Veo2 beta stands to lose by blocking human images for experimentation. It misses out on emotional expressions and other nuances. Is there any plan to lift these restrictions?

Hi @Ganesh_R,
There are issues we are seeing with the images in Veo. Already escalated this with our internal team, hope to see a fix soon.
Thanks

Thank you @Govind_Keshari
Veo2 was already having very good quality using images with humans before the update/breakdown. Do we have any ETA on when the facility would be restored? Thanks.
I will follow up on this in few days.

Agreed, it’s useless for what I want to use it for. None of the images include nudity or any sexual reference - just humans. WHY is it blocking?

@Govind_Keshari please make veo 2 able to generate videos from images including humans… that function is pretty useless with that restriction and it also blocks you it if sees something that resembles a human part
Hey folks, that issue of prompting with image is resolved now. I just tried generating video with a human image, it’s woking fine.
Veo2 only doesn’t support uploading images with children.
I’m using the VEO 2 free trial in google AI Studio and it keeps saying “Failed to generate video: Images containing humans are not permitted for video generation in your country. Please use an image without people.”
So like can you tell me which countries allow it?? I’m trying to use it in Spain
Hey @Xisco_72, There is some limitation of Veo to generate video from image in your region. Please check this doc for the limitations.
Hi Govind, Veo in AI Studio behaves inconsistently with respect to images containing humans. This is true for even Asia Pacific region. Sometimes it works, sometimes it blocks.
Hey @Ganesh_R
We request you to consider the limitation mentioned here and provide us more details of what you have tried so far? How frequently is it blocking. So that we can replicate from our end too.
Thank you!
@Sangeetha_Jana we tried to generate video from a image (refer below attached image sample) using veo-3.1-generate-preview model and received an error
The prompt was given to generate a video with the below image input and adding a sunny outdoor background.
Request to please check this as why video generation is failing.
Attached herewith is the image uploaded with prompt for video generation.
Thanks and Regards,
Piyush

I just arrived at this topic for the first time, and it took no time to understand that Veo is a hot mess when it comes to rejecting benign human images. I am trying to allow a Frame to Video image of a Mother and her children. According to new Gemini 3, if it was a picture of the Madonna and Child, Veo would kick it out! The best question is this: What alternative Video Generator out there, right now, can produce results just as good as Veo 3.1, including spoken dialogue and is not by insane lawyers?
