Video generation reproduces the prompt from the video before, ignores new prompt

When I clicked on "text to video" on the Firefly home page, the editor still showed the example video "black panther" that I looked at for reference yesterday. I cleared the style selection and wrote a new prompt, but Fi just generated a new, very similar black panther video. It completely ignored the new prompt. On the next try the new prompt worked.

Thanks for getting back to me. In this case, you can enter your prompt in the text-to-video feature as shown below.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Corinna E!

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Could you share the prompt with us to see what's happening? Please know: each generation batch uses seeds (random numbers) behind the scenes to generate a unique image/video. If you hit 'generate' multiple times without making changes, it will generate new seeds for that batch of images/ video. If you however, make a change to the prompt such that your new generation would differ in some way from your most recent generation, we keep the same seeds, this way you can make subtle adjustments to your last (most recently) generated images/videos.

Let us know.

Thanks,

^KR

Hi @Kartika Rawat , thanks for your response! I don't think it works that way in my case. I was able to reproduce the issue by going to gallery and selecting the black panther video. You switch to the video generator automatically. When I only delete the style selection "fantasy" and put in my new prompt "Close-up of the single wooden front door of a tall, derelict hut with two dark, empty windows in the forest at night. It's raining. The hut's wooden door is closed lightly. As the camera zooms in, the door opens up slightly. Dim, yellow-ish light seeps out from the opening cracks around the door. The atmosphere is dark and foreboding. Cinematic, dramatic, dark, blue colors, atmospheric.", it simply generates another version of the panther.

I noticed that the seed number stays the same even with the new prompt. It seems I have to delete that number manually AND enter the new prompt again to get FI to work with the new prompt.
