Question

image to video

I uploaded an image and wrote a prompt. The first 3 seconds were as I wanted—there was a man sitting by the sea, and I wanted his hair to be blown by the wind. But in the last 2 seconds, it changed the man with medium-length hair into someone with long hair. I tried again, and this time, it changed the black figure to white. These two videos are useless to me. It also doesn’t allow me more than two tests.

Let's say I become a paid member—will failed video generations still be deducted from my credits? After all, the package includes 20 or 70 videos, and both of my attempts failed. Maybe only one usable video will come out after 10 tries.

Hi @Trygaios 
Adobe's model for creating content with Firefly is to deduct credits regardless of whether the output is deemed useful or not. So, you can end up using up a lot of credits tying to get something you're after, going multiple generations.

A limitation of Firefly (image and video) at this time is that you can't get a new version of the output with only slight changes to a previous one. With you video exampl of wanting just the last 2 secondso be changed, that would not be possible. Your only option would be to include the first frame as an image reference. That may get you the same look and feel and start but the full 5 seconds would be recreated.

You misunderstood the 'last 2 seconds' part.

I uploaded an image: a black, detail-free sea on an orange background with a man sitting at the edge.
Prompt: The sea should have slight waves, and the man's hair should gently sway in the wind.

Firefly added elements to the composition. The sea waves and hair movement looked good, but it turned the man into a woman.

I re-uploaded my image and started from scratch, this time specifying 'short-haired man.' Again, the sea waves and hair movement looked good, but this time, the fully black male figure (which was supposed to stay black) was turned white.

So, I made two fresh attempts, and neither worked for me. Firefly is adding to or altering the composition—changing a man into a woman or turning a black silhouette into a white one.

Both of my attempts went to waste. If I buy a 20-video package, I might need 10 attempts to get the video I actually want. That’s why the videos I don’t download—those that I discard as failed—shouldn’t be deducted from my credits.

The first prompt doesn't generate the intended result, and it takes multiple tries to get there. In fact, one could use up all their credits without getting a single usable video.

Adobe should apply a 'credit is deducted only when the video is downloaded' policy. That way, failed attempts won’t waste credits. :
