Not following instructions

I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with Adobe Firefly’s AI video tool repeatedly ignoring clear camera movement instructions.

The first video was close to the brief, but it added an unwanted zoom-in. I used the edit function and clearly requested NO ZOOM.

The next version changed parts of the video but still included the same zoom.

I tried again, explicitly stating I did not want any zoom, but it still applied one.

On a third attempt, I requested a static camera to ensure no movement at all, but the result still included a zoom-in.

Across three separate edits, the system has repeatedly ignored the same instruction, resulting in around 1,600 credits being wasted trying to fix the issue.

The concern is not the initial generation, but that the editing tool does not seem to respect repeated, explicit instructions to remove a specific effect.

For a credit-based system, it is very frustrating that clear requests like “no zoom” or “static camera” are not being followed, leading to repeated failed generations.

    Hey ​@alex_4148 
    Prompting is a lot of trial and error. When you noticed a repeated pattern, delete the files that are not working.

    Prompt suggestion
    ….. (your prompt) at the end keep the camera stable and fixed. (Positive prompts work well).


     

    Make sure to delete the files that are not working to prevent having a bad seed.

    It worked! Ish... it still has a small zoom, but it’s definitely usable now! Thanks!
