Black Forest Labs has made FLUX 3 Video generally available, a text-to-video model generating Full HD clips up to 20 seconds long. The company claims its internal benchmarks rank it ahead of competitors including Google's Gemini Omni Flash and Seedance 2.0.

FLUX 3 Video generates videos with native audio and lip-synced dialogue across more than 14 languages. The model can also render typography directly within scenes, enabling text-based visual elements without post-processing. Black Forest Labs conducted Elo rating benchmarks comparing FLUX 3 Video against Gemini Omni Flash and Seedance 2.0, positioning its offering at the top of the rankings. These metrics measure video quality, prompt adherence, and overall performance across test scenarios. The general availability release extends access to FLUX 3 Video beyond early users. The Full HD resolution and 20-second maximum length define the model's current capabilities, while multilingual lip-sync support addresses international market needs. The release intensifies competition in the AI video generation space, where multiple vendors now offer text-to-video capabilities with varying feature sets and output specifications.
