Community Beginner ,
Sep 17, 2024 Sep 17, 2024

I have been trying to make short, animated videos from voice files using the "Animate Characters" feature but keep receiving the error message: "We were unable to contact our service. Please try again later. (Error code: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)."

Hey @ahmed_iruphan, Thanks for responding. I tried to replicate the same issue on Apple devices (iPhone 12 & iPhone 13 Pro), and it worked fine. The devices were updated to the latest iOS version, and the latest Adobe Express app was installed. Would it be possible for you to check the same on some other mobile device? Also, are there any pending iOS or app updates? If there are, please update them to the latest versions.

Try switching to different internet connectivity to see if that makes any difference.

Do share your observations with us!

 

Best,

Amitej

Hi @ahmed_iruphan,

 

Could you please let us know if the error happens immediately after you finish recording, or does it show a loading screen that seems to be completing and then throw the error after that?

Hi all, 

 

Thanks for your patience! Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, could you try checking on the desktop web (using the same Adobe ID) to see if the same error appears there?

I also have this issue. It appears to be a long standing issue - since at least September 2024. Perhaps you could address it conclusively, e.g. with an update at the point of service?

Hey @Dazzling_friends6905, Welcome to our Adobe Express community! 

 

Are you using the desktop or mobile app? Can you share a screen recording of the workflow and the Internal server error message that pops up?

Also, have you tried switching networks to see if that helps?

Very disappointed by adobe express. I think they use this Animate character feature only to clickbait people for using their application. Because this features only works for some time and then never works for many days. This is totally frustrating for users. I am withdrawing my premium membership.

Hi @khuram_6285,

 

We’re very sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced with the Animate Characters feature – we understand how disappointing it is when a tool stops working intermittently.

 

If the troubleshooting steps (using a different browser or device, clearing cache, using incognito mode, or retrying at different times) don’t resolve the issue, we recommend contacting Adobe Support directly. You can reach them here:

 

https://adobe.ly/45ykeZP and share your Adobe ID so they can investigate your case thoroughly.

 

We appreciate your feedback and hope the team can help restore full functionality quickly.

 


^MM
