Something went wrong - video generation - keep loosing credits

I have an intermittent issue with video generation – I click on Generate, 400 credits get deducted from my balance, it says it’s generating the video and then just says “Something went wrong – please try again later”

So, several issues:

  1. The credits should only be deducted if there is a successful generation, not at the beginning of the process. This seriously needs fixing
  2. I am constantly losing credits – video generation uses a large number of credits and they are just vanishing into nothing. I need a refund.
  3. I just can’t use Firefly and can’t recommend it to anyone, not it if keeps failing to generated anything
    Image 1 - Before generation - 5480 credits
    Image 2 - During generation, 400 credits deducted
    Image 3 - Generation fails, but balance shows the lower 5080

     

I have tried clearing the cache. I’ve tried incognito. All the same. It probably fails around 50% of the time, and with any model selected. 

Please look to fix this, and credit back the balance

Regards

Giles

    Hey ​@Giles X When looking at the prompt:
    1 you are asking for a 6 second video with your settings at 5 seconds

    2 15cm AI doesn’t exactly measure things so to speak. use a point of reference: example a the frame this will help the AI generator. 
    2 to 3 seconds the camera remains at a fixed distance and pans left to the frame

    Things to keep in mind:
    a Each model responds to prompts differently.
    b Directions (Left and Right) do not always work

    c prompting is a lot of trial and error

    Model Suggestion
    You may want to use Kling and move the slider up to 6 seconds.

    Prompt suggestion
    use the reference image, keep the details of the image the camera remains at a fixed distance and pans towards the picture frame 

    Cheers
