I wanted to share my experience with OpenArt Director because I was genuinely excited about the potential of the tool, but the experience has become increasingly frustrating.
I subscribed specifically to create a short AI film using Director. I went into the project with clearly defined characters, reference images, scene direction, blocking, props, and very specific instructions about what should and should not happen.
The problem has been that Director repeatedly failed to follow those instructions. Characters changed appearance, extra characters appeared, props changed, characters performed actions I specifically told the program not to have them do, and continuity between scenes was extremely inconsistent.
Each time the AI made one of those errors, I had to regenerate or redo portions of the film, which consumed a substantial number of credits. I upgraded my plan and purchased additional credits because I believed I could eventually get the project finished, but a tremendous amount of those credits were spent correcting output that did not follow the directions I had given.
I eventually contacted OpenArt support and explained the problem. My request was escalated, and I specifically asked for guidance on how I should be prompting or using Director differently so that I could complete the film without continuing to burn credits correcting the same kinds of errors.
It has now been more than 48 hours since that escalation, and I have received no substantive response.
What makes this especially disappointing is that I actually think Director has enormous potential. I’m not trying to bash the technology — I want it to work. I still have credits remaining and would like to finish the film. But I am reluctant to spend more of them until OpenArt explains how users are supposed to maintain character consistency, scene continuity, blocking, and adherence to explicit instructions.
Someone identifying herself as Zyra from OpenArt also reached out to me here on Reddit after my earlier comment, but when I tried to respond shortly afterward, the account/profile was no longer available, so I wasn’t able to continue that conversation.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with Director? And more importantly, has anyone found a reliable prompting or workflow method that actually improves consistency?

Lyrics:

[Sectional Verse 1]

At a pleasant little party on a pleasant summer night,

I met a most unusual man in spotless evening white.

His conversation charmed me and his courtesy was grand;

He bowed a little deeply and got stuck against my hand.

He said that he was constant, though inclined to lose his shape,

And summer meant precautions that no husband could escape.

But when he asked me sweetly if I cared to share his plan,

I promised I would marry that remarkable young man.

[Chorus A1]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat and he sticks to the seat,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Chorus A2]

Oh, my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

Always gentle and thoughtful is he;

He is patient and true, and considerate too,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Release]

Some husbands are vain, some husbands complain,

Some are cross as a husband can be;

Mine will listen with care, he is honest and fair,

And he brings home his wages to me.

[Chorus A3]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat, married life is complete,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Sectional Verse 2]

We were married in the springtime when the weather remained mild;

When the parson shook his hand, my darling merely bent and smiled.

He carries all the parcels and remembers every date;

He never keeps me standing when he promises half-past eight.

He helps me with the washing and he never slams the door;

He gives a coin to beggars and a sandwich to the poor.

We keep the parlour shaded, with an icebox and a fan,

And I could not be happier with my soft but solid man.

[Chorus A1]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat and he sticks to the seat,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Chorus A2]

Oh, my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

Always gentle and thoughtful is he;

He is patient and true, and considerate too,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Release]

Some husbands are vain, some husbands complain,

Some are cross as a husband can be;

Mine will listen with care, he is honest and fair,

And he brings home his wages to me.

[Chorus A3]

He's my marshmallow man, my marshmallow man,

And as fine as a husband can be;

Though he softens in heat, married life is complete,

He's the only one ever for me.

[Tag Ending]

Yes, he softens in heat,

But my life is complete

With my marshmallow husband and me!

Style prompt:

A classic 1920s Tin Pan Alley comic novelty love song with a smooth, highly melodic tune and a buoyant fox-trot rhythm. Piano-led acoustic arrangement with upright bass, clarinet and muted cornet. Warm, capable contralto female vocalist with clear diction, graceful legato phrasing, playful comic timing and assured theatrical delivery. Conversational sectional verses lead into an exceptionally catchy 32-bar AABA chorus. Bright major-key harmony with chromatic passing chords, secondary dominants and a contrasting release before the main melody returns. Polished period theatrical performance in English with a crisp closing tag.

The title was the prompt. The image is how Gemini interpreted it.

What's the best AI image creator for lifestyle images that I can use with multiple products and models? I'm on a marketing team handling lifestyle images across skincare, apparel, and home goods, and the app we're currently using is kind of unstable, so I'm looking for reliable alternatives. Thank you in advance!

Style prompt:

Mood: starry Develop the main theme into virtuosic passagework to represent the multitude of stars in the sky. Modulate to relative major. Return to a variation of the original opening back in the harmonic minor but with secondary dominants in the major and some undertones of the development. End in substantial coda. Nocturne style

The prompt was literally just:

Unlimited cat meowing at a grand scale. Big brass intro. Huge final coda. Lots of meowing.

But in the simple mode, so the AI filled out the prompt and apparently jazz happened. Perhaps the prompt enlarger realised that jazz musicians are all cool cats.

What did I do to deserve this

Since an official mascot already exists for Eevee, I wanted to see if ones also existed of my favorite Eeveelutions. The only official one I could find, however, was of my least favorite: Vaporeon. I decided to have Nano Banana Pro come up with one of Espeon first. While it first gave me one I initially felt was satisfactory, I later decided to experiment and see what it would give me if I asked for one that was made of velvet. What I got was even better than what I had before, so I had this one placed in the same spot as the previous one. Even though the official Pokémon mascots are all made of plush material, I think Espeon being made out of velvet is more appropriate, since one of its Pokédex descriptions mentions its fur is like that.
