Black Forest Labs' video model: up to 20 seconds with native synchronized audio, starting from a prompt, a still image, a first and last frame, or a clip you want continued.

One brief, picture and sound together

FLUX 3 renders the event, not just the frame

FLUX 3 generates motion and its audio in the same pass, so a useful prompt reads like a compact production brief: what exists, what changes, what causes each sound, and what has to stay true from the first frame to the last.

Up to 20 seconds in one generation

Direct time, not a moving thumbnail

Split the clip into readable beats. Establish the world, introduce the force, let the camera respond, and specify the final state. Add sound where it has a cause: edge scrape, wind pressure, breath, an impact, or a deliberate pocket of silence.

  1. 01
    Establish

    Wide scale, terrain, direction of travel.

  2. 02
    Accelerate

    Camera pursuit, changing distance, rising sound.

    Resolve

    Readable final pose, environment still in continuity.

Four starting points

FLUX 3 takes the brief from wherever you are

The same written brief drives every mode. What changes is how much of the shot you have already decided — nothing at all, one frame, both ends, or an approved take that needs to keep going.

A written brief

Text to video

Nothing but the prompt. Best when the world, camera, and sound are still open and you want the model to propose the whole shot.

One still frame

Image to video

The uploaded frame fixes subject, palette, and framing. Describe only what changes after it, not what the picture already shows.

Two stills

First and last frame

Both ends are locked, so the model only has to solve the movement between them. The most controllable mode for a beat you have already storyboarded.

An existing video

Extend a clip

Continue an approved take past its final frame instead of regenerating it. Motion, scene, and sound carry over; the brief covers what happens next.

Draft first, then full quality

  1. 01

    Run the brief in draft to test timing and framing for a fraction of the credits.

  2. 02

    Fix what the draft exposes: pacing, camera distance, sound placement, final pose.

  3. 03

    Re-run the corrected brief at full quality in 720p or 1080p.

  4. 04

    Extend the approved clip when the shot needs to run longer than one generation.

FLUX 3 prompt structure

Build one world brief

Each layer answers a different production question. Keep them separate so a change to the soundtrack does not accidentally rewrite the camera, character, or final frame.

  1. 01

    World

    Name the place, subjects, materials, weather, and physical relationships.

  2. 02

    Time

    Describe the action beat by beat, including pace, camera motion, and the ending.

  3. 03

    Sound

    Place dialogue, ambience, impacts, music, and silence on the same timeline.

  4. 04

    Continuity

    Lock identity, wardrobe, geometry, light direction, and reference roles.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Set duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and the review criteria for the final frame.

Example brief16:9 · 12 seconds · native sound

A weathered grey horse crosses a windy highland from left to right. Begin wide and low, then track alongside at shoulder height as the pace builds. Hooves compress wet grass; mane and tail respond to gusts. Use distant thunder, layered hoof impacts, breath, and no music. Preserve the horse's markings and travel direction throughout. End on a steady profile frame with open land ahead.

FLUX 3 FAQ

What is FLUX 3?

FLUX 3 is Black Forest Labs' frontier video model. One request produces motion and synchronized audio together, so dialogue, impacts, and ambience land on the same timeline as the picture instead of being added afterwards.

What can FLUX 3 start from?

Four inputs are available here: a text prompt, a single still image, a first and last frame pair, or an existing clip that FLUX 3 continues past its final frame. Every mode takes the same written brief, so one production description can drive all of them.

How long can a FLUX 3 video be?

Each generation runs from 5 to 20 seconds. Longer sequences are planned as connected shots: keep the same references, identity notes, and continuity rules across briefs, then extend the approved clip rather than regenerating it.

Does FLUX 3 generate audio?

Yes. Native audio is on by default and is generated with the video, covering dialogue, effects, and ambience. Give every important sound a visible cause in the brief, and say where you want silence.

What resolutions and aspect ratios does FLUX 3 support?

Full-quality renders output 720p or 1080p, and the aspect ratio can be left on auto or set to 21:9, 2:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16. Draft renders are 720p only.

What is FLUX 3 draft mode?

Draft mode runs the same brief at a fraction of the credits so you can test timing, framing, and sound placement before paying for a finished render. Approve the shape in draft, then run the full-quality version of the same mode.

Can FLUX 3 extend a video I already have?

Yes. Upload a clip and FLUX 3 continues it beyond the final frame, keeping the established motion, scene, and sound consistent. Describe what should happen next rather than restating what the clip already shows.

Can FLUX 3 generate images?

No. FLUX 3 is a video model — its output is always a clip with audio. For stills, editing, and reference-driven image work, use FLUX.2 or another image model in the catalog.

How should I write a FLUX 3 prompt?

Write a compact production brief: the world and its materials, the action beat by beat, the sound and its causes, the continuity that must not drift, and the delivery format. That structure is far easier to review than a long list of style adjectives.

FLUX 3 briefs the world, not just the frame

Define what exists, how it moves, what it sounds like, and what must stay consistent from the first frame to the last.
