I have all image rights, but I cannot have the image animated.

I have all image rights from my client, but I can't animate the image. I am supposed to create videos of the celebrity hosts for a television production, among other things. However, Firefly gives me error messages saying that I am violating the guidelines.
But I am not.

Sometimes it works though.

Can the production company, which also uses Adobe licenses itself, arrange for legal clearance for images of these people?

Thank you. That's very inconvenient for a professional tool.

So I need to use a legally not cleared tool to finish my project.

Hi @einzelbild,

 

My apologies, I should have keyed in on this on your original post. The Firefly video model will not generate a video from a keyframe of a "famous" person. How it determines someone is "famous" is not entirely clear. 

 

Your image was famous enough that Grok was able to identify the person. So, even if you have the rights to the image and legal permission from the famous person, there is no wany to convey that to the model and no way to override that restriction.

 

My best,

Hi. Thanks for the fast response. I just recreated the problem on mobile phone. 

The prompt is:

"He is raising bis fist victories and smiles confidently into the camera. Behind him an amazing and colorful firework."

I had other photos only containing adults fully clothed walking towards the camera and with prompts like "walks straight to the camera and smiles" generating the same error. One picture of another person in the same pose worked fine.

Hello @einzelbild,

Thank you for your message. 

 

It is likely not a rights issue. Does the keyframe you are using contain a child?  If so, the model will not generate images based on keyframes that contain what it believes is a child.

 

If you keyframe does not contain a child, can you please reply with the following information:
• A screen shot of the whole browser or application window (including your avatar in the upper right corner) with the error or problem showing or when the problem is happening (not just the error message itself).
• The full prompt you were using.
• If you were using reference images or keyframes, please upload those.

Thanks,
