How to choose

Compare FLUX 3 and FLUX 3 Draft by key specs, pricing, controls, and a scorecard across 10 criteria.

Quick verdict

Use native Draft at 720p for text, image, two-frame, timed-keyframe and Extend trials. Enhance re-renders an eligible owned native Draft at 1080p from its paired cache; imports, copied public videos and Draft Extend caches cannot supply that eligibility. The earlier Draft charge remains separate. FAST Edit uses an MP4 strictly shorter than 15 seconds and smaller than 50 MB. Output is 720p and inherits measured source timing, framing and audio. Prepare a compatible copy for MOV or HEVC and review its actual duration.
