Rove Measured October 2026

Measured on real edits

Flux redraws your whole shot. Rove keeps what you approved.

Flux 3 renders a complete new frame for every edit, including the parts you didn't ask to change. Rove keeps the change you asked for and puts your original footage back everywhere else. We measured what that difference amounts to on 16 Flux 3 edits.

Pixels altered outside the edit

RAW FLUX 3
9%
ROVE
0.04%

Raw Flux: median 9%, up to 19% in one edit. Rove: 0.04% at most, in any edit. Altered means a pixel's brightness moved by 5% or more.

Match to your original outside the edit

RAW FLUX 3
28.5 dB
ROVE
47.2 dB

Median PSNR against the original, higher is closer. Above about 40 dB, differences are generally invisible. Rove was higher in all 16 edits.

Resolution you get back

RAW FLUX 3
800×1088
ROVE
1440×1920

From a 1440×1920 source. Flux returns lower-resolution video; Rove keeps your original resolution everywhere outside the change.

One frame of the edit 'turn the white cup into a retro brown cup'. Top row: the original, raw Flux 3, and Rove. Bottom row: how far each output differs from the original. Raw Flux's differences outline her face, hair, the cars and every building edge; Rove's are mostly the cup, with a few small patches on the glass canopy.
OrangeHow far each output differs from the original, amplified six times. Raw Flux re-renders her face, her hair and every building. Rove's changes are mostly the cup, plus a few small patches of the glass canopy where Flux's changes were large enough to keep.

How Rove does it

Flux proposes. Rove commits only what changed.

Flux renders a candidate

The model generates a full new version of your shot with the change you asked for, and redraws everything else along the way.

Rove compares every frame

Rove checks the candidate against your original, frame by frame, to find exactly which pixels your edit changed.

Your footage goes back in

Rove keeps those changed pixels and restores your original footage everywhere else, at your original resolution.

When an edit changes most of the frame, such as a full color or weather change, there is little of the original to keep. Rove tells you, and returns the full generated frame.

How we measured

The fine print.

SAMPLE
16 Flux 3 edits made in Rove between September 11 and October 4, 2026: 3,950 frames from 7 source clips, 640×356 to 1440×1920. Internal tests, not an independent benchmark.
WHAT WAS COMPARED
Each edit's raw Flux 3 output and Rove's output, against the original clip, frame by frame. Raw Flux output was matched to the original's size and timing first, so every frame lines up.
WHERE
In the parts of each frame Rove kept from the original, which is everywhere outside the edit and its blended border: 78% of the frame in a typical edit.
WHAT IT DOESN'T MEASURE
The quality of the requested change itself. These numbers show what stays the same, not whether the edit came out the way you wanted. Rove checks that separately before you see it.
RESOLUTION
Shown for the highest-resolution source in the sample. The two sources wider than 1280 pixels came back from Flux at 56–70% of their original width; sources 1280 pixels wide or smaller came back close to full size.
