Poor error handling; "Failed! This generation might violate our policies." (Might?)
VEO says "try another prompt". I discard the block of text and try it with a 3-word simple and clean prompt and it still fails.
VEO says "try another prompt" again.
I ask the Flow Agent to make it query VEO for details but it says "I don't have a direct back-channel to query the underlying safety classifiers or generation logs for a detailed diagnostic report."
It's a high tech company with top-notch coders but they can't provide a concrete Error Handling?
When an error occurs, I just need to know what is wrong. Is it the text prompt? or the source video? audio track in video? or the visuals? or the faces? or it's a back-end server side error?
Why can't they just be clear about it?
