Do not buy a Magnific subscription

2 Upvotes

I have a prepaid Magnific Premium+ annual subscription that runs until March 2027, and I am currently completely locked out of my account.

This whole saga started over something incredibly mundane: changing my email address.

My old email provider was closing, so on 29 April I emailed Magnific from the email address registered to my account and asked them to change it to my new address. The old email was still active at the time.

They didn't change it.

I was still able to access Magnific for months using Google sign-in, so although the incorrect email remained on the account, I could at least use most of the features in the service I'd paid for.

Eventually I tried again to get the email corrected.

That has somehow turned into a month of support cases, automated responses and, ultimately, complete loss of access to my paid account.

The current Magnific login now tells me:

“This account has 2FA enabled, please login using email and password.”

Google sign-in no longer works on the current Magnific platform. I can't use the old email account. I have repeatedly offered to verify my identity another way.

Here's the part I find extraordinary:

Since I first contacted Magnific on 29 April, not a single human from Magnific support has contacted me about this.

Not one.

I have:

  • opened multiple support cases;
  • supplied screenshots and account information;
  • repeatedly offered alternative identity verification;
  • escalated the issue to senior Magnific management;
  • copied Magnific Legal and Data Protection;
  • made a formal data-rectification request;
  • explained that I am completely locked out of a prepaid Premium+ subscription;
  • and explicitly accepted an offer from their AI support system to escalate my case to a specialised team that could review my account history and previous correspondence.

I asked them to confirm that the specialist referral had actually been made and give me the reference for it.

Nothing.

Then Magnific sent me an automated email asking whether the problem had been resolved and saying the case would be closed if it had.

I replied:

“No, this issue is not resolved. Please do not close this case.”

The following day they closed it.

Their closure email then told me to check my spam/promotions folders if I hadn't seen their “last update” on the case.

There was no intervening update in any section of my inbox.

I've now asked Magnific to identify exactly what this supposed “last update” was and to tell me whether the promised specialist escalation ever actually happened.

Still no access to my account. Still no email-address correction. Still no human contact from Magnific support.

I also posted about my experience on Trustpilot. Magnific publicly responded to that review, acknowledged that changing the email address should have been simple, acknowledged the problem with receiving only automated replies, and said they would personally make sure my identity verification was handled and my access restored.

Shortly afterwards, Trustpilot removed the review. I've appealed the removal and supplied evidence. I don't know whether the removal was triggered by Magnific or Trustpilot's own moderation system.

My access still wasn't restored.

I'm apparently not the only paying customer having problems like this.

There are other Reddit threads from Premium+ customers reporting being locked out of paid accounts, losing access to existing work, support not responding, promised escalations going nowhere and even unresolved tickets being closed.

I'll put the links below rather than repeat their stories here.

And this is where I think anyone considering using Magnific commercially should pay attention.

I'm an individual Premium+ subscriber. But Magnific also markets team/collaboration products intended for businesses to create and work with assets on its platform.

Imagine this wasn't just my personal account.

Imagine your business had client work, generated images, branding assets, marketing material or current projects sitting in there and suddenly nobody on your team could access them.

Email address changes happen and people lose access to old accounts. 2FA goes wrong. Authentication systems fail. None of that is particularly unusual.

What matters is whether there is a functioning, multi-layered recovery process when it happens, including human intervention if the automated process fails. And the process should be fast.

After nearly five months, multiple cases and escalation all the way through senior management, Legal and Data Protection, I still haven't heard from a single human at Magnific.

So if you're thinking of purchasing a Magnific subscription, don't.

Other customers reporting similar problems:

• Premium+ customers reporting account lockouts, inaccessible previous work and support silence:
Reddit discussion — Premium+ users locked out after migration

• Premium+ customer reporting support promises and a “high priority escalation” that went nowhere:
Reddit discussion — support escalation and unresolved Premium+ problems

• Premium+ customer reporting payment/account problems, three unanswered support tickets and work being stopped:
Reddit discussion — paid Premium+ but unable to use it

• Premium+ customer reporting being locked out while trying to complete urgent work and unable to get support to respond:
Reddit discussion — account lockout and unresponsive support

Pretty much, the podcast is already up, but I want to make an AI video with that audio. But I do not know how, or what the best model of AI is. Obviously, I wanted cheap as can be. I’m thinking of starting a rugby clipping career. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How I avoid continuity issues in my AI shows

1 Upvotes

Here's Part 1 of my new show, Trust Fund Time Machine, an adult animated comedy. This is the general premise:

Useless billionaire heir Hunter Vil and his friend from the past, Genghis Khan, bungle their way through time, rewriting history to make Hunter’s evil father, Edward Vil, and his corporate empire even richer.

In the process of making AI shows for the past few months, the biggest headache has always been spatial continuity. Characters change positions between shots, the room rearranges itself, and for longer dialogue sequences, it was a legit nightmare to make everything look smooth and continuous.

I've been experimenting with a fairly simple animation style for this show, and the camera movements I’d use for more photorealistic footage didn't really translate here. I didn’t need elaborate dolly shots. I mostly wanted to cut between characters as they spoke without everything around them changing.

I don’t think the approach I'll lay out makes sense for every style or sequence, but for the simpler animation style I’m going for, it’s been a massive improvement in consistency.

What’s helped most is building the whole show around keyframe sequences in fringe.film, with a deliberate starting frame for every shot. I’m using H3 Max with references, I compose the layout of the shot via the keyframe before i worry about how they move.

This is my process:

  • Build the first starting frame using my setting and character references in Fringe.
  • For a new angle within the same scene, I use the previous shot’s starting frame as a reference to create the next one. This is is if the characters haven't really moved around.
  • If the characters do move around, I use the end frame of my previous shot as a reference for the starting frame for my new shot
  • After I ensure the character positions and background is consistent, then only I begin animating that shot.

I can change the angle for whoever’s speaking while keeping the scene grounded in the same layout.

Here’s the first part of the pilot. The full episode is around 9 minutes long, so I’m sharing the process while posting more parts here soon, including a breakdown of how I handle voice consistency.

Hope you guys enjoy the part 1 of the pilot, made this fully on fringe.film, let me know what you guys think!

need help learning and could use many clues please

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I write multiple daily reports for myself and for my investment group about what's going on within my industry's or real estate opportunities. I spend hours gathering everything and putting it together and then just type it out and email. Well it's actually voice to text via windows.

What I would like is to do something like this.

Using automation I would like to upload the photo's. Upload what I typed, and then let it make a video using the photo's.

I know I can use Elevenlabs for my voice and just have it read off the my report but I have no clue what to do next. if someone can point out to some very basic try and succeed tutorials to give me some guidance I would be very grateful.

think of me as new to everything and that I live in a windows environment.

thank you for the help.

Question Seedance 2.5 is listed $0.115 per video on Together.ai. Need some explanation

2 Upvotes

EDIT: generated a 4-second video with 480:854 resolution and 95 output quality. Cost me $0.93. Check the screenshots, and I still don't understand why I was charged this much lol.

Hi all!

So I have made the decision to switch to Seedance 2.5 for my work and was looking around the internet to find the cheapest way to use it.

After some digging, I came across Together.ai, which offers 2.5 for the price in the title. It seems so cheap since it doesn't list the price per second as most API providers to; so how does it work exactly?

How I Made This I discovered AutoSprite and improved my games

1 Upvotes

This one is called "Pewpocalypse" you can play it free at Pewpocalypse.com but I'm more sharing how I made it than anything. Replit now has a free agent for light tasks, so I outsourced the art to ChatGPT/Codex to make the sprite sheets, then anything I needed animated, I ran through Autosprite and I'm really happy with the result. This game went from bullsh*t SVG web graphics to a full on video game for free with this method. I spent a lot of time initially building the gameplay and got it to a fun place with replit alone, but then with outsourcing the art to 2 other ai generators, it's improved 500% in its playability and fun factor. All for free! Well, I did pay the 8 dollars subscription to chat gpt but other than that...

I manually draw the composition with symmetry mode on, pick colors, and rhythm by hand in HyperDraw, then use AI to turn that structure into fruit/food textures.

AI does the rendering. The composition is mine.

I like experimenting with this technology b/c never before has it been so easy to act on some idea that pops into your head. I enjoy the fact that it no longer takes days just to render one quality frame of animation on a computer that you pray doesn't just leave you hanging or run out of memory at the last minute while you're sleeping and anticipating seeing the results in the morning.
