FLUX 3 AI Video Generator: Draft Mode, Pricing, and Fit

Direct answer: The FLUX 3 AI video generator is the most flexible magicdoor.ai fit for low-cost draft exploration: its 720p draft setting costs $0.06 per output second, while normal 720p and 1080p remain available for a later attempt. It also supports optional generated audio without changing the current customer price.

When FLUX 3 is the practical choice

Choose FLUX 3 when:

a 720p draft pass would help test motion or composition cheaply;
the shot may need optional generated audio but no separate audio surcharge;
a 20-second maximum covers the intended single action;
you want to move from draft to normal 720p or 1080p within one model choice.

Choose another model when a longer single generation is essential: Wan 3 supports up to 30 seconds. Choose Kling 3.0 when its explicit silent-versus-audio rate decision better matches the brief, within a 15-second maximum.

These are setting and price distinctions. They are not evidence that one model produces better-looking video.

Exact price and a worked quote

Mode	Rate per output second	Five seconds	20 seconds
720p draft	$0.06	$0.30	$1.20
Normal 720p	$0.17	$0.85	$3.40
1080p	$0.29	$1.45	$5.80

For a 10-second concept, the quote is 10 × $0.06 = $0.60 in 720p draft, 10 × $0.17 = $1.70 at normal 720p, or 10 × $0.29 = $2.90 at 1080p. Turning generated audio on or off does not currently alter those prices. Every submitted generation is a separate charged run.

Draft is a cost and settings choice, not a promise about creative quality or production readiness.

Start from text or one image

Text start

Use the text-to-video workflow when the model should establish the composition. A draft test works best when the prompt describes one shot clearly.

A glass perfume bottle on black stone, a narrow beam of light moving across the surface, slow clockwise camera orbit, dark studio background, restrained premium motion.

Image start

Use the image-to-video workflow when the product, character, or first frame already exists. Attach one uploaded or saved image and focus the prompt on movement.

Move the camera slowly clockwise around the bottle while the highlight travels across the glass. Keep the background still and the product centered.

The image guides the opening composition. It does not guarantee that every fine detail, edge, crop, or piece of text remains unchanged.

Troubleshoot a FLUX 3 test

If the result has this problem	Change one thing next
The first idea is too expensive to explore	Use five seconds at 720p draft
Draft confirms the direction	Compare normal 720p or 1080p for the next run
Motion feels chaotic	Keep one subject action and one camera instruction
Source-image details drift	Lower the motion intensity and simplify the source
Audio is not needed	Turn it off even though the current quote is unchanged
The shot needs more than 20 seconds	Choose Wan 3 if its other controls fit

Access and billing before you continue

An active or trialing subscription is required to generate. Usage comes from included credit or account balance, and the full quote is shown before each run. Up to three video jobs can reserve funds concurrently. Completed videos remain in your private library until deleted.

Anonymous visitors are asked to sign in when they open the creator. Check that draft is used only with 720p, then review the quote before submitting.
