1What its pages say

LTX Studio is Lightricks' production platform, running from script and storyboard through a timeline editor to final delivery; LTX also runs the AI Shortest Film Competition, which takes clips made with LTX and allows editing through an XML export. Its terms give the user the output, stock footage and outside material aside, and warn in the same clause that the law may give no ownership in AI-generated output. The API makes up to 20 seconds per request, and paid Studio plans list no watermarking.

2Why it is on the list
