    Hi all!

    We appreciate you flagging this issue. It’s been escalated to our product team, and we’ll share updates as soon as we have more information.
     

    To help us investigate more effectively, could you confirm a couple of details:

    • Have you been using a reference image?

    • Is the issue affecting partner models specifically, or all models?

    Thanks for your proactivity and patience while we work on a fix.

    Hey ​@Terrencelmx525 
    Could  you please reply with the following information:

    • A screen shot of the whole browser or application window (including your avatar in the upper right corner) with the error or problem showing or when the problem is happening (not just the error message itself).

    • What model were you using (such as Firefly Image 3, Firefly Image 4, Firefly Image 4 Ultra, Imagen 3, etc.)?

    • A copy of the keyframe(s) or reference images (if any) you were using.

     

     Could you provide a screenshot of an example of your image that is being rejected?


    Common problems

    • Trademarked / Copyright
    • Political figures / Celebrities 
    • if it has children or child like images (an absolute no/ firefly will not generate anything that even resembles a child/ even childlike)

    or

    • - the prompt has words associated with children example: boy, girl, kid, kids, child, children and so on...
      Many Generation Models will not generate anything to do with children.

    Este error ya tiene 2 días para mi y me gasto créditos. Escribo mi prompt, espero hasta 10 minutos y me dice que no se pudo generar la imágen. ¿Van a solucionarlo, y vamos a tener una compensación los que estamos pagando suscripción?

    Hey ​@james5252 

    3rd Party models do take longer to process videos and images. 


    Firefly Models are in Red. They tend to work faster. 
    3rd Party models are in grey each model works at different speeds.

    It’s all working well at my end now (England). I’m creating images as normal in the various models using reference images.

    Mine is also working in NC, USA. At least the FF Image 5 is, using 2 reference images. The reference images were not properly reproduced, but it’s better than it has been.
