FLUX 3 Max Text-to-Video
Frontier video quality, built for speed
FLUX 3 Max is fal Research’s frontier video generation model, post-trained in collaboration with Black Forest Labs. It combines improvements in visual quality with optimized inference, bringing frontier video generation to workflows where iteration speed matters.
In the preliminary Artificial Analysis image-to-video evaluation, FLUX 3 Max ranks joint #1, alongside the highest-ranked models. In benchmarks, it generates a 10-second video in approximately 11 seconds, more than 25× faster than Seedance 2.5 in the tested comparison.
The Text-to-Video endpoint generates original scenes from written descriptions of subjects, action, camera movement, lighting and sound. No starting image is required.
Key features
- Frontier model quality: Built on Black Forest Labs’ FLUX 3 foundation model, with further post-training by fal Research.
- Optimized generation speed: Lower generation latency supports faster iteration on scenes and creative directions.
- Text-directed scenes: Describe how the subject, camera and environment move throughout the shot.
- 5 to 20-second clips: Select the duration in one-second increments.
- 720p and 1080p output: Generate videos at 720p by default, with optional 1080p upscaling for higher-resolution output.
- Optional generated audio: Generate audio alongside the video or disable it.
- Flexible framing: Choose landscape, portrait, square or wider cinematic aspect ratios.
- Adjustable reasoning: Select low or high reasoning effort. Higher effort increases generation time.

Writing the scene
A useful prompt establishes a clear sequence of visible actions. Camera direction, lighting and atmosphere define the shot, while dialogue or environmental sound can describe the intended audio.
A continuous tracking shot follows a cyclist through a quiet coastal town at sunrise. The camera moves alongside the bicycle as sunlight reaches the pastel buildings. She slows at an overlook and turns toward the sea. Soft wind, distant gulls and the bicycle’s freewheel are audible.
This endpoint supports concept development, advertising scenes, establishing shots and short narrative sequences created directly from a written brief.
About the benchmarks
The joint #1 result describes the image-to-video evaluation, rather than a separate text-to-video ranking. The speed comparison describes the tested benchmark configuration. Actual generation time varies with request settings and operating conditions.
More ways to create with FLUX 3 Max
Image-to-Video begins with an existing image and supports an optional ending frame. Keyframes-to-Video adds image guidance at multiple positions within a clip.
