issue with prompting in firefly

“A realistic continuous scene starting from a wide view of a historic brick architectural venue with a marquee. The perspective advances steadily toward the ground-floor glass entry doors beneath the right side of the marquee. Interior illumination glows behind the glass panes. The glass double doors part smoothly. Pure soft illumination shines from the interior room, expanding across the view until the background becomes a uniform soft white field. Detailed brick textures, neutral outdoor daylight, architectural realism.”

this is what my prompt has been watered down to and is STILL not being accepted. It has gotten very difficult to prompt with any detail at all. im not generating anything inappropriate ever and have to keep having google revise my prompts and it says things like “Firefly doesnt like camera movement descriptions like ‘the camera pushes forward’ and now thats just really bad. im going to abandon firefly for good once my credits run out and support another platform that doesnt disable EVERY LITTLE THING like whats the point if a prompt like “ the bunny jumps” is deemed inappropriate. Garbage.

Hi ​@Darren_Perlmutter8227,

When you say your prompt is not accepted, are you getting an error or is it not generating what you are asking for? I just tried that prompt above in Firefly 5, Firefly 4 Ultra, Firefly 3, Gemini 3.1, GPT image 2, and Flux 2 [pro] and they all generated without an error. If you are getting an error, please include a screen shot of the full browser window with the error.

Hey ​@Darren_Perlmutter8227 
To add to what ​@daniellei4510  mentioned, this is a very complicated prompt. Definitely break the prompt into several sections. Most movie scenes are 3 to 5 seconds long. 

The prompt provided seems to be 3 to 5 scenes. Small bite sized prompts will give better results in the end and save credits. 

Cheers

Nate

So this is Firefly itself and not a third-party AI? That seems like an very long and complex prompt for a 5 second video. Have you tried other models?
