Video generation with Kling constantly crashing
I am using Freepik since around one week and wanted to use the holidays to generate a lot of clips, so I bought the premium subscription.
Whereas image generation is flawless, generating videos with Kling 1.5 Standard crashes constantly. The most graceful error is this one:
Kling 1.5 is in high demand right now
It occurs right away when I click on generate. But I find this so annoying. Why does Freepik not take my order and execute it later? I don't need the video to be generated in 5, 10 or even 60 minutes. If it would do its job in the next hours or at night when I am asleep that would be perfectly fine for me. Then I could queue all the clips I need and further process them the next day. Instead, I have to try to queue a video every some minutes, hoping that it finally gets accepted.
The other types of error are not much better. I often get this one:
This occurs after the job was accepted.
Another form of error is that the loading spinner screen finishes by showing the following:
The loading spinner is deceptive as it does not show real progress but just time that passed. The message in the end can be safely interpreted as "Your video generation request crashed". There is no further error message, but when I reload the page there will be no generated video.
One last form of error is that it just says "Something went wrong" in a red small box which disappears so quickly that I often don't even notice it.
All in all around 95% of the video generation jobs I submit currently crash. This effectively costs me hours of delay. It is also annoying that often when I resubmit a generation job, I have to regenerate/rewrite the prompt. If jobs could be properly queued this would also not happen and I could think about a prompt only once instead of 10 times.
Did this occur to you people too? Was it this way all the time or does this happen due to the holidays only?
Would it likely be different if I change to other providers relying on Kling, e.g. going directly via klingai.com? Does anyone have good experiences with other providers?
For completeness I want to notice that these errors do not seem to occur with other models such as Luma and Runway on Freepik. But Luma and Runway are much more expensive in terms of credits, if I have to rely on these total costs will be up by factor of three :/
Update 29.12.2024: It works much better now, also see comments.
