# Troubleshooting 

# 🛠️ How do I troubleshoot Atlabs? (Common issues & FAQs)

Most issues fall into one of five buckets. Jump to the guide for your problem, or if you can't find what you need, click the **chat icon** (bottom-right) on any page to reach support.

* **Generation stuck, failed, or off-target?** → [Why is my video generation stuck or failing?]
* **Visuals, characters, motion, or lip sync wrong?** → [How do I fix visual and scene problems?]
* **Voiceover, music, or audio issues?** → [How do I fix voiceover and audio problems?]
* **Can't export or download?** → [Why won't my video export or download?]
* **Login, plan features, or branding?** → [Why can't I log in or access a feature?]

### Video generation is stuck or not completing
* Wait up to 5 minutes before taking action
* Check My Stories - the video may have completed in the background
* If still stuck, refresh the page and check My Stories again
* Try regenerating with a slightly modified prompt

### Generation failed
* Credits are not deducted for failed generations
* Retry with the same or a refined prompt
* If it fails repeatedly, try a different AI model

### The video doesn't match the idea or script
* Be more specific - add setting, tone, mood, and audience context
* Use the AI Script Writer to structure your idea first
* Use the Generate Storyboard to check the scene structure before full generation

### Scenes look generic or repetitive
* Add more descriptive detail to each scene's image prompt
* Click Enhance in the Visual tab to improve prompts automatically
* Try a different visual style or AI model for the affected scenes

### 🖼️  Visual & Scene Issues
Fixing problems with scene visuals, character consistency, motion, and lip sync.

**Scene visual doesn't match narration**
* Click the regenerate icon on the scene card to regenerate that scene only
* Edit the Image Prompt in the Visual tab to be more specific
* Use the Edit Image tab to make targeted changes without full regeneration

**Character looks different across scenes**
* Click Characters in the top bar and reapply character consistency
* Define more specific Visual Appearance and Clothing in character setup
* Regenerate affected scenes after reapplying character settings

**Motion looks unnatural**
* Try Seedance 1 Pro Fast - the most reliable default motion model
* Simplify your motion prompt — one clear action works better than multiple instructions
* Use a shorter duration and regenerate

**Lip sync looks off**
* Ensure the scene has a clear, forward-facing face
* Regenerate the scene visual with a close-up or medium shot before applying lip sync
* Try a different lip sync model

### 🎤  Audio & Voiceover Issues
Resolving voiceover timing, tone, music, and audio generation problems.

**Voiceover doesn't fit scene timing**
* Shorten the narration text in the Voiceover tab
* Increase scene duration in the Settings tab
* Split the scene into two shorter scenes using Split Scene

**Voice tone doesn't match content**
* Change the Speaking Character in the Voiceover tab
* Add emotion tags - Excitedly, Angrily, Calmly - to control delivery
* Try a different Country Accent and Voice combination

**Background music overpowers voiceover**
* Reduce music volume to 20–30% in the Music panel
* Use ambient or background-labelled tracks

Audio not generating with video
* Not all models support audio - check model description before generating
* Toggle Audio ON in the Motion tab
* Models with native audio support: Google Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 Pro, Sora 2 Pro, LTX-2 Pro

### 📤  Export Issues
Troubleshooting export failures, greyed-out buttons, watermarks, and download problems.

**Export button is greyed out**
* Motion is still generating on one or more scenes
* Wait for all scenes to complete - check for spinning loaders in the storyboard
* Then click Export again

**Video downloaded with watermark**
* Watermark-free export requires a paid plan
* Upgrade from the Subscription tab in Account settings

**Premiere Pro option not appearing**
* Premiere Pro export requires Plus plan or above

**Export failed or didn't download**
* Check your internet connection and try again
* Try Share Preview Link first to confirm the video rendered correctly
* If the issue persists, contact Atlabs support via the chat icon (bottom right)

### 🔑  Account & Access Issues
Fixing login problems, plan features, and brand settings.

**Can't log in**
* Use the forgot password option on the login screen
* Try signing in with Google if you originally signed up that way
* Clear browser cache and try again

**Features not available on my plan**
The following options are available:
* Check your current plan in the Subscription tab
* Compare features on the pricing page - click Learn More for a full breakdown
* Upgrade directly from the Subscription tab

**Brand logo not appearing on exports**
* Confirm you clicked Update Settings after uploading the logo
* Check Logo Position is set to a visible location
* Re-upload the logo and save again

### Quick answers to the most common questions about Atlabs.

**Can I use Atlabs for free?**
Yes. Atlabs has a free plan with limited credits to try generation. Paid plans start at $15/month (annual).

**Does Atlabs own my generated videos?**
No. Videos you generate on Atlabs belong to you. See Atlabs' terms of service for full details.

**Can I upload my own footage?**
Yes. The Visual tab accepts uploads. The UGC Product Ads and Script to Video workflows also support media uploads.

**Can I generate videos in languages other than English?**
Yes. Set your Language before generating, or use the Translate tool in the storyboard top bar. Max plan supports 40+ languages.

**How long does generation take?**
Typically 1–3 minutes for a full video depending on length, model, and platform load. Storyboard generation is faster.

**Can I edit a video after exporting?**
Yes. Open the project from My Stories, make edits, and export again. Re-exports do not cost additional credits.
What's the difference between Generate Video and Generate Storyboard?
Generate Storyboard produces a scene structure preview at lower credit cost. Generate Video produces the full video with visuals, voiceover, and motion. Always use Storyboard first for longer or complex videos.

**Can I use Atlabs for client work?**
Yes. Use Clone to Account to deliver final projects to clients. Agencies should consider Max or Enterprise for unlimited custom actors, styles, and priority support.
