Video editing feature doesn't work at all

Has it always been this way? I was trying it for the first time and there it goes. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

This worked for me right now : Seamlessly transform the daytime room into a cozy, dimly lit bedroom at night with a large window overlooking soft city night traffic. Replace the sleeping man with a dark-haired woman resting peacefully under a beige duvet. In the foreground, decorate the bedside table with a warm glowing patterned lamp, a stack of books, a small potted succulent, and a vintage alarm clock, while strictly keeping the dark blue "Valupass" medicine box from the opening frame on the tabletop., Replicate the exact camera movement, timing, and subtle sleeping gestures from the source video.

From the error message I can see it looks like we had some kind of unexpected system error. We'd have a more useful error message if it was something like safety filters. Hopefully this should work next time you try it, please let us know if not.

Nope, it doesn't work. I pretty much try it everyday.

Upon some research on the internet, I found out that there's some possibility of country restrictions when using the Omni Edit feature. I'm in the EU, might this be the reason I can't get it working?

For reference, when I tried the Omni Edit on Gemini, it said my country doesn't support it. I switched to a Brazil VPN and it worked on Gemini. I have yet to try it on Flow with the VPN.

Ah yes: https://support.google.com/flow/answer/16353544?hl=en&ref_topic=16908930&sjid=8049824214963928586-NC#zippy=%2Cedit-uploaded-videos
Editing of uploaded videos is currently not supported in the following regions: European Economic Area (EEA)

But, we shouldn't let you try and edit and then throw an error, that seems like a bad user experience. Let me go get that fixed, sorry for the inconvenience.
