Question

Error generating short clips of video with my own image reference created in firefly

I'm creating short clips with my own reference images, also generated with Firefly, for a humanitarian video. After 11 generations of 4-second clips, I'm getting a guidelines violation error. I've read the guidelines and I'm not doing anything wrong. This is happening right before I finish my short clips so I can work on them in Premiere Pro. It's very frustrating. What can I do? I need to finish by this Saturday!

    Hi bcastillov,
    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    To be able to help you, please share the prompt, reference images and we’ll look more into this.

    Let us know the details.

    Hi, I'm sending you the reference images, images 12 and 13, generated directly in Firefly. The prompt I used for the 4-second video clip using these reference images is this:

    same man, identical face, transition from coordination team room to close up emotional moment, slight smile forming, smooth slow motion feel, soft lighting

     

    I'm going to try it again now, in case it was overloaded by so many clips I was generating to build the story of my video.

    I've tried again, but I'm getting the same error. It doesn't make much sense because none of the guidelines on the website are being violated. Perhaps the internal validations assume I'm training some AI with my short clips? But that's not the case; I'm just creating short videos with my own reference images to generate a story, which I'll then combine in Premiere Pro to build a coherent whole. I'm going to remove the reference image for the volunteer team coordination and use a different one to see what happens.
