FLUX 3 Max Prompting Guide: the Five-Part Image-to-Video Prompt

By Bennett Heyn (fal) ·

Bennett Heyn at fal breaks down the prompt shape behind the best of a thousand FLUX 3 Max test clips and shows it in 50 copyable image-to-video examples. The start image decides the look, so the prompt spends its words on camera, action, environment, light and sound.

Key points

  • Name one camera move and its speed; if you need two, write each as its own verb
  • Write the main action as beats in order, using words like "then" and "as"
  • Give the environment secondary motion such as steam, spray, ripples or swaying laundry
  • Say what changes in the light and what stays still: "Nothing else moves" stops unwanted motion
  • End with a Sound line listing three or four specific sounds
  • Refer to things already in the frame with "the", use one small object for scale, and ask for one continuous shot if you need it
