What you can make with the Flux video generator
AI video from the fastest model in the west
FLUX 3 Max generates a 10-second video in about 12 seconds, close to real time, so a generation is back before you have finished thinking about the next one.About 22x faster than Seedance 2.5 at the same quality scoreAbout 10x faster than the original FLUX 3Post-trained and served on fal's own inference engine
Motion that stays true to life
Fast-moving subjects keep their shape from the first frame to the last, even with two very different speeds in one shot.Horses hold their stride and wheels keep their spokesDust, smoke, and cloth move the way they shouldSound is generated in the same pass as the picture
Text-to-video AI generation with no starting image needed
A written prompt is the only required input, so there is nothing to upload or prepare before your first generation.720p output, 5, 10, or 15 seconds in the sandbox, and any whole number of seconds from 5 to 20 over the APILandscape, square, and vertical framing, so social cuts come out of the same modelFollows the whole idea, even a rocket landing on a frontier ranch

What are some examples of FLUX 3 Max video?
Every clip below was generated on FLUX 3 Max text to video from the prompt shown, one prompt and one generation each. Turn on audio to hear the sound.
The mail at full gallop
"One continuous ten-second Western shot. A pony-express rider at full gallop across open sagebrush country reaches a relay post; a waiting rider on a fresh horse rides alongside at speed and the leather mail pouch is passed from hand to hand without either horse slowing, then the second rider surges ahead. Side-on tracking shot at speed. Sunbaked western palette, hard sun, warm golden-sepia tones, soft dusty haze, rich 35mm film look with grain and halation, like a 1960s Western. Every person is an original fictional adult. No captions, logos or watermarks."
The brim lift
"Create one continuous six-second Western shot of the brim lift: an extreme low-angle close-up of the station keeper against the pale sky, her hat brim cropping the top of frame, as she tips it up at the first sight of the rider's dust. Calm, luminous, natural. A lone 1870s horse-relay station on a high bleached mesa top at noon: cracked bone-tan clay, grey-green sage, silvered juniper snags, far pale ochre mesas under a faded sky-blue sky. An adobe station house with a sagging grey-timber porch, a split-rail corral, a tarred plank trough and a crooked cedar telegraph pole line. Everyone wears patched, sun-rotted cotton, buckskin, canvas and wool, sweat-stained felt hats, dust in every seam; brass is tarnished, iron hand-forged. Dry tumbleweeds bounce across the open ground on a hot wind. Nothing is new: every board, rope, saddle and cloth is decades-worn and mended. Every person is an original fictional adult. At the porch rail, filling the lower frame against the sky, stands Honora Coyle, a fictional 44-year-old widow who keeps the relay station: strikingly beautiful in a natural classic-film-star way, fair skin with a soft natural tone and only a light dew of sweat, strong cheekbones, calm grey-green eyes with deep squint lines, tall and straight-backed, dark auburn braid tied with a frayed faded-blue ribbon. She wears a sun-bleached, patched blue calico work dress with rolled sleeves, a stained tan canvas apron, a sweat-stained bone felt hat and cracked brown boots. A sun-greyed porch post stands soft in the near right foreground. Camera: a low dolly on a short track below the porch rail, looking steeply up at her face against the sky. 50mm lens impression, no wide-angle distortion. One very slow forward creep of forty centimetres. Because the camera inches closer from below, the post slides out of the right edge and her brim comes to crop the top of frame as a hard horizontal line. Not a zoom, not a tilt, not handheld. Timing: seconds zero to two, Honora stands still against the faded sky, the brim's shadow soft across her brow, skin natural and matte with a faint dew at the temple. Seconds two to four, her eyes shift far off camera-left. Seconds four to five, with two fingers she tips the brim up a finger's width and her eyes narrow. Final second, she holds still, brim edge level across the top of frame. End on her eyeline. A frame from a 1950s-60s Western feature film shot on location on 35mm colour negative and seen as an aged dye-transfer release print: rich but time-worn colour, deep faded-blue skies, sunburnt earth reds and ochres, warm leathery skin, dense shadows, coarse organic film grain, halation around bright edges, the soft focus fall-off and light vignetting of vintage lenses, faint print dust. Big open vistas and low-angle close-ups against the sky; tripod and dolly only. Hard noon sun overhead, camera-left. Sweat and dust on real sun-leathered skin. No TV-screen frame, rounded corners, scanlines, B&W, HDR or digital crispness. 16:9, 24 fps. No captions, logos or watermarks. Avoid: orange or shiny skin, heavy sweat, harsh glare, smiling, looking into the lens, a second person, rounded frame corners or black borders."
A driverless car at the saloon
"One continuous ten-second Western shot set in the 1880s American frontier, with one piece of startling modern technology that feels out of place. A white driverless electric car with a roof-mounted spinning sensor pulls up silently in front of a frontier saloon with nobody at the wheel; a cowboy cautiously opens the rear door, peers in, and climbs in as the car glides away down the dusty street. Medium shot. Sunbaked western palette, hard sun, warm golden-sepia tones, soft dusty haze, rich 35mm film look with grain and halation, like a 1960s Western. Every person is an original fictional adult. No captions, logos or watermarks."
A robot dog working the herd
"One continuous ten-second Western shot set in the 1880s American frontier, with one piece of startling modern technology that feels out of place. On a frontier cattle ranch, a four-legged robot dog trots alongside a mounted cowboy, nimbly herding a few stray longhorn cattle back toward the corral through the sagebrush; the cowboy tips his hat to it. Wide tracking shot. Sunbaked western palette, hard sun, warm golden-sepia tones, soft dusty haze, rich 35mm film look with grain and halation, like a 1960s Western. Every person is an original fictional adult. No captions, logos or watermarks."
A call from the future
"One continuous ten-second Western shot set in the 1880s American frontier, with one piece of startling modern technology that feels out of place. Inside a frontier telegraph office, an old telegrapher taps his brass key and a glowing life-size hologram of a woman in a modern suit appears in the air in front of him, speaking; he slowly takes off his spectacles in amazement. Medium shot, warm light, the hologram glowing pale blue. Sunbaked western palette, hard sun, warm golden-sepia tones, soft dusty haze, rich 35mm film look with grain and halation, like a 1960s Western. Every person is an original fictional adult. No captions, logos or watermarks."
Muscle from the future
"One continuous ten-second Western shot set in the 1880s American frontier, with one piece of startling modern technology that feels out of place. At the mouth of a frontier silver mine, a miner wearing a sleek powered exoskeleton frame over his work clothes lifts a fully loaded ore cart clean off the rails with ease and sets it down, while the other dusty miners with pickaxes stop and stare with their mouths open. Medium-wide shot. Sunbaked western palette, hard sun, warm golden-sepia tones, soft dusty haze, rich 35mm film look with grain and halation, like a 1960s Western. Every person is an original fictional adult. No captions, logos or watermarks."

What is FLUX 3 Max?
FLUX 3 Max is a post-trained video model from fal Research, built in partnership with Black Forest Labs on FLUX 3. It generates a 10-second video in about 12 seconds and is tied for #1 in image-to-video quality on Artificial Analysis's preliminary arena. Generate from text on this page, or use the image-to-video playground to animate a still.
What is a post-trained model?
A post-trained model starts from an existing base model and keeps training it on new data and objectives, rather than training from scratch. The base model supplies its general knowledge of motion, light and composition; post-training sharpens specific behaviors on top of it, such as following prompts more closely or producing more polished video. fal Research pairs post-training with inference optimization and systems engineering, so a model can get better and faster at the same time.
Who made FLUX 3 Max?
fal Research made FLUX 3 Max in collaboration with Black Forest Labs, who built the base model, FLUX 3. Black Forest Labs brought the foundation model; fal Research brought post-training, inference optimization and systems engineering. It comes from the same team that built H3 Max.
How fast is FLUX 3 Max?
FLUX 3 Max generates a 10-second video in 12.45 seconds on average, against 277.80 seconds for Seedance 2.5 and 126.44 seconds for the original FLUX 3. That makes it about 22 times faster than Seedance 2.5 at the same 1,139 Elo in Artificial Analysis's preliminary image-to-video arena, and about 10 times faster than FLUX 3.
Do Flux videos have sound?
Yes. Audio generation is on by default on FLUX 3 Max, so ambience, effects, and music are generated in the same pass as the picture. Describe the sound you want in the same prompt as the shot.
How much does Flux video generation cost?
FLUX 3 Max is 50% off until November 21, so it runs at $0.085 per second at 720p. List price is $0.17 per second at 720p. Billing is per second of output video, with no minimums and no subscription.
