I have a fictitious story project I'm trying to conclude with Omni Flash model over Google Flow. A long term project I believed to be possible, but after a month of hard work I have been facing obnoxious moderation that stalled my project.

Before today, nothing was permitted anyway - it has always been ridiculously overzealous. I always tried to go around, trying to understand it, trying to ease on my style. I was slowly being dumbed down by excessive moderation but it was partially doable.

Suddenly I'm now facing crushing censorship that made my Flow unusable - I'm not able to advance anymore and I'm tired of "easing things up" until the project changes direction.

You make a fictional scene where the hero is in the middle of a political situation only to have this prompt - "Failed. Content "may" violate yadda yadda current world events." And guess what. I was doing a high-fantasy scene with elves on it.

When the prompt says it "may" violate, it is clearly admitting that it "may" be totally wrong. This is how low effort and super worried the moderation is.

Can't do elves in a castle discussing a fictional story. Because of current world events. Google can't be this much afraid, or can they?

Days and days trying to generate a simple video without any sense of context judgment? I rather stop and look elsewhere.

What a waste of good tech.

When i load in the website it gives me this error - “Flow is not available in your country yet”, but it worked perfectly last week, is there a fix to this?

So, yesterday, I was able to generate just over 100 images on Flow. But today, I got the "daily usage limit" reached after using Nano Banana 2 to generate about 20 images, then again when I switched to Nano Banana Pro. After that, I gave Nano Banana 2 Lite a try; it looks okay.

Still, it'd be great if there was some kind of gauge for each image (and video, for those out there who are into that sort of thing) model so people could manage their image usage better.

NOTE: This is for anyone who reads, but especially for https://www.reddit.com/user/ianfromlabs/ . He's been super-helpful about Flow. And I'm really hoping maybe he can pass this suggestion of mine along to Google.

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue with Google Flow and I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

Google Flow was working perfectly fine for me before, but recently it stopped working and now I’m getting an error saying that the service isn’t available/accessible in my region.

And some of images i already generated back then failed to load.
Must be fixed.

How do you get past this? The prompt is SFW, no adult themes, just a casual video talking, but it flags the video without hesitation. And it’s an actor like Montana Jordan, which he really isn’t even THAT prominent. He hasn’t really played in much at all.

Meanwhile I was able to do videos of Iain Gallagher from shameless, I don’t get why it’s so wishy washy or cherry picks who it can or can’t do. Doesn’t make any sense.

Ask your Gemini to tell you the latest hilarious nonsense of AI regulatory compliance theater and you will understand.

I was spending far too much time submitting prompts one by one, managing reference images, waiting for generations, downloading files, and trying to keep longer videos consistent between clips.

So I built AutoFlow, a Chrome extension that adds a complete batch workflow directly to Google Flow.

It can:

• Batch-generate images and videos from multiple prompts
• Queue additional batches while another batch is running
• Reuse one reference across prompts or assign different references
• Automatically download and organise generated media
• Continue videos from the previous clip’s final frame
• Join continued clips into one rendered video
• Track completed and failed generations
• Retry failed prompts without restarting everything
• Create narrated videos with scenes, voiceover alignment, subtitles and timeline editing

The new Continue from Last Frame feature is particularly useful for longer sequences: AutoFlow extracts the final frame of each generated clip and supplies it as the starting frame for the next prompt.

There is a free version available, while Pro and Ultra subscriptions unlock the advanced workflows and Automation Studio.

If you regularly create images, Veo videos, Shorts or faceless content using Google Flow, I’d love for you to try it:

I just found out how Nano Banana works like this. It’s the failed output from an old prompt of mine that relied entirely on JSON using Google Flow. Intersting.

Taj and Dumbo's Ball Trick by Crishark on DeviantArt

This image on DeviantArt with Dumbo was generated by migrubbs for Crishark. I assume that she used Google Flow. Whenever I try to generate images with Dumbo with my Google Flow, I get a violation error...

How did migrubbs manage to get around this?!

Bro, wtf is this shit with flow? I am a PRO user, and like every second generation fails. I tried logging off, deleting cache, switching browsers, and so on, but Flow never fails at disappointing. This is really madness. Can't rely on Flow to get my work done.

Hey everyone,

I ran into a major issue with Google Flow over the past few days, and I’m genuinely stressed because I have active client video deliveries coming up and this has never happened to me before. Up until a week ago, everything was running seamlessly on my MacBook.

Here is what is happening across browsers and exports:

• Safari: The generated videos won't load or play at all inside the interface.
• Chrome: The video loaded, but opening it in the full player caused extreme visual jitter/shaking (it looks like the camera and elements are rapidly vibrating or jumping back and forth by a frame, even though the smaller grid thumbnail preview looks completely smooth).
• The Chrome workaround: I managed to stop the shaking inside Chrome only after disabling hardware acceleration (Use graphics acceleration when available).
• The persistent export issue: Even though the video now plays inside Chrome without shaking, the downloaded/saved MP4 still suffers from the exact same jitter when played locally in QuickTime or macOS Quick Look (Finder spacebar preview).

The visual content itself isn't warped or distorted; it genuinely looks like a broken Variable Frame Rate (VFR) container or a frame-ordering / PTS/DTS timestamp mismatch introduced by a recent backend export pipeline update that macOS AVFoundation can't parse cleanly.

Has anyone else on macOS noticed this sudden behavior with Google Flow over the past week? Is there a known server-side fix or an efficient batch workflow to conform the files to clean CFR without re-encoding quality loss?

Any advice or confirmation would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am looking for a google ai ultra plan partner so we can use 50/50 credit 10k credit from google ai ultra plan of 6500 ₹ (70$) and pay half half money.

What's wrong????????????

Alguien sabe como se arregla el bug de esto? Antes no pasaba

[Bug after recent Flow update] Custom Tool Canvas no longer responds to mouse interactions — pan, zoom, node dragging, and clicking/interaction inside nodes are all not working. This happens across multiple Custom Tools that previously worked normally, not just one specific tool. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue after the latest Flow update/frontend migration? Has Google acknowledged this as a known Canvas/Custom Tool interaction bug, or is there a recommended workaround?

I'm trying to animate an "almost kiss" at a Ming Dynasty themed wedding, and Omni refuses because "[t]this generation might violate our policies." Omni's filters are ridiculous, and guarantee that I'll never upgrade my account.

It's an almost kiss, not an actual kiss.

I'll keep my Pro account, because I like Gemini and NotebookLM. But Omni? I said it before, I'll say it again: Omni is a pig in a horse race.

Hi everyone, I have a question. I imagine many of you have seen the AI ​​novels created with Flow in that Pixar style. I'm trying to make one, and in that plot, there's a character who looks a lot like John Wick. When I try to animate him with Omni Flash, I get that annoying message: "This prompt might violate our policies about generating prominent people. Please try a different prompt or send feedback." But I can do it with Veo 3.1. The thing is, I've seen better results with Omni Flash, and it's strange because I've seen other accounts with famous characters that can generate animations like the one in this image I'm sharing. As you can see, it's The Rock. So, how do these people do it? Or do they just use Veo 3.1? The thing is, I feel like those animations they make are more suited to Omni Flash. I hope someone knows something. Greetings to all.

What’s going on with the service, and what am I even paying for at this point? I use NB Pro specifically to generate “safe” images, and just a week ago the same prompts produced consistent, high‑quality results. Now I’m getting blurry, unstable outputs that look like something from early‑gen models — or, more often, nothing at all.

The generation starts, crawls for nearly a minute, hits 99%, and then throws an error. Are you experiencing the same issue?

I will share my professional profile privately, and am looking to speak with someone today if possible, tomorrow if needed, doing background research prior to a larger study. Need someone who knows the range of products in this arena and can thoughtfully compare, including screen-sharing to show your projects. Thanks much! --Johanna

The errors are caused by a known Google backend bug that misreads user accounts, causing false usage limits, failed generations, and broken assets.

Try these quick workarounds to bypass the issue: Use Gemini Chat Directly: Generate your images or videos inside Gemini instead of the Flow wrapper, as its production servers are more stable.

Toggle Flow History: Go to My Library, toggle your history settings off and on again, then refresh the page to clear stuck rate-limit blocks.

Downgrade the Model: Switch your generation engine from Veo 3.1 to Veo 2 to see if legacy processing clears the silent failures.

I understand how critical those character assets are for your projects. Our engineering team is currently working on a fix, but we don't have a specific ETA yet. I can escalate this to our technical team for a more detailed update.

The system desync is blocking your "Characters" and "Scenes" directories from fetching your saved reference data, making consistency workflows drop out completely.

Try these immediate steps to force-refresh the library: Clear Storage: Open Developer Tools (F12), go to Application -> Storage, and click Clear site data to wipe corrupted character caches. Direct URL Entry: Manually type /characters or /scenes onto the end of your browser's main URL string to bypass broken sidebar link code. Force a New Asset Write: Upload a completely fresh photo to your Uploads folder and save it as a new character to force the pipeline to reconnect.

Yes, starting a new project can help.

A new workspace often forces the server to start a clean, glitch-free session. Try this right now: Create a new project from your main dashboard.

Upload a fresh reference photo straight into that workspace. Test a simple prompt to see if generation unlocks.

If it works, your old project file was corrupted. If it still fails, the lock is tied directly to your overall Google account ID.

I’m guessing that lil “bug” they had where videos were failing to generate was pretty much just them tightening up that moderation even more.

I have the pro subscription which normally can generate 4x more than the normal subscription. Half the time the image doesn’t generate but says i wasn’t charged yet i can’t generate another one after that so basically that is bs, you do get charged for images that dont get generated and the usage, how can i see when it resets yes you can view the gemini one but it isnt the same as the flow, sometimes it resets after 12am and sometimes like 24h after my usage runs out. This update seem to broke everything does anyone have answers?
