The video upscaling takes too long

I upload a fairly decent 15 seconds video, just a 768p. I wanted to upscale to 1080p, but it took a long time to upscale and i have been waiting for 20 minutes. And it is still upscaling at the time I’m writing this. This is frustrating because it should not be taking this long, not even 4k. What is going on?

Current settings: Astra, Creative, Subtle, 1080p.

I just cancel it and now I could not get my credits back. This felt like a scam almost 👎🏻

    Hi ​@Mohammad361735982cq0,

     

    We’re sorry for the delay. I'm sorry to hear about this experience. I can understand how frustrating it must be to wait over 20 minutes for a 15-second 768p video to upscale, only to cancel the job and then see your credits remain consumed.

    To help us investigate, could you please share a few additional details?

    • Did the upscaling remain stuck on a specific percentage, or was it continuously processing without progress?
    • Does this happen with all videos or only this particular file?
    • Are you using Firefly on the web app or desktop app?
    • Which browser and operating system are you using?
    • Approximately when did this occur?
    • Could you share a screenshot of the processing screen and the credit usage, if available?

    In the meantime, you may want to try:

    1. Refreshing the page and checking whether the upscaled video appears in your Generation History.
    2. Trying the upscale again in an Incognito/Private browser window.
    3. Testing with a shorter or different video file to see if the behavior persists.
    4. Trying a different browser to rule out a browser-specific issue.

     

    Regards,
