i keep telling it to make the video different so it makes a seamless looping video with a flower bud opening turning into a mandala and re-budding, its used my credits three times and didn't change what i told it to. it shouldn't charge me credits if its not going to respond to my edit requests! I shouldn't have to pay for it doing somethin i dont want or not responding repeatedly. it wont make a seamless looping video. super lames.

Hey @positive_Cosmos552b
Consider using the edit tool:

Like @Trevor.Dennis mentioned there is some finessing/ clean up that is still involved. I never expect AI to do everything. I know that I need to go in and clean things up in the end.

Did you use the same image for first and last frame references? That’s how we are supposed to create looping videos. In my experience I nearly always have to shave up to for frames from the end to get a clean loop. Easily done if you have Photoshop to fine tune.

Are you trying to make video or frame animation? There’s a big difference in how to approach them. In fact, if you can give us more detail, then you’ll get a much better answer. There’s a definitely learning process involved, and with videos using so many credits, it pays to do your research. Even if that just means asking here on the forum.

I should have added that I now tell the AI model that I am creating a loop when writing the Prompt. I also use about a third of my prompt telling it what NOT to do or change. I have had a result almost right but go again to change one small detail, and the AI model creates a wildly different result. Now that’s annoying.

yes, I told it to match the last frame of the clip to first frame so that the flower is the same amount of opened/bloomed so that it is a perfect seamless loop. Thats What I told it. I was just using the adobe firefly app and using the edit tool within the app. I was trying to make a seamless loop so that I can put it in a long-form video and copy it so it keep replaying. I think there should be an option where we can select a button if it doesnt repsond to what we are telling it to do and not have to get charged credits for it not responding to prompts. Otherwise its kind of a rip off and waste of time. If it cant create a basic seamless loop video, that is pretty lame because that is a pretty basic prompt to tell it. I kept telling that the first frame and the last frame must be the same so it creates a perfectly seamless loop. I tried like three different times in edits to one clip, and that was after I tried four different times to different, separate generations. So I thought maybe if I edit it, it would do it, but I tried three times in edit function and it still wouldn’t do it. very frustrating and a waste of money. Thought this would work for what I’m trying to create but I might have to use different program or figure out how to create my own animation. I see animations like this all the time in youtube, where there is a seamless looping video that is clearly an ai animation. Thanks for the reply, but I did not find it helpful to solving this issue at all. I should be able to get my credits refunded somehow. Other wise it feels like gambling your credits because its not following the prompt. Im not happy with the user experience.
