Let's find the "QUALITY ISSUES" challenge

Explorer ,
Aug 08, 2025 Aug 08, 2025

Hey everyone,

I thought it would be fun and hopefully useful to start a little challenge here.

 

I recently had a video rejected for “Quality Reasons,” but when I reviewed the file, I couldn’t spot the issues mentioned in the rejection notice.

 

The reviewer’s possible reasons were:

Unintentional shaking (The camera is completely steady and doesn’t move)

Empty black or white frames (none that I can find)

Compression or audio problems (there’s no audio at all)

 

So here’s the challenge: can anyone actually spot a quality issue in this video?
If yes, please explain what you see.

The girl has a sudden and abrupt movement of her back and hip at sec. 5, the animation is not fluid ... from experience I have already seen this type of rejections ... I have more than 3000 videos, no AI ... but I know what a fluid motion is ... just my 2 cents  ...

Agreed, but I'm still blaming the fingers. If this had been submitted as a still image, they would be the first thing the moderator would look at.

Hello, I have an update.

 

Yesterday I uploaded a very similar concept, no levitation, no rose petals, and with slightly improved finger detail and it has been accepted. So, we can assume that the previously mentioned elements were the reasons for the earlier rejection.

 

Thanks everyone!

Brother you continue to interpreting my comments to justify your repeated and boring replies.

I have NEVER said I keep resubmitting until I get approval, much less recommend anyone doing that.


By @ZALEZPHOTO

Sorry, but you are repeating this again and again. 

 

It may be boring to you, but new users may take your word for granted.

You completely ignored what I said and what you keep saying.

It's okay, we're both wasting time at this time.

No need to sugar coat anything or let our egos take over.

Let's enjoy the day!

The picture has been refused for cause. Not absurd.

That were @Nancy OShea's words.

 

You are always pointing out your 30 years of experiance. We all have many years of experience, but I know a girl having only 5 years of experience as a professional, and she's taking better pictures than you do. Years of experience is not all...

30 years of experience is not an egocentric declaration. 

It means that I have experience on what makes a great or mediocre photo is, (and don't make that determination just on focus or exposure). That I understand the value of high standards and consistency in the work I deliver to my clients.  30 yrs of experience does not mean that I'm better than anyone, just like an "expert" here knows better than me.

Tomorrow someone will fall in love  shooting tomorrow, and within 3 years will be making high 6 figures with their work, and tomorrow someone will submit their first asset, and in 2 months probably sell more than I am.

 

What is also absurd is that the rejection of the image I shared, was eventually accepted with insignificant changes to it,  which goes to the very core of my argument that the Adobe's selection system needs improvement for the good of everyone.

That's it for me for today.

Your "ranking", whatever that is, has nothing to do with you acceptance rate. I'm sure that the Moderators don't even know whether you have a new or old or successful or unsuccessful account.

You may also learning to submit better assets. That's when my rejection rate diminished.

I'm not exactly sure sure why you continue misrepresenting my words and experience here, and continue to make assumptions and misrepresentations...

I genuinly don't understand why you can't see we are both on the same side, and only come here to contribute. Our personal experiences and opinions are what they are,

let that be and give up whatever drives you to redifine my positions.

Thank you!

First glances are deceiving. Video has a lot of moving parts. And AI is seldom perfect at all of them. 

 

Apart from the irregular levitation already mentioned, 

1. Daisies in the foreground start out in focus, and end up blurry.  Why?

2. Background leaves/petals appear out of nowhere. Where are they coming from?

I think it could be argued. that there are some issues with the fingers.
