Black Forest Labs Adds Region-Specific Editing to FLUX Video Edit
Black Forest Labs is positioning targeted, partial-frame video editing as a cheaper API tool than the generative video services it competes with, which points to editing rather than generation as the next sellable layer in this market.

Black Forest Labs announced FLUX Video Edit, a video editing AI service that edits only specified parts of a clip and preserves the rest of the frame. It handles videos up to 15 seconds and is available through an API at $0.03 per second of video. The company says the service is cheaper and higher quality than Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3, and that image, video, and audio referencing will be added soon.
FLUX Video Edit works by leaving everything outside a chosen area untouched. The examples given by Black Forest Labs include removing an orange bucket at a person's feet and changing the color of an apron, with the rest of the frame unchanged. The service can also swap one person for another.
Access is through an API, capped at 15-second clips, priced at $0.03 per second. Black Forest Labs says it is higher quality and cheaper than Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3, and that a function to reference images, videos, and audio is coming.
