Input a prompt get something different. it ignores donts or do nots, remakes the same video and then takes the credits. i wouldnt mind if trying to fix the error didnt also cost credits but when it does it wrong and nothing you do fixes it. theres an issue. 

Heres my prompt ive tried a few versions

A static tableau of children holding hands in a perfect circle on a cobblestone village street. The scene is composed like a still painting.

The children remain anchored in their exact positions for the entire duration. Their feet stay fixed, and the circle shape is preserved at all times.

The only movement among the children is a gentle, synchronized side-to-side sway, repeating slowly like a pendulum. The sway is small, controlled, and loopable, with no forward or backward motion.

Above them, black birds move naturally through the sky, circling and drifting overhead.

All buildings, ground, fog, and background elements remain completely static, reinforcing the frozen atmosphere.

Locked-off camera, no camera movement. Dark fairytale tone, moody cinematic lighting, subtle atmosphere.

 

But it makes a video about them going in circles ignoring all the commands to not move.

    Hi ​@jahrs!

    Thanks for sharing the prompt. It helps. Currently, Firefly doesn't understand negative prompting. So, adding it to a prompt will add it to your videos. For example, in your prompt, no forward or backward motion will add forward or backward motion. You can try to remove these words and see the results. I tried your prompt and was able to generate the video with another video model. Most likely, your credits returned soon after showing the error.
