

Solutions:

• Missing nodes: Click “Install Missing Custom Nodes” in the error dialog
• Update ComfyUI: Make sure you’re on the latest version
• Update LTXVideo nodes:

  $
  cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-LTXVideo
  $
  git pull
  $
  pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
• Check model paths: Verify models are in correct locations
• Incompatible workflow: Some older workflows may need updates for newer node versions

Missing Dependencies

Issue: Workflow requires additional custom nodes

Solutions:

• ComfyUI will show a list of missing nodes when loading
• Click “Install Missing Custom Nodes” button
• Common dependencies:
  • ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite (video processing)
  • ComfyUI-Manager (node management)
  • ComfyUI-Impact-Pack (advanced features)
• Restart ComfyUI after installing dependencies

Model Loading Errors

Issue: Models fail to load or show errors in console

Solutions:

• Verify model files aren’t corrupted (check file sizes)
• Ensure models are in correct directories:
  • Checkpoints: ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/
  • VAE: ComfyUI/models/vae/
  • LoRAs: ComfyUI/models/loras/
• Try re-downloading the model
• Check that you have the correct model version for your nodes
• Look for specific error messages in the ComfyUI console

Advanced Features

Custom Workflow Creation

Build your own workflows by combining nodes:

1. Start with a template
2. Add/remove nodes as needed
3. Connect nodes with click-and-drag
4. Save your workflow for reuse

LTX offers several custom nodes you can use. See a list here.

Common node patterns:

Basic generation:

Model Loader → Text Encode → Sampler → VAE Decode → Save

Image-to-video:

Load Image → Image Conditioning → Sampler → VAE Decode → Save

With upscaling:

Sampler → Upscaler → Sampler → VAE Decode -> Save
