Firefly cannot follow simple instructions for video editing. I have used too many credits to try and get my video right, even bought more. Still no joy

    Hey ​@intuitive_Hummingbird16e6 
    Same video/ image output

    It is frustrating to spend credits on multiple edit attempts and receive what appears to be the same image/ video output each time, especially when you're trying to fix specific issues in the generated result.

    >>
    Press generate: ONLY ONCE or Twice<<. If the generation is taking forever, not generating, or giving you the same results: just press generate once or twice. This will help you save credits. 

    Consider reaching out for suggestions in the community

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

    •  Could you create a full screen video of your workflow showing us what is happening? This would help considerably. 
    • Which video/image feature are you using (Generate Video, Video Edit, Remix, Scene-to-Video, etc.)?
    • What specific changes are you trying to make to the video/ image?
    • Are the edits completely ignored, or do you notice any subtle differences between generations?
    • Could you share the edit prompts you've tried?
    • Does this happen with every video/ image, or only this particular project?
    • Approximately when did this start occurring?
    • If possible, could you share screenshots or screen recordings showing the original video/ image and the edited outputs?

    In the meantime, you may want to try:

    1. Using more specific edit instructions- Instead of broad prompts like "fix the glitches," try describing the exact change you'd like to see (e.g., "remove the extra hand on the left side" or "make the character face forward throughout the scene").
    2. Start a new edit session- Create a copy of the video or start a fresh edit workflow to determine whether the issue is tied to a specific generation.
    3. Try a different browser or an Incognito window- This can help rule out browser-related issues.

    Cheers
