**Highlights**: Latte is a latent diffusion transformer proposed as a backbone for modeling different modalities (trained for text-to-video generation here). It achieves state-of-the-art performance across four standard video benchmarks - [FaceForensics](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.09179), [SkyTimelapse](https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.07592), [UCF101](https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.0402) and [Taichi-HD](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.00196).
