TillyBoard vs LTX Studio

Generative AI platform by Lightricks that turns ideas and scripts into storyboards, pitch decks and AI-generated video in one browser workspace. This page sets out what LTX Studio is built for and what TillyBoard is built for, without claiming anything about features we cannot evidence.

What LTX Studio is for

Generative AI platform by Lightricks that turns ideas and scripts into storyboards, pitch decks and AI-generated video in one browser workspace.

Creatives who want to visualise or pitch an idea with AI images and AI video before anything is shot.

Generative video platforms answer what something could look like — often already as moving pictures. Whether it can be made with a real crew on a real shoot day is a different question: that takes shots with durations, locations with daylight and a call sheet someone confirms.

Where LTX Studio is strong

A comparison that only lists your own upsides is not one. This is what speaks for LTX Studio:

  • Script or concept to AI storyboard and video in one workspace
  • Consistent characters, objects and locations through its Elements feature
  • Pitch decks exported as PDF straight from the storyboard

Where the limits are

And these are the points where teams run into limits in practice — not as a flaw, but as a consequence of the design:

  • No shooting schedule, call sheet or equipment module on its pricing and feature pages
  • Per its FAQ there is no mobile app, and the free plan is for personal use only

Where TillyBoard takes a different route

LTX Studio generates the pictures; TillyBoard plans the real shoot — shot list, schedule with daylight and weather, call sheet and packing list.

TillyBoard turns a brief into a shoot-ready package: shot list, storyboard, schedule and call sheet that stay connected. Change the creative direction and the affected shots are flagged rather than quietly left behind.

Which tool when

In short: Creatives who want to visualise or pitch an idea with AI images and AI video before anything is shot. If your bottleneck is instead getting from a brief to a plan that holds, that is where TillyBoard starts.

The useful question before switching is not which tool does more, but where the process stalls today. Three bottlenecks come up again and again in production teams, and they call for different tools:

  • The plan comes together too slowly: days pass between the brief and a shoot-ready shot list, with the client already chasing.
  • The paperwork drifts apart: shot list, schedule and call sheet live in three files, and after the second change none of them agrees with the others.
  • Distribution eats the time: the plan is done, but every version has to be sent to twenty people by hand and chased up.

What to check before switching

Pitch visuals can stay in LTX Studio; the plan for the real shoot starts in TillyBoard.

Switching tools mid-production almost always costs more than it saves on that job. The sensible moment is between two projects, with a pilot small enough to run twice if it comes to that. Check first whether the export formats match what post and accounting expect — migrations fail there more often than on features.

Frequently asked

Is TillyBoard a replacement for LTX Studio?

That depends on what you use LTX Studio for. LTX Studio generates the pictures; TillyBoard plans the real shoot — shot list, schedule with daylight and weather, call sheet and packing list.

Can both be used together?

Usually yes. TillyBoard exports shot lists, schedules and call sheets as PDF and the schedule also as CSV; the Enterprise plan adds a REST API. Downstream systems can carry on from there.
