Black Forest Labs made the first version of FLUX 3 Video generally available through its own programming interface and selected partners. The model produces clips of up to 20 seconds at 720p, with 1080p through upscaling, and creates matching audio including dialogue with lip-sync in many languages. It can also continue an existing clip and offers a cheap draft preview mode; image editing and an open-weight version are still to come.
