FLUX 3 Video, Live on faktry
Four ways to generate and edit video with FLUX 3, each with native audio and billed per second of output.
Text to Video
Generate a video with synchronized native audio directly from a text prompt.
Image to Video
Animate a single starting image into a full video clip guided by your prompt.
First/Last Frame to Video
Pin a start frame and an end frame, and let FLUX 3 generate the motion in between.
Extend Video
Continue an existing clip from its final frames, keeping motion and style consistent.
Duration, resolution, aspect ratio, native audio, and safety tolerance are all configurable per generation.
What Makes Flux 3 Different
Built on Self-Flow technology, one model that understands how the world looks, moves, and sounds.
Truly Multimodal
A single model generates image, video, and audio, instead of separate systems bolted together.
Self-Flow Architecture
Flow matching aligns generation and understanding across data types, learning how objects hold together, how things move, and how events sound.
Video with Native Audio
Generates video with synchronized native audio up to 20 seconds, including text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video.
Sharper Image Synthesis
Improved handling of complex prompts and text rendering compared to earlier FLUX models, across styles, aspect ratios, and resolutions.
Multilingual by Design
High-accuracy multilingual text rendering in images and multilingual dialogue in generated video.
Lifelike Motion & Sound
Strong performance on facial expressions and sound-visual synchronization, with keyframe-to-video control.
