About this offering: Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 Video, generally available since 2026-08-04, billed per second of output. It does text-to-video and image-to-video (up to 10 reference images; 5–20 seconds) and video continuation (5–15 seconds), generating dialogue, sound effects and ambience in the same pass as the frames. Draft mode renders a cheaper HD preview from $0.06 per second; standard renders cost $0.15–$0.27 per second at HD and Full HD by input type, after a price cut BFL marks "new lower price", and $0.28–$0.45 per second at QHD (2K) and UHD (4K) (bfl.ai/pricing, checked 2026-10-21).

How FLUX 3 Video rates across core capability dimensions, with the task-level evidence behind each rating.
Synchronized audio (dialogue, sound effects, ambience) generated in the same pass as the video frames, not a separate model or post-process step — bfl.ai/blog/flux-3-video: "multilingual speech with strong lipsync, plus effects and ambience, generated with the frames." Included at no extra charge per bfl.ai/pricing's own footnote. Multi-language dialogue confirmed across "English (various dialects), Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Indonesian, Turkish, Hindi, Punjabi and more, with precise lip-syncing."
BFL's own comparative claim (bfl.ai/blog/flux-3-video): "FLUX 3 outperforms existing SOTA models in text to video generation by a solid margin." Self-reported, not an independently published benchmark — no third-party score found as of this entry.
BFL's own comparative claim: "[FLUX 3] ties Seedance 2.0 and beats all other existing SOTA models in image-to-video." Same self-reported caveat as prompt-adherence above. Keyframe input accepts 1-10 images per docs.bfl.ai/flux_3, including pinned start/end frames and timestamped `[seconds, image]` pairs for multi-shot choreography.
The `v2v` (video continuation) mode is a directed extension of existing footage — docs.bfl.ai/flux_3: "picks up where your clip ends. Momentum, framing, and scene logic carry into the new footage" — capped at 15 seconds vs. the 20-second ceiling for t2v/i2v. No inpainting or mask-guided element replacement described in BFL's own docs, so this is continuation/extension only, not general video editing.
HD (720p) is the default; Full HD (1080p) is available only via an upscaler pass (docs.bfl.ai/flux_3's `fhd` option), not a native higher-resolution render. No 4K option found in BFL's own docs or pricing page.
20 seconds max for t2v/i2v, 15 seconds for v2v per docs.bfl.ai/flux_3 — a real, sourced ceiling, but BFL's own materials make no comparative claim against competitors on this dimension, so no rating is asserted here.
BFL's own post mentions "multi-scene/camera angle sequences within single videos" as a feature, but this describes shot/scene sequencing rather than the directed camera-motion responsiveness (pan/dolly/orbit) this dimension otherwise measures elsewhere in this registry (e.g. Luma Ray 3.2) — not the same claim, so left unrated rather than assumed.
No claim specific to this dimension found in BFL's own materials, distinct from the general text-to-video/image-to-video superiority claims above.
Same reasoning as temporal-consistency — not separately claimed.
Not addressed in BFL's own materials as of this entry.
Not separated from the general prompt-adherence claim above in BFL's own materials.
No published generation-time/latency figures found on bfl.ai or docs.bfl.ai as of this entry.
Per-second pricing is real and sourced (registry pricing entry), but no independent cost-per-quality comparison was found to justify a rating — the registry's own closest_competitors notes that LTX-2.3 is materially cheaper at the standard tier, which is a price fact, not a cost-efficiency judgment.
Operator guidance
Use draft mode ($0.06–0.12/s) to iterate cheaply on HD previews, then `draft_enhance` the chosen result at the matching standard rate instead of paying full price for exploratory generations. Choose this over Seedance 2.0 when native lip-synced dialogue audio is the priority: Black Forest Labs claims parity with Seedance 2.0 on image-to-video quality, but Seedance 2.0's audio isn't confirmed to the same degree. Choose LTX-2.3 instead when native audio isn't needed and cost comes first; it's materially cheaper. No independent benchmark yet settles the image-to-video tie BFL claims against Seedance 2.0, so treat both as strong until a third party publishes a comparison.
Use cases
- Dialogue-driven scenes needing synchronized, lip-synced multilingual speech without a separate TTS/audio pass
- Image-to-video storyboarding from up to 10 keyframes, including pinned start/end frames for multi-shot sequences
- Iterative creative exploration via draft mode (cheap HD preview), then a full-quality render of the selected draft at the standard rate
- Extending an existing clip's momentum, framing, and scene logic forward via video continuation (up to 15s)
Limitations
- BFL's own comparative quality claims (text-to-video, image-to-video) are self-reported — no independently published third-party benchmark found as of this entry
- Explicitly an "initial version" per BFL's own launch post — enhanced controllability, image/video/audio-reference-combination generation, FLUX 3 Image (editing), and FLUX 3 Dev (open-weight) are named roadmap items, not yet available
- No native 4K — Full HD is an upscaled 720p render, not a native higher-resolution generation
- Video continuation (v2v) capped at 15 seconds, shorter than the 20-second ceiling for text/image-to-video
- No camera-control-specific claim (directed pan/dolly/orbit responsiveness) distinct from the multi-scene/camera-angle sequencing feature BFL describes
