LTX Director 2.0 landed on June 20, 2026, a free, open-source ComfyUI node that turns Lightricks' LTX 2.3 video model into a full timeline-based editor. Built by the solo developer known as WhatDreamsCost, the 2.0 release is a complete overhaul that adds video trimming, splitting, and combining, plus IC-LoRA support, a Retake Mode for re-rolling individual shots, and audio inpainting. The node is distributed through the developer's WhatDreamsCost-ComfyUI repository and installs directly through ComfyUI Manager.

What Happened

Version 2.0 reworks LTX Director from a sequencing helper into an all-in-one video workstation inside ComfyUI. Clips now appear as draggable blocks on a visual timeline, where you set per-segment prompts and lengths, snap edits together, and save or load the whole arrangement as a JSON file. The developer shipped the release alongside a walkthrough trailer and pushed two hotfixes within a day to stabilize the new subgraph workflow.

Why It Matters

Most open-source AI video tools stop at generation: you write a prompt, wait, and accept whatever comes back. LTX Director treats generation as one step in an editable workflow, closer to how creators actually work in a non-linear editor. It builds on the open foundation Lightricks released with LTX 2.3, which shipped with open weights and reference ComfyUI workflows, as ComfyUI documented for the LTX-2 line. For creators who want local, no-subscription video, that level of control is the difference between a novelty and a usable pipeline.

Key Details

  • Full editing: trim, split, and combine clips, then extend video using prompts, keyframes, and audio together.
  • IC-LoRA support: drag and drop a reference video to set up an IC-LoRA pass quickly.
  • Retake Mode (beta): regenerate a single segment without re-rendering the whole sequence.
  • Audio inpainting: blend imported audio with generated audio and extend audio from a prompt.
  • Prompt Relay: granular, per-block prompt control with first, middle, and last frame inputs.

The node requires LTX 2.3 and the latest ComfyUI-LTXVideo and ComfyUI-KJNodes, and node references plus setup steps are covered in the LTX documentation.

What to Do Next

Install LTX Director through ComfyUI Manager or by cloning the repository into your custom_nodes folder, then update ComfyUI-LTXVideo and ComfyUI-KJNodes before loading a workflow. Start from the example timelines bundled in the repo to see how per-segment prompts and Retake Mode fit together. If you are already running LTX 2.3 locally, this is a drop-in upgrade to your existing setup.
