"Can someone tell me why my video is being rejected due to quality issues?"

What causes AI videos to frequently get rejected on Adobe Stock for 'Quality Issues'? I don't see any obvious visual flaws like morphing, weird shapes, or noticeable artifacts. Even though I'm using cutting-edge video AI models like Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0, most of my assets still get rejected, and my rejection-to-acceptance ratio is extremely high.

So why are there so many unnatural, plastic-looking AI videos all over Adobe Stock? It doesn't make any sense to me.

any tips?

Quality includes your theme, colors, camera angle, lighting, & staging choices.

Is this really the best you can do?

This is what you’re competing with in Stock inventory:

Hope that helps.

I mean that makes sense to me as far as the color is concerned; I’m only grasping at straws as to what MIGHT have been the moderator’s reason for the rejection. In any event, an Adobe Discord channel is filled with posts about AI videos being regularly rejected compared to earlier acceptance rates.

Yes, there are too many unnatural AI videos that were accepted initially, and I suspect that’s why Adobe is being extra critical now. The bone structure is an issue here, and maybe the yellow cast on the other. The ring light is white and wouldn’t be emitting a yellow cast.

Thank you for your answer, I really appreciate it. I do admit there's a weird distortion around the wrist bone. However, in the other video, it looks very realistic. The yellow lighting is far from The ring light, but it still looks natural if we assume there's a warm light illuminating the clothes rack. I have dozens of videos that I've already quality-checked myself, but they still keep getting rejected for quality issues.
