Most issues in Flowy clear up with a retry or a refresh. Work through the section that matches what you’re seeing.

A generation failed or is stuck

You’re never charged for failures. Reserved credits refund automatically, so retrying is free.
1

Give it time

Video is the slowest node type. Let it run before assuming it’s stuck.
2

Retry the node

Run it again. Most failures are temporary.
3

Simplify your prompt

A shorter, clearer prompt often succeeds where a long one stalls. More tips in generation help.
4

Check your balance

Generations need available credits to start. Check the wallet in Settings → Billing.

A Tools run failed

Tools (Upscale, Lipsync Studio, Voiceover, and the rest), run the same billed generation as a canvas node, without a canvas around it. The same fixes apply:
1

Check the input

Every tool expects something specific: a clear face for Face Swap, a script for Voiceover. A mismatched or low-quality input is the most common cause of a poor or failed result.
2

Retry it

Most failures are temporary, and a failed run refunds its reserved credits automatically, retrying costs nothing extra.
3

Check your balance

A run can’t start without enough available credits. Check the wallet in Settings → Billing.

A render is stuck

Renders take real time: longer compositions and higher resolutions take the longest, so give one a fair chance before assuming it’s stuck.
1

Keep the project open

Closing the project while a render runs can interrupt it. Leave the tab open until it finishes.
2

Check your connection

A dropped connection mid-render is a more common cause of a stall than the render itself. Confirm you’re still online and retry.
3

Retry the export

Reopen the export panel and start it again: most stalls clear on a second attempt. See the export guide for the settings that affect render time.
4

Still stuck after a retry?

Contact support with the project name and roughly when you started the render.

I can’t edit a project

If the canvas is locked for you, you have the Viewer role, which is view-only. Request access and the owner can approve you as an Editor. See sharing & access help for the common access problems and fixes.

My changes aren’t syncing

Flowy syncs the canvas in real time for everyone in the project. If something looks out of date, refresh the page, check your internet connection, and confirm your teammates see the same state.

I’m out of credits

Generating spends credits from the workspace wallet. Top up from Settings → Billing (from $5), or turn on auto-reload so it never happens mid-project. See how credits work.

The canvas feels slow

Very large canvases with many nodes can lag. Group nodes to keep the canvas organized, close other heavy browser tabs, and make sure your browser is up to date.

Browser support

Flowy runs best in modern desktop browsers, and the Canvas and Studio aren’t optimized for small mobile screens. See browser support for supported browsers and performance tips.

Still stuck?

Check the FAQ for quick answers, or open a ticket from Support in your account menu, with the project name and any error text. We’ll take it from there.
