Request allowlist access for Veo 3.1 image-to-video with the account owner's own likeness (consented, adult) — project gen-lang-client-03168333

Gemini API
1

Hello Google team,

I am requesting allowlist access for Veo 3.1 image-to-video on my Gemini API project, so that I can animate MY OWN likeness. I am the person in the images, and I am the owner of the project and of the company that publishes the videos.

Project details

  • Project ID: gen-lang-client-03168333..
  • Project number: 10683464495..
  • API: Gemini API (Google AI Studio), paid tier (Tier 2, post-paid billing)
  • Region: Brazil
  • Models: veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview and veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview
  • Feature: image-to-video with personGeneration = allow_adult, where the input image shows a realistic adult man who is myself

What happens today

All requests are filtered. The operation finishes with no video and returns:

rai_media_filtered_reasons = "Sorry, we can't create videos with real people's names or likenesses. Please remove the celebrity reference and try again."

The prompts contain no celebrity or public-figure names. The filtered likeness is my own face, in images generated from my own studio photographs.

Use case

I run BIOPDI, a Brazilian manufacturer of materials-testing equipment (universal testing machines, compression and flexural tests). We publish short educational videos (about 40 seconds, vertical) that explain standard mechanical tests to engineers and quality-control professionals. I am the on-screen host. Today we produce them as 2D cartoons, and we want a realistic version with the same host: me.

Safeguards

  • Single subject: only my own likeness. No other real person, no public figures, no minors, no third-party photos.
  • I give my explicit, written consent to generate videos of my likeness for my company’s educational content, and I can provide a signed declaration privately if needed.
  • Every published video will be labeled as AI-generated, including the “altered or synthetic content” disclosure on YouTube and the AI labels on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
  • Content is technical and educational only: no political, news-like, deceptive, sexual or harmful content, and no impersonation of anyone else.
  • We comply with the Gemini API Additional Terms of Service, the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy, and Google’s generative AI usage policies.

If this request belongs to a different channel (for example Vertex AI or a form), please point me to it and I will submit it there.

Thank you,

Mardoqueu Martins da Costa
Owner, BIOPDI

Hello @Mardoqueu_Martins ,

No allowlist is required for this functionality. For image-to-video requests, omit the personGeneration parameter entirely or set it to allow_adult when providing a reference image. Refer this document.
