Feature of the Week: LTX Studio

LTX Studio is an AI-powered filmmaking platform that streamlines video creation from concept to final cut. It offers intuitive tools for storyboarding, character design, and editing, ensuring precise control over every shot.

Ideal for creators, marketers, and filmmakers, it supports collaboration and delivers professional results with minimal effort. Key features include rapid storyboard generation, customisable visuals, and robust character consistency, making storytelling accessible to all.

Creative Hack: Actors Feature

The Actors Feature in LTX Studio lets you create characters for your story. Think of it like building your own cast. Just click “Add Actor” to choose from ready-made characters or customize your own. Adjust things like appearance, clothing, and style to match your vision.

You can name each actor to keep things organized and then refer to them directly in your script. LTX Studio will automatically place your chosen actors into the scenes, saving you time and keeping your visuals consistent. It’s a simple way to bring your story to life without needing to draw or design from scratch.

Community Spotlight: Phil Langer

Phil Langer is a Berlin-based creative director and motion designer known for blending technical mastery with emotional storytelling. With roots in computer science and a track record at top agencies like R/GA and W+K, he’s crafted memorable campaigns for giants like Samsung, IBM, and Coca-Cola.

Now at the edge of the AI frontier, Phil uses tools like Midjourney and Runway to push creative boundaries: most notably in The Hybrids, a visually arresting series that fuses human and animal features into lifelike art. Whether he’s leading teams or exploring bold new aesthetics, Phil sees AI not as a replacement, but as a creative catalyst, elevating human imagination in this exciting new era.

AI Trend: AI ASMR

AI ASMR blends artificial intelligence with autonomous sensory meridian response to create calming, sensory-rich experiences. Using AI, creators have been combining hyper-realistic sounds with satisfying visuals that trigger those sensory ASMR chills.
