Prompt Guide

Prompting is directing. These patterns turn sentences into visuals.

General prompting tips

Flux 3 reads prompts like an art direction brief. Lead with subject and composition, then add lighting, palette, and mood. One clear instruction beats five vague ones — "a ceramicist shaping clay, rim light, terracotta palette" beats "a beautiful pottery image".

  • Subject first: "A ceramicist shapes clay on a wheel" before style words.
  • Name the light: "golden hour rim light", "softbox from the left".
  • Anchor the frame: "centered composition", "rule of thirds", "top-down flat lay".
  • Keep it to 1–3 sentences; the model fills in texture and detail.

Text in images

Flux 3 renders legible type — posters, labels, signage. Put the words in quotes and say where they live in the frame.

  • Use quotes: the neon sign reads "OPEN LATE".
  • Anchor placement: "printed on the label", "chalked on the board", "projected onto the wall".
  • Keep it short — two to five words render cleanest.

Multi-reference editing

Image to Image keeps a world consistent. Mention your references explicitly so the model knows what each image contributes.

  • "Keep the person from image 1, relight with the mood of image 2."
  • Cover angles: front, side, and detail shots beat three similar frames.
  • Name the role: "image 3 for color palette only".

Conversational edits

Edit in plain language — Flux 3 follows instructions instead of reimagining the frame. Keep the prompt stable and change one variable per run.

  • "Same shot at dusk", "remove the logo", "make the jacket red".
  • Change one thing per run so you can see what moved the image.
  • Use batch generation to compare 2–4 variations side by side.

Video prompts

The studio also hosts video models — Muse Video, Seedance, MiniMax H3. For clips, lead with subject and action, then add camera language like "slow push-in" or "aerial orbit".

  • One camera move per shot: "slow push-in", "orbit", "handheld follow".
  • Reference stills hold characters and style across generated clips.
  • Short prompts win — describe the action, not a storyboard.
