FLUX 3 Archival Formats

A period look is requested by naming the machine that recorded it, not the feeling it should produce. "Vintage," "nostalgic," and "retro" are adjectives: nothing in the output can confirm or refute them. A recording format is hardware with named physical artifacts, so a reviewer can check the frame for each one and say whether the request landed.

Use this for a single standalone shot, or for a montage that must read as one era. Route supplied stills or clips to flux-3-keyframes-continuation, and shot craft that has nothing to do with period to flux-3-cinematic-inserts.

Format artifacts

Each row is a checklist. Name the format and the era together, then request the artifacts explicitly; a reviewer confirms the look by finding them in the frame.
