This is the machine-readable API reference for **BLACKFORESTLABS FLUX 3 Keyframes-to-Video** on Atlas Cloud,
a unified API platform for 400+ AI models across text, image, video, audio and 3D.

- **Model ID**: `black-forest-labs/flux-3/keyframes-to-video`
- **Built by**: Black Forest Labs
- **Modality**: Video

## Pricing on Atlas Cloud

- $0.17 per second of generated video
- Pay-as-you-go. No minimum spend, no subscription required.

## Use this model from an AI agent

Atlas Cloud ships three first-party integration surfaces. All three authenticate
with the same API key via the `ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY` environment variable.

### MCP server

The official MCP server (`atlascloud-mcp`) exposes this model to any
MCP-compatible host — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose,
Claude Desktop. One-line install:

```bash
# Claude Code
claude mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# OpenAI Codex CLI
codex mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Then ask in plain English; the agent calls `atlas_generate_video` with `model: "black-forest-labs/flux-3/keyframes-to-video"`.
The server fetches each model's schema and validates parameters before submitting,
so invalid requests fail fast without spending credits.

### Agent Skills

`atlas-cloud-skills` is a portable skill package (API reference, code templates in
Python / Node.js / cURL, model IDs with pricing) for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and
12+ other agents:

```bash
npx skills add AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skills
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Skills docs: https://www.atlascloud.ai/docs/skills

### CLI

The `atlas` binary runs Atlas Cloud from a terminal or CI script. Async media jobs
are polled and downloaded automatically (use `--no-download` when a script only
needs the output URLs):

```bash
# Install (Homebrew, npm, or shell installer)
brew install AtlasCloudAI/tap/atlascloud
# npm install -g atlascloud-cli
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AtlasCloudAI/cli/main/install.sh | sh

atlas auth login
atlas generate video black-forest-labs/flux-3/keyframes-to-video -p "Your prompt here"
```

## About this model

_Vendor-supplied description. Any pricing or endpoint mentioned below refers to_
_other platforms — use the Atlas Cloud values above._

#### FLUX 3 Keyframes to Video

**FLUX 3 Keyframes to Video** generates a video that hits your supplied images at exact frame positions. Provide up to 10 keyframe images each pinned to a specific frame index, add a prompt describing the overall motion, and the model interpolates a cinematic clip that passes through every keyframe precisely — with optional native audio.

#### Why Choose This?

-   **Frame-accurate image placement** Pin up to 10 images to any frame position in the output video (24 fps).

-   **Full creative control** Combine multiple visual anchors with a single guiding prompt.

-   **Native audio generation** Produce video and synchronized audio in a single request.

-   **Explicit duration required** Duration must be set explicitly to validate keyframe positions.

-   **Flexible aspect ratios** `auto`, `21:9`, `2:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, or `9:16`.

-   **High resolution output** Generate videos in 720p or 1080p.

#### Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| keyframes | Yes | Array of keyframe objects (up to 10). Each must have a unique `frame_index`. See schema below |
| prompt | No | Text description of the overall motion and scene |
| aspect_ratio | No | Aspect ratio of the generated video. Default: `auto`. Options: `auto`, `21:9`, `2:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` |
| resolution | No | Video resolution. Default: `720p`. Options: `720p`, `1080p` |
| duration | No | Duration in seconds. Default: `5`. Options: `5`–`20`. **Cannot be `auto`** — required to validate keyframe positions |
| generate_audio | No | Whether to generate audio. Default: `true` |
| safety_tolerance | No | Safety level 0 (strictest) to 4 (most permissive). Default: `2` |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducibility |
