FLUX 3 Max builds short clips from text, a start image, or keyframes, with optional audio at 720p or 1080p.

Start image. PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
Describe what should move after the start frame, including camera and sound.
Optional last frame. PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Leave empty to let the clip end on its own.
Output frame shape. auto follows the first image.
Output resolution. 720p is the default. 1080p is the sharper option.
Clip length in whole seconds.
Create an audio track with the video. Turn this off for a silent clip.
low returns sooner. high spends more time on the prompt and is slower.
Optional. Leave empty and the model picks a random seed.
Idle
The rate is $0.05 per second at 720p, and $0.08 per second at 1080p.

Introduction To FLUX 3 Max

Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 Max turns a prompt, a start image, or up to ten keyframes into a 5-20 second clip at 720p or 1080p.\nTrading slow base-model waits for tighter prompt adherence and quicker shots, FLUX 3 Max helps ad, previz, and product teams revise a take in one pass.\nFor developers, FLUX 3 Max on RunComfy can be used both in the browser and via an HTTP API, so you don't need to host or scale the model yourself.\nIdeal for: Prompt-Led Scene Drafts | Still-to-Motion Product Shots | Keyframe Story Beats

Why Choose FLUX 3 Max#


FLUX 3 Max is a later training pass on Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 video foundation. The extra work targets sharper pictures, motion that holds together, and closer obedience to the prompt, with a shorter wait than the base model. That is the published aim of FLUX 3 Max.


A preliminary image-to-video board on Artificial Analysis Video Arena reported Elo 1,139 across 4,868 votes. The published note says those confidence intervals overlap other models at the top of that board, so treat the result as a shared top tier. The original FLUX 3 score on the same board was 1,089, a 50-point gap.


A published timing check for a 10-second clip lists 10.95 seconds for this pass, 277.80 seconds for Seedance 2.5 at the same reported Elo, and 126.44 seconds for FLUX 3. Those figures are the source of the "about 22 times" and "about 11.5 times" comparisons. The first published FLUX 3 Max release date is October 19, 2026, and the same note said further training was still underway.


AdvantageWhat you get
Closer prompt followFLUX 3 Max was trained to hold subject, camera, and sound cues more tightly than the base FLUX 3 pass.
Shorter published waitThe 10-second check finished in 10.95 seconds, against 126.44 seconds for FLUX 3.
Three ways inFLUX 3 Max can write a scene, start from one image plus an optional last frame, or pin up to ten keyframes.
Sound in the same fileAudio is on by default. Turn it off when you want a silent picture.

Text-to-video on FLUX 3 Max starts from the prompt alone, and auto framing uses 16:9. Image-to-video starts from a still, and auto framing follows that still. Keyframes-to-video places 1 to 10 PNG, JPEG, or WebP images on a 24 fps timeline. Each frame index must be unique, and it cannot pass duration times 24.


On RunComfy this page is the image start. The text-only page and the multi-keyframe page call the same FLUX 3 Max weights with different inputs.


Best Use Cases#


  • Written scenes: Open the text-to-video page when you have a brief and no still. FLUX 3 Max can draft ads, establishing shots, and short story beats from that brief.
  • A locked opening: Use this image-to-video page when a photo, illustration, or generated still should be the first frame.
  • A known ending: Add an optional end image when FLUX 3 Max should land the last frame on a second still.
  • Storyboard beats: Use the keyframes page when several moments must land on chosen frame numbers. FLUX 3 Max accepts up to ten of those anchors.
  • Sound-led spots: Leave audio on and name the noises you want, from room tone to a specific line.

Teams reuse one FLUX 3 Max setup when the same job starts as a script, a still, or a storyboard.


How It Works#


  1. Open FLUX 3 Max on RunComfy. This page starts from an image. Use the text-to-video page for a prompt-only clip, or the keyframes page for several timed stills.
  2. Upload a start image in PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Keep the subject large and the light even.
  3. Write what changes after that frame for FLUX 3 Max: one camera move, the action in order, and the sound.
  4. Add an end image only if the clip should finish on a second still. Leave it empty otherwise.
  5. Set duration from 5 to 20 seconds. The default on FLUX 3 Max is 5. Choose 720p while you explore, then 1080p for the keep.
  6. Leave reasoning on high when several details must all appear. Switch to low when you want a faster pass.
  7. Keep audio on or turn it off. Leave seed empty for a new take, or set it when you want a closer repeat.
  8. Review the clip, then send the same image, prompt, and settings for FLUX 3 Max through the HTTP API.

Parameters#


These controls belong to the image-to-video pass of FLUX 3 Max. The text-to-video page drops both image fields. The keyframes page replaces them with up to ten frame-indexed images.

Pricing#


Billing follows the length of the generated clip and the resolution you pick. The same FLUX 3 Max rates apply on the text, image, and keyframe pages.


ResolutionRate
720p$0.05 per second
1080p$0.08 per second

Duration720p1080p
5 s$0.25$0.40
10 s$0.50$0.80
20 s$1.00$1.60

There is no separate per-image fee for a start frame, an end frame, or keyframe stills. A 5-second 720p file is the shortest standard charge on FLUX 3 Max.


Prompting & Reference Tips#


  • One camera move: Name a slow push-in or a locked frame. FLUX 3 Max follows a second move only when you give it its own verb.
  • Action in order: Write the beats with "then" so a five-second clip still has a start, middle, and end.
  • Point at the still: The image already shows the subject. Tell FLUX 3 Max what that subject does next.
  • Secondary motion: Give the room something small to do, such as a curtain, steam, or a shifting shadow.
  • Name the sound: List a few specific noises. FLUX 3 Max often stays quiet when audio is left implicit.
  • Match the end still: If you set an end image, describe the move that connects the two frames.
  • Several timed stills: Switch to the keyframes page. FLUX 3 Max wants a unique frame index on each image there.
  • Draft at 720p: Confirm the motion, then rerun the same prompt at 1080p.

How FLUX 3 Max Compares#


Based on publicly reported preliminary evaluations. Length limits below are the published input ranges, not a scored ranking.

Seedance 2.5Multimodal video generationDepends on that model's own settingsSame reported Elo in the cited comparison, with a 277.80 second timing for a 10-second clip

Stay with FLUX 3 when you need an extend-video pass or an auto duration. Use FLUX 3 Max when you want the later training pass and the shorter published wait. This release does not offer extend or auto length.
