Get your video certified

Submit your human-created video, along with supporting evidence. Supporting content might include behind the scenes content, software screen captures, and anything you have to support your case for certification. Our team will review. This might take some time. We may come back with questions. Please also include a credit list that shows you are a credited creator of the content. This is a requirement for certification.

Verify your video's authenticity

Very few generative platforms provide the meta data necessary to automatically authenticate content. If you made your work with Adobe software it is verifiable. For all other platforms such as Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling, etc. the meta data does not yet exist embedded in the content. CHG is here as a nudge to those platform to begin included that meta data.

About Certified Human Generated

What is Certified Human Generated?

Certified Human Generated (CHG) is a platform where creators can submit videos to be reviewed and certified as human generated. If approved, the work receives a unique certification code and is featured in the CHG Gallery — a curated collection of verified human-made video content.

Why was CHG created?

CHG was created for video creators who want their audience to know that their work was reviewed and confirmed not to have been prompted and output by an AI video generator. As generative tools become more widespread, CHG offers creators a way to bring transparency to their process and communicate it clearly to their viewers.

Who is behind CHG?

CHG is run by SpecialGuest, SpecialGuestX and 1stAveMachine. The underlying certification technology is provided open source by the Content Authentication Initiative. All submitted work is reviewed by the SpecialGuest community.

How does it work?

CHG is a human-reviewed certification system. When work is submitted, it is shared with our network of reviewers, who can approve it, deny it, or request more information.

There is one requirement for certification: no part of the video can be prompted and output by an AI video generator. We recognize that many creative tools include built-in AI features — CHG does not judge what tools were used, only whether any part of the final content was fully generated by AI.

To support the review process, creators are encouraged to submit evidence such as behind-the-scenes content, work-in-progress exports, or screen recordings. If reviewers are unsure, the submission will be marked as "unclear" and feedback will be provided.

CHG certification is not perfect. It's a prototype for what this process could become once AI-generated content includes embedded metadata. Until then, we do our best with transparent, human-powered review.

What to submit:

CHG is for "best in class" creative video work and must be submitted by someone credited with the creation of that work. Yes, that means CHG will be judging work at the same time that certification will be considered. In the short term, it is the best way to focus the time spent by the CHG team. The platform should not be used to certify work that is not yours or to "check" if AI was used to make something. Videos are limited to 30MB for now but will soon be increased.
