Are seamless loops animated in After Effects from AI-generated still images allowed as motion graphics?
I have created five seamless 4K motion graphics loops, each 10 seconds long, using Adobe After Effects and still images originally generated with Midjourney.
The animations include flowing liquid effects around product podiums, a marbled-paper kaleidoscope, and a moving mid-century geometric pattern. I understand that these files must be labeled as created using generative AI.
However, the video guidelines state that contributors should not create videos from still images, except for timelapse or stop motion.
Could someone clarify whether still-image-based artwork that has been substantially animated and composited in After Effects is eligible for submission as motion graphics?
Or does this restriction exclude any animation that uses an AI-generated still image as its source, regardless of the amount of animation work involved?
I would also like to confirm whether fully procedural animations created directly in After Effects, without AI-generated source images, are eligible.
Thank you for helping me understand the distinction before submitting further work.
