# Ltx 2.3 Quality · Extend Video API

> Continúa un video hacia delante o hacia atrás, con una imagen de fotograma clave final opcional

Extiende un clip existente generando metraje nuevo guiado por un `prompt` obligatorio. `extend_direction` es `forward` para continuar desde el final o `backward` para crear un nuevo comienzo. `num_context_frames` (9 a 121) establece cuánto se solapa la fuente y `num_frames` (9 a 481) define la duración del segmento. Un `end_image_url` opcional fija el fotograma clave final y `match_input_fps` conserva la frecuencia de fotogramas de la fuente.

- Output: video
- Price per megapixel of your output video: $0.00241 / megapixel of output video (cheapest run $0.003 (3 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ltx-2.3-quality/extend-video`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.00241 / megapixel of output video**. Price per megapixel of your output video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.27 = 270 API credits (112 MP output video × $0.002408).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/ltx-2.3-quality/extend-video` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Prompt que especifica la continuación deseada del video. |
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL que apunta al video que se extenderá. |
| `extend_direction` |  | enum (string) | no | `forward` | `forward`, `backward` | Modo de extensión del video: 'backward' crea un nuevo inicio, mientras que 'forward' continúa el video después de su final. |
| `num_frames` |  | integer | no | `121` | 9 – 481 | Número de fotogramas de extensión, sujeto a un presupuesto de generación estable basado en la resolución multiplicada por los fotogramas: a 24 fps, aproximadamente 20 segundos para la clase 480p, 11 segundos para la clase 720p o 5 segundos para la clase 1080p. Las solicitudes que superen el presupuesto devuelven 422; reduce `num_frames` o elige una resolución menor. El número incluye `num_context_frames` superpuestos al origen, por lo que la duración añadida es aproximadamente (`num_frames` - `num_context_frames`) / `frames_per_second` segundos. |
| `num_context_frames` |  | integer | no | `25` | 9 – 121 | Número de fotogramas de origen solicitado para el contexto o la superposición de la extensión, limitado por la cantidad de fotogramas que contiene el origen. El número se redondea hacia abajo para ajustarse a la cuadrícula LTX de 8k+1. |
| `end_image_url` | `end_image` | string (image URL) \| null | no |  |  | Imagen de fotograma clave opcional que establece el nuevo primer fotograma de la extensión al extender hacia atrás o su último fotograma al extender hacia delante. |
| `end_image_strength` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 1 | Intensidad opcional del condicionamiento del fotograma clave final: reducirla permite mayor libertad al modelo, mientras que 1.0 impone una coincidencia exacta. |
| `resolution` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9` | Dimensiones del video generado, alineadas con incrementos de 32px; por ejemplo, 1920x1080 se convierte en 1888x1056, y el origen se redimensiona a esas dimensiones para la salida ensamblada. Las extensiones estables pueden ser más largas con resoluciones bajas y más cortas con resoluciones altas. Elegir 'auto' conserva las dimensiones y la relación de aspecto del origen dentro de los límites de LTX. |
| `match_input_fps` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Coincidencia de la velocidad de fotogramas de salida con la del origen cuando está activada, reemplazando `frames_per_second`. Los FPS del origen se redondean a un entero y se restringen al rango admitido. |
| `frames_per_second` |  | number | no | `24` | 1 – 60 | Velocidad de fotogramas del video de salida, medida en fotogramas por segundo. |
| `video_strength` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 1 | Intensidad del condicionamiento del contexto de origen: reducirla permite mayor libertad al modelo. Con 1.0, los fotogramas superpuestos permanecen fijados al origen, haciendo que la transición sea uniforme. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `15` | 8 – 30 | Establece cuántos pasos de inferencia ejecutar, hasta 30; si no se modifica, usa 15. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `1` | 1 – 20 | Ajusta la guía sin clasificador mediante esta escala; su ajuste predeterminado busca alta calidad y generación rápida. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Alternador del audio de la extensión: desactivado deja el segmento añadido en silencio y conserva la pista de audio del video de origen. Activado genera audio para la extensión y aplica un fundido cruzado con el origen en la unión. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `color distortion, overexposure, static, blurry details, subtitles, style, artwork, painting, frame, still, dim overall tone, worst quality, low quality, JPEG compression artifacts, ugly, mutilated, extra fingers, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn face, deformed, disfigured, malformed limbs, fused fingers, motionless frame, cluttered background, three legs, crowded background, walking backwards` |  | Prompt negativo que especifica lo que la generación debe evitar. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Semilla que hace reproducible la generación. Establecerla en None selecciona una semilla aleatoriamente. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Controla si la expansión del prompt está habilitada. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Controla si la comprobación de seguridad está activada. |
| `video_quality` |  | enum (string) | no | `high` | `low`, `medium`, `high`, `maximum` | Preajuste de calidad aplicado al video de salida. |
| `video_write_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `small` | Modo de escritura del video resultante. |

File parameters (`video`, `end_image`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"

```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/ltx-2.3-quality/extend-video?wait=20" \

    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "ltx-2.3-quality/extend-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
