Two ideas for your working day
Brief a product clip with separate visual and audio instructions
For a short product clip, first describe the subject, action and camera movement, then add the desired soundscape. Specify, for example, whether it should contain only workshop sounds or speech as well. FLUX 3 supports native optional audio; check the finished clip especially for unintended voices and unsuitable sounds.
Black Forest Labs: video and audioKeep spoken advertising copy short and clear
For a clip with speech, clearly specify a short sentence, the desired language and the speaker in the prompt. Then check the spoken words and lip sync before using it as an ad. Documented support for multilingual dialogue does not establish that every generated phrase is error-free.

What other sources report
The demo impressively shows how well FLUX 3 can depict fluid behavior, animal or finger movements, and wild camera moves, for example, but close-ups of people, their faces, and their movements are conspicuously absent.
