Need advice

Report · May 21, 2025

Background [it has a bearing on what I’m trying to do with a video].

I’m 82 and I design and make jewelry. I sell it online in my shop on Etsy.com, For each listing we are allowed 10 images and 1 video. I was hoping I’d be able to use Firefly for the videos but I can’t get any to work out and Adobe keeps charging me credits for practicing.

First effort -- I uploaded an image of a necklace with a Day of the Dead charm as a pendant.

I Prompted: Give the skull a body and then he will start dancing.

I got no body and no dancing.

Next – I uploaded a pair of ballerina dancer earrings.

I Prompted: Two ballerina charms in purple tutus are in a room that has wooden floors and 2 walls of mirrors with a practice bar. The ballerinas twirl. The one on the left bows from the waist.

I got no purple tutus, no room, no wooden floors, no mirrored walls, no practice bar, no twirls, and no bow.

Finally, today I uploaded a pair of surfer charms earrings.

I Prompted: The two surfer earrings are surfing side by side on the crest of an ocean wave. The sky is blue with fluffy white clouds. A small fish is swimming in front of the surfers.

I got no ocean wave, no clouds, and no small fish

I’m really hoping someone here can tell me what I’m doing wrong before I just give up as Adobe seems to be charging my credits with almost every keystroke.

Thanks in Advance for any help. And Have a Goof Day!!

Thanks for the reply, Kartika -- I know I desperately need help.

As soon as I tried to attach a file the Post button grayed out. There were only 4 files and the largest was 1.05mb

I tried using the drag ad drop at the bottom of a post and I tried using the insert file to put into the body. The drag and drop caused the Post button to gray out. The insert file just didn’t insert. I know I’m not stupid. I’ve been working and playing on computers for over 25 years. But for some reason this Firefly site throws up a brick wall every time I try to use it. I’m sure it’s my fault but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or how to correct it.
