Firefly does not follow even basic prompts

Fed it a simple image we could use as an intro for a product video to see if it was feasible for us to use certain stills as our wide opener for videos where the location has issues that cant be removed in post on footage, Firefly cant even follow a basic promt like 'zoom in slowly towards the fridge keeping it centre frame', or 'slowly orbit caemra to the right keeping the fridge centre frame'.

 

The first one it zooomed out fast and the second it panned to the right with the fridge going out of frame and grenerated a wall the camera view went behind. 

 

Over 1K credits completley wasted

Hi @chris388105317hgo, you might want to try writing your prompts so they are more aligned with Firefly’s recommended structure for video generation prompts: Shot Type Description + Character/Object + Action + Location + Aesthetic.

 

Here is an example of a prompt that is written with that structure:

 

“A slow, smooth zoom-in shot, keeping a sleek stainless steel fridge centered in the frame, positioned in a modern, brightly-lit kitchen with white countertops and soft natural light streaming through a window. The aesthetic is minimalist, professional, and inviting, with crisp details and a polished look.”

 

Also, make sure your reference image is of high-quality and well-lit. It should clearly show the fridge in your desired setting, since that will help Firefly maintain visual consistency. Let us know how it goes!

This is the second attempt we did, never saved the first one where we aks it to slowly zoom in and it zoomed out, the images are e-com for amazon and taken in a studio, ill have another go with your suggestions.

It wasnt generating from scratch it was trying to use our studio taken images of products to suppliment the videos, these in particular are built-in fridges but the cupboards have been used so many times in other photo and videos shoots you can see drill holes in the wider shots, so rather than just use a still thats had photoshop work done to remove the imperfections in the wood, we wanted to be able to add at least some dynamic movement using the ai to basically make the image more three dimensional with movement and paralax etc.. 

 

I've replied below to the other person you can see the example where it panned right and took the fridge out of frame and generated a wall.
