Reach for it when you want Seedance 2 direction quality on a clip where the extra sharpness of Seedance 2 would not change the edit.

LTX 2.5 Fast

The speed tier of Lightricks' LTX 2.5, generating video with synchronized audio from either a prompt or a still. At three credits per second it is one of the cheapest audio-capable video models on the platform, and it stretches to 20 seconds in a single generation where most models stop at 8 to 12. That combination makes it the natural workhorse for long-form b-roll, social loops, and any storyboard pass where you want to see many variations before spending on a flagship. Note that it only outputs landscape or portrait video: a reference image in any other shape is center-cropped to whichever of the two fits it best.

Wan 2.2 5B

The smaller, faster variant of Alibaba's Wan 2.2 video model. Open-weight, ultra-fast text-to-video and image-to-video for rapid prototyping. Lower fidelity than the 14B variant but practical for ideation, draft renders, and high-volume iteration before committing to a flagship.
