Subject: Inquiry About Using AI-Generated Elements in After Effects Video

 

Hello Adobe Stock Support,

 

I am a contributor, and I would like to clarify whether my project aligns with Adobe Stock’s policies. I create animation videos using After Effects, and I sometimes use small AI-generated elements (such as a hammer, helmet, or wrench) as part of the composition.

 

For example, I recently created a short video for Labor Day. In this video:

 

I generated a helmet, hammer, and wrench using an AI tool.

 

I imported these elements into After Effects, removed their background, resized them, and placed them within my custom background.

 

I applied motion effects (wiggle, pop-up animation, etc.) to integrate them into the scene.

 

The final video was fully animated and edited in After Effects by me.

 

My questions are:

 

1. Since only small elements were AI-generated (not the entire video), can I submit this as my own self-created content?

 

 

2. Do I need to label it as “AI-generated,” even though most of the work (animation, background, and effects) was done manually in After Effects?

 

 

3. Are there any specific guidelines I should follow to ensure compliance with Adobe Stock’s policies?

 

 

 

I appreciate your guidance on this matter. Thank you for your time!

 

 

Best regards, Moawia Hussain

Ask yourself this question. Would the video work as well without Generative AI images?

If no, then it's significant enough to warrant labeling it as AI.

If you don't need AI, remove it.

 

See how that works?

Why are people always so eager to ask questions like this?

  • This is not contributor support
  • The rules say that if part of your asset is generative AI, you need to mark it as generative AI.
  • The rules also state that when a minor part of an asset has been modified by generative AI, you can omit the marking.
  • Minor and major parts need to be determined by you.
  • If in doubt, mark it as generative AI.

As for your example, those assets created by generative AI play a major role in your video, the video should be marked as created with generative AI.
