P: Not sure why my images "violate guidelines" (image depicts children)

I attempted to generate video from two different photos of a man and his mother and a family walking in the woods. Both were immediately rejected. Then I used Firefly to generate an image of a man holding his daughter and tried to use that, but it was also rejected. I've attached these images here. I can find no reason that the system would reject these on a content-level. So any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

UPDATE: as of March 19, 2026

While Firefly models and most partner models have restrictions that do not permit children to be used in keyframes in video generation, the Runway Gen-4.5 and Kling 2.5 Turbo do allow children in keyframes.

I was trying to bring a few old photographs of my family to life using Firefly today, and noticed that anytime the photograph was either of a child, or included even one child in it, I would get a notification saying that the refernce image didn't meet Adobe's User Guidelines.

I own the pictures, so it's not a copyright issue. Is using Firefly to bring any pictures that include children prohibited for now? Or is this just a bug I'm running into?

Hello @nrbfilm,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem.

It is not a copyright issue. In the beta version of image to video, the model will not generate videos from images that contain children.

Same here, uploaded a totally tame renaissance painting and it was rejected.

If your image does not contain children, please share it here so we can see what the problem might be.

Hello @Trace35191221nizm,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem.

The beta version of image to video will not generate videos from images containing children. That is why it would not generate the videos.

My best,
