Common Issues & Solutions

Having trouble? Here are solutions to the most common issues. If you're new, also see Accessing AI Animation and Setting Up Your Account.

Generation issues

"Generation failed" or stuck processing

Try these first:

1. Simplify your prompt — remove prohibited content, unusual characters, or overly complex multi-action scenes
2. Check credits — open the profile menu (top right) and confirm you have enough credits for the model and resolution you selected
3. Retry once — transient provider or queue issues sometimes clear on a second attempt
4. Try a different model — some requests work better on Kling, SeeDance, or Veo depending on motion, audio, and lip-sync needs (see Video Generation Best Practices)

Seedance 2.5 — edit, extend, or setup errors

If you're using Seedance 2.5:

Model not in picker? Seedance 2.5 is on limited workspace rollout — your admin may need to enable it.

Slow generation times

Typical times: Most image jobs finish in under a minute; video often takes several minutes depending on model and queue load.

If it's taking much longer:

• Leave the tab open and wait — closing early can make status updates harder to follow
• Refresh the page if status hasn't updated in 15+ minutes
• Contact support if the job stays stuck in "processing" with no change

Account & login issues

Can't log in

Check these first:

• Correct email and password
• Email verified (check spam/junk for the verification code)
• Clear browser cache and cookies, or try a private/incognito window
• Use Forgot your password? on /auth/ if needed

Social sign-in (Google or LinkedIn):

• Use a normal browser window — some providers block pop-ups in strict privacy modes
• If social sign-in fails repeatedly, use the email sign-in option instead. New users should return to their invitation and choose its email-and-password option

Missing credits after purchase

Credits not showing up?

1. Wait a few minutes for payment processing to complete
2. Open the profile menu and click the refresh icon next to your credit balance
3. Confirm the purchase email from Paddle (our payment provider)
4. If you're in an organization workspace, credits may have been added to the workspace pool — check with your workspace admin

For plan details and credit packs, see /dashboard/credits/ or Pricing.

Browser & technical issues

Video won't play in the app

• Update your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
• Disable ad blockers or privacy extensions temporarily
• Check your network connection
• Try another browser or device

Upload problems

Reference images not uploading?

• Use common formats: JPG, PNG, or WebP
• Keep files reasonably sized — very large files may fail or slow down
• Confirm the file isn't corrupted by opening it locally first
• Try a different browser if uploads fail silently

Quality issues

Blurry or low-quality results

• Use more specific prompts (see Writing Effective Prompts)
• Match resolution to the model — some models perform best at 720p or 1080p specifically
• For video, start from a clean 1920×1080 source image rather than oversized 4K inputs
• Try a higher-quality or better-suited model for your shot type

Output doesn't match the prompt

• Make the prompt more concrete — subject, action, camera, lighting, mood
• Change one variable at a time (prompt, model, or input image)
• Break complex scenes into simpler shots
• For video motion, see Video Generation Best Practices

Payment & billing

Payment declined

• Verify card details and billing address
• Check with your bank for international or online transaction blocks
• Try another payment method
• Ensure sufficient funds

Subscription or plan questions

• Open Pricing from the profile menu → /dashboard/credits/
• Read the FAQ on the public Pricing page for credits, draft generation, and collaborator rules
• Studio / Enterprise billing — workspace owners and admins manage org plans; members should contact their admin
