What is FLUX 3 Video Draft?
FLUX 3 Video Draft is the exploration mode of Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 Video. It renders the same model at HD, from text, an image, keyframes or an existing clip, with the same synchronized soundtrack, for roughly a third of the Full HD price: 34 credits for 5 seconds, 67 for 10 and 134 for 20. The point is the workflow. Ideas are cheap to try here, and the take you keep can be re-rendered in Full HD on FLUX 3 Video rather than regenerated from scratch, so the expensive render only ever happens once.
How much does FLUX 3 Video Draft cost?
34 credits for 5 seconds, 54 for 8, 67 for 10 and 134 for 20, with sound included. The exact figure is shown before you generate.
Is the draft a different model?
No. It is FLUX 3 Video rendering at HD. Motion, timing and audio carry over when you finish the take in Full HD.
Can I upgrade a draft to Full HD?
Yes. Re-render the take you keep on FLUX 3 Video at Full HD, which costs from 220 credits per 5 seconds.
Is it in the API?
Yes. FLUX 3 Video Draft is available in the REST API and the MCP server as well as the studio.
How do I use it?
Open the video studio and pick FLUX 3 Video Draft. Write the shot and the sound, and add keyframes if the timing matters. Generate a handful of takes at the draft price. Re-render the keeper on FLUX 3 Video in Full HD.
