New — FLUX 3 Draft Mode for fast previews before full quality 
FLUX 3 Draft Mode Fast preview, then full quality
Explore directions at draft-720p cost — re-render the same idea in 720p or 1080p when it looks right.
FLUX 3 Draft Mode is how you try a shot without paying full rates every time. Write a prompt or add a photo, run a draft preview, then send the winner back at full quality. Text to video and image to video both start on draft-720p by default.
- Draft-720p previews at a fraction of full rates
- Same idea → 720p or 1080p when locked
- Text to video and image to video
- Optional native audio with the clip
- 5–20 second clips on FLUX 3
What FLUX 3 Draft Mode is for
A cheaper first pass so you can explore creative directions before full quality.
FLUX 3 Draft Mode returns a fast draft-720p preview of your prompt. When the motion, framing, and story feel right, raise resolution to 720p or 1080p and render the same idea at full quality. Use it for text to video drafts and image to video drafts whenever you need more tries without burning full rates on every miss.

Why draft first
FLUX 3 Draft Mode for previews you can actually iterate
Four reasons creators start on draft-720p, then step up only the winner.
See the shot before you spend full rates
FLUX 3 Draft Mode is built for a fast first look at motion and framing. Run a draft video from your prompt, judge the beat in seconds, and only pay full quality when the idea already works. That habit keeps exploration cheap while you still land on a publishable clip.
Promote a winner to full quality
When a draft looks right, send the same idea back at 720p or 1080p. FLUX 3 Draft Mode is not a dead-end low tier — it is the first half of a draft-to-full workflow so you stop guessing which prompt deserves the higher rate.
Explore more directions for less
Draft-720p bills at about five credits per second with a twenty-five credit floor per run — a fraction of 720p and 1080p rates. Use FLUX 3 Draft Mode when you need three prompt angles, not one expensive guess. Keep full rates for the cut you already trust.
Draft from text or from a photo
Start with a plain prompt for text to video, or upload a still for image to video. FLUX 3 Draft Mode keeps both paths on the same draft-first ladder, so product shots, character stills, and written scenes all get a cheap preview before full quality.
Draft-to-full path
How to use FLUX 3 Draft Mode in four steps
Preview cheap, promote only the shot you like.
1
Write the shot or add a still
Describe the scene in plain words, or upload a photo you want to animate. Keep one clear beat so the draft is easy to judge.
2
Stay on Draft 720p first
Leave resolution on draft-720p (the default), pick length from five to twenty seconds, and set audio if you want sound with the preview.
3
Generate the draft preview
Run the draft and watch the result in your library. Change the prompt or still until motion and story feel right.
4
Re-render at full quality
When a draft wins, raise resolution to 720p or 1080p and generate again with the same idea so the final clip matches the preview you already approved.

FLUX 3 Draft Mode questions
What is FLUX 3 Draft Mode?
FLUX 3 Draft Mode is the draft-720p resolution on the FLUX 3 video model. It returns a fast preview of your prompt so you can explore creative directions before spending on 720p or 1080p full quality.
How is Draft 720p different from 720p or 1080p?
Draft 720p is the lower-cost preview tier inside FLUX 3 Draft Mode. 720p and 1080p are full-quality renders of the same model. Start on draft, then re-run the winning idea at a higher resolution.
Does FLUX 3 Draft Mode support text to video and image to video?
Yes. Both text to video and image to video accept draft-720p. Upload a still when you already have a product or character frame; write a prompt when you are inventing the shot from scratch.
How much does a FLUX 3 Draft Mode run cost in credits?
Draft-720p is about five credits per second with a twenty-five credit minimum per run. 720p is about fifteen credits per second and 1080p about twenty-five, each with the same floor. The generator shows the estimate before you start.
Can I turn a draft into full quality without rewriting the prompt?
Yes — that is the intended draft-to-full path for FLUX 3 Draft Mode. Keep the same prompt (and still, if you used one), switch resolution from draft-720p to 720p or 1080p, and generate again.
How long can a FLUX 3 Draft Mode clip be?
Clips run from five to twenty seconds. Pick length before you generate so draft trials stay intentional.
Does draft mode include audio?
Audio is available with FLUX 3 Draft Mode and defaults on for FLUX 3 video. You can include native audio on draft previews or full-quality runs depending on the control in the generator.
Is FLUX 3 Draft Mode free with signup credits?
Signup includes ten free credits on this site. A default draft run usually needs about twenty-five credits because of the per-run floor, so plan on buying credits or a plan before a full draft trial completes.
