Unable to upload image to Firefly Video “Frame” — Upload button inactive despite correct settings

Hello Adobe team,

I’m encountering a consistent issue in Firefly Video (https://firefly.adobe.com/generate/video).

The “Upload image” button under the *Frame* section remains inactive and cannot be clicked, even though:
- All camera motions and motion references are fully disabled,
- No reference video is uploaded,
- Aspect ratio and resolution are correctly set to Vertical (9:16), 720p or 540p,
- File format is valid (JPG/PNG, under 25 MB, tested with 1080×1920 px vertical image),
- All browser extensions (including adblockers) are disabled,
- Cache has been cleared, and tests were done in Incognito mode.

I also tested in multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge), but the issue persists.
The “Upload image” frame icon stays greyed out and does not react when clicked.

It seems to be a UI/session bug affecting users even with correct configurations.

**System info:**
- OS: Windows 11 Pro, version 25H2
- Browser: Google Chrome (latest stable)
- Adobe account: *Paid Firefly plan*
- No active extensions during testing

Please verify if this issue is already known or tied to recent Firefly Video updates.
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello @ideasonmail_9340,

Thank you for your message. 

It looks like you have a beginning frame in that image. Are you saying you cannot replace it or you cannot add an end frame (or something else)?

Thanks,

I can't upload first frame. Photo to video do not work properly. Not from
laptop, not from phone.. "some items are hidden when frames are in use,
because they don't support frames. To use hidden items, remove all frames.".

Hi @ideasonmail_9340

 

The screenshot shows that the first frame is already added. The pop-up is standard, as once the reference image is added, certain features are disabled, and the AI takes the reference from the image. I tried and got the same pop-up. Please ignore the pop-up, add the prompt, and continue. Below is the screenshot of what I get. If you still have an issue generating, Please share a screen recording of the workflow and we can send it to the product team for investigation.
