prompts being ignored

not sure if it's a bug, but i'm on the seventh straight generation using different variations of the same prompt asking nothing new to be added to the video and it keeps adding something that isn't there. i'm wasting credits on a simple request and it keeps ignoring my prompts. i understand you might not be able to prevent generation from going awry, but if i specifically use prompts to prevent something and it does it anyway, why should I lose credits? a few times sure, but seven or eight straight?

    Negative prompts can be tricky with a lot of AI models. “Do not”...” or something similar for many models is interpreted as requesting the exact opposite. A prompt such as, “the man should not have a beard” will often result in giving the subject a full beard. “The man should be clean shaven” on the other hand, might yield the desired result. If you could post the prompt in questions, that might help and someone can suggest some possible work arounds. Are you creating an entire new video or attempting to edit an existing one?
