Get up and running with LTX-Video training in just a few steps!

⚡ Installation

First, install uv if you haven't already. Then clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-Video-Trainer
cd LTX-Video-Trainer
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

💻 Command Line Training

For step-by-step command-line training:

Prepare your dataset - See Dataset Preparation for splitting videos, generating captions, and preprocessing
Configure training - Check Configuration Reference for setting up your training parameters
Start training - Follow the Training Guide to run your training job

🎨 Web Interface (Gradio)

For users who prefer a graphical interface, you can use our Gradio web UI. Note that while more user-friendly, it's less flexible configuration-wise than the CLI approach:

# Install dependencies if you haven't already
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

cd scripts
# Launch the Gradio interface
python app_gradio.py

This will open a web interface at http://localhost:7860 that provides all training functionality in a user-friendly way. The interface provides the same functionality as the command-line tools but in a more intuitive way.

Next Steps

Once you've completed your first training run, you can:
