[Foundry](https://www.foundry.com/insights/product-focus/how-get-most-out-ltx-25-griptape) detailed the integration on November 11, 2026.\n\n## What the Four LTX Nodes Do\n\nThe LTX Alpha Generation node turns a video into a greyscale matte and an optional RGBA cutout encoded as ProRes with alpha, with the cutout toggled off by default. The LTX SDR to HDR node defaults to a new LTX HDR (ACES) model and returns a 16-bit scene linear EXR frame sequence plus a 10-bit HEVC preview in BT.2020 with HLG; users pick ACEScg, ACEScct, linear sRGB or ACES2065-1 as the EXR output colour space. The deprecated LTX 2.3 Pro model remains available so saved workflows keep running.\n\nThe LTX Reframe node re-crops a clip to another aspect ratio and generates new scene content, with placement set to center, anchor or rectangle. The LTX Upscale node outputs 4K by default, with 1080p and 8K options, and accepts H.264 or HEVC inputs with a short side of at least 480px and a maximum of 7680x4320.\n\nGriptape describes the nodes as aimed at compositors, VFX artists and pipeline TDs who already work with EXR and ACES and want to connect a workflow and re-run it across shots. Jobs run through the cloud, so no high-end GPUs are required. Billing is per second of input video at the rate of the chosen output tier, and the node checks a clip against its limits before uploading or billing anything.\n\n## LTX's Funding and Studio Reach\n\nLTX received about $150 million in investment from parent company Lightricks, and more than 135,000 producers, creative teams and designers use the platform, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list annualized revenue from model licensing in the tens of millions and describe LTX as a generative AI video platform spun off from Lightricks, serving filmmakers, advertisers, TV networks and enterprise AI clients.\n\n## LTX-2.5's Launch and Earlier Releases\n\nLTX released LTX-2.5 in August 2026 as an open-weights world model for video generation, real-time applications and physical AI, Robotics & Automation News reported. VentureBeat reported that the model, a spin-off of Lightricks, was natively integrated into ComfyUI through a strategic partnership and can generate a 10-second video from an image in 6.8 seconds on Nvidia superchips. In June 2026, LTX launched LTX Trainer, a no-code framework for enterprises to build custom AI video models with local execution for IP protection, according to [LTX company records](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0097r7q/ltx).\n\n## Availability of the Reframe and HDR Nodes\n\nLTX Reframe and LTX SDR to HDR are available in workflows now, and users can update the standard library in Griptape to find the four nodes. Griptape offers a free account, with Griptape Enterprise available for studios.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
