FLUX 3 · Image to Video

ABOUT THE WORKFLOW

Animate an image
Upload a starting image and describe the motion you want, and the model animates it into an HD video clip up to 20 seconds. A prompt is optional. Leave it empty and the model decides the motion from the image alone.

Partner node. This workflow calls an external API, so each run uses credits from your API wallet. No API key needed. Floyo handles the connection.

Model

• FLUX 3 by Black Forest Labs. The lab's first multimodal video model, trained jointly on images, video, and audio in one architecture. In image-to-video, it animates a starting frame into an HD or Full HD clip up to 20 seconds, with multi-shot sequences, in-scene text, and lip-synced dialogue in more than 14 languages.

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1. Upload your starting image
The first frame the model animates from. It sets the subject, scene, and look of the clip.
Works great with: portraits · characters · products · scenes

Step 2. Describe the motion (optional)
Say what should happen: a camera move, an action, dialogue, or sounds. Leave it empty to let the model decide.

Step 3. Hit run
The model generates the video and audio together in one pass. This is a large model, so give it longer to finish.

Step 4. Download your video
You get one HD clip. The file saved here is picture only, even though the model generates audio.

First time? Leave every setting as-is. The defaults (auto ratio · 720p · 5 seconds) are the right starting point for almost everyone.

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

Quick-start guide. Find the goal that matches yours and copy the settings.

• Standard use (most people) — auto aspect ratio, 720p, 5 seconds. The right starting point for almost everyone.

• Making vertical content — set the aspect ratio to 9:16 for phones and short-form feeds. Auto matches your input image.

• Want higher quality — switch the resolution to Full HD. It sharpens the clip and costs more per second.

• Want a longer clip — raise the duration up to the 20-second maximum. Anything past 20 seconds needs a continuation step.

• Keeping cost down — lower the duration and the resolution, since both drive the per-run cost. A 20-second Full HD clip costs much more than a 5-second HD one.

• The motion looks off — start from a clearer image with a defined subject, since a strong starting frame carries the clip more than a long prompt.

Prompt: The prompt is optional here, and a strong starting image matters more than a long description. When you do prompt, name the motion and camera, like "he slowly turns to look out the window, camera pushes in." Leave it empty to let the model choose the motion from your image.

WHAT WORKS BEST / WHAT TO AVOID

✅ Works great

• A clear, well-lit starting image

• A defined subject and scene

• Short motion prompts, or none at all

• Clips of 20 seconds or less

⚠️ May produce softer results

• Cluttered or low-resolution starting images

• Over-specified, long prompts

• Clips pushed past 20 seconds in one run

• Motion that fights the framing of the image

FAQ

What is FLUX 3?
FLUX 3 is Black Forest Labs' first multimodal video model, announced in July 2026 and made generally available in August 2026. It is trained jointly on images, video, and audio, and generates HD video up to 20 seconds. This workflow runs it in image-to-video mode, animating a starting frame you upload into a moving clip.

Does the saved video have sound?
No. FLUX 3 generates native audio alongside the picture, but this workflow saves the clip as picture only, because it rebuilds the video into frames without the sound track. You get a silent HD clip, so plan to add or replace audio in your editor if you need it.

Do I need a prompt for image-to-video?
No. The prompt is optional in this workflow. Leave it empty and the model animates your image on its own, or add a prompt to direct the motion, camera move, or action. A clear starting image usually matters more than a long prompt.

How long can a FLUX 3 clip be?
A single generation runs up to 20 seconds, which is longer than the roughly 10-second ceiling on many video models. Clips are HD by default, with Full HD available, and anything longer than 20 seconds needs a continuation step rather than one pass.

Is FLUX 3 open source?
Not yet. FLUX 3 is available through an API at launch, and Black Forest Labs has said an open-weights FLUX 3 Dev version is planned but has not released it. For now you run it as a hosted model rather than local weights.

Can I use FLUX 3 videos commercially?
FLUX 3 is a proprietary model accessed through Black Forest Labs' API, so commercial use is governed by BFL's terms and its pay-as-you-go pricing rather than an open license. Commercial use is generally supported for ads and content, but review BFL's current terms and make sure you have the rights to the image you upload.

How to run FLUX 3 online?
You can run FLUX 3 online through Floyo. No installation, no setup, no API key to wire up. Open the workflow in your browser, upload an image, and hit run. Free to try.

WHY FLOYO?

Floyo is the only platform with team collaboration for ComfyUI in the browser. You run workflows with no install. You share run history, assets, and models across your team. You pay only when you generate. Floyo supports open-source and closed-source models.

A creator animates an image and likes the result. A teammate opens that exact run from shared history and keeps going. No file handoffs. No version confusion.

For studios and enterprise teams, Floyo adds private workspaces, pooled resources, and a team usage dashboard. Other ComfyUI cloud tools run for one person at a time. Floyo runs for the whole team, with transparent per-generation costs.

Ready to try it?
