It makes 5–20 second clips with synchronized sound — dialogue, effects and ambience — from text or a start image.

From our tests

Strengths and limits

Good at

  • Up to 20 seconds in one generation — longer than the 15-second cap on Seedance 2.0 or Wan 2.7.
  • Sound in the same render: dialogue, effects and ambience timed to what happens on screen, at no extra cost on Kenerate.
  • Seven aspect ratios from 9:16 vertical to 21:9 cinema, including 2:1.
  • Simple per-second price: 42.5 credits at 720p, so a full 20-second 720p clip is 850 credits.

Limits

  • No real FLUX 3 Video clips on this page yet — we only show a model's own outputs, so run a short 5-second test first.
  • Not on Kenerate's free plan: video needs any one-time credit pack (from $15 for 1,300 credits).
  • One start image only on Kenerate — no multi-image references, keyframes or video-to-video here yet.
  • No open weights yet: Black Forest Labs says faster and open-weight versions come later in 2026, so there is no ComfyUI or local workflow today.

Not yet. Black Forest Labs has said faster and open-weight versions of FLUX 3 are planned for later in 2026, and the family includes a FLUX 3 Dev variant, but as of 20 October 2026 the video model runs only through APIs and hosted apps.

How long can FLUX 3 Video clips be?

5 to 20 seconds per clip, in whole seconds. That's longer than most models' 10–15 second limit; for up to 30 seconds per clip, Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3 go further.

What resolution and aspect ratios does FLUX 3 Video support?

On Kenerate you can pick 720p or 1080p, in 9:16, 21:9, 2:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 or 3:4. Reports at launch described HD output with Full HD by upscaling, so test at 720p and move to 1080p for the keeper.

Does FLUX 3 Video make sound?

Yes. It generates audio together with the picture — dialogue in several languages, effects and ambient sound synced to on-screen events. On Kenerate sound is a toggle and the price is the same with it on or off.

FLUX 3 Video vs Seedance 2.0 — which should I use?

FLUX 3 Video makes longer clips (up to 20 s) from text or one start image and is cheaper per second at 720p (42.5 vs 72 credits). Seedance 2.0 takes up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio files as references and goes up to 4K, so it's the better pick when you need tight control over a character or a camera move.
