Can you use AI-generated video commercially?

It depends on the tool terms, and the answer is usually split across the output licence, the stock asset licence and the free-tier terms. With AutoScribble, videos you create are yours to use commercially, including adverts, sales material, training and client work, on paid credits and on the 100 free welcome credits.

Can I sell a video I made with AutoScribble to a client?

Yes. Work you create can be delivered to clients as part of your own services. The download is a plain MP4 with no AutoScribble branding added, so nothing needs removing before you hand it over.

Do commercial rights apply to videos made with free welcome credits?

Yes. The 100 welcome credits every new account receives carry the same commercial use as purchased credits. One hundred credits is one finished minute.

What should I check in another tool licence?

Three things: whether commercial use of the output is stated explicitly, whether the stock assets inside the video stay licensed after you cancel, and whether the free tier is licensed for business use at all. The thirteen-question checklist on this page covers the rest.

Are my scripts and videos private?

Yes. Videos are private by default and appear in the public gallery only when you opt in, credited to your chosen public username. Sharing happens only when you create a share link, email it or download the file.

Can You Use an AI Explainer Video Commercially?

The rights question that blocks most business purchases, answered plainly.

Videos you create with AutoScribble are yours to use commercially: adverts, sales decks, websites, training and client work, on paid credits and on the 100 free welcome credits alike. Other tools differ, and the answer usually sits in three clauses rather than one: the output licence, the stock asset licence, and whether the free tier is licensed for business use at all.

The short answer

Most business buyers ask one question and get three different answers, because commercial rights in video tools are split across separate terms. One clause covers the video you generate. A second covers the stock images, characters and music you dropped into it, which are often licensed to you only while your subscription is active. A third quietly restricts the free tier to personal or evaluation use. Read all three before you put a video in a paid campaign.

Who each option suits

Our judgement, based on where each route leaves you on rights:

A tool with clear commercial use on all credits — agencies and freelancers making work for clients, where the video changes hands.
A subscription tool with asset licences tied to the plan — in-house teams who will keep paying while the video is in use.
A free tier — internal drafts, tests and learning. Check its terms before anything faces a customer.

Where AutoScribble stands, in plain English

Confirmed against our own terms, 13 September 2026. Videos you generate with AutoScribble are yours to use commercially. That covers paid adverts, your website, sales and pitch material, onboarding and staff training, and work you deliver to a client. It applies whether the credits were bought or came from the 100 welcome credits every new account receives. Your download is a plain MP4 with no AutoScribble branding added, so nothing has to be removed before it is published.

The clauses to check in anyone else terms

This is the original element of this page: a checklist to run against any vendor terms before you commit. Copy it into your notes and answer each line with a quote from their document, not from their marketing page.

OUTPUT
 1. Who owns the finished video — you, or a licence from them?
 2. Is commercial use permitted explicitly, or only "not
    prohibited"? Ask for the sentence.
 3. Can you sell the video, or work containing it, to a client?

ASSETS INSIDE THE VIDEO
 4. Are stock images, characters, music and voices licensed for
    commercial use?
 5. Does that licence survive if you cancel the subscription, or
    must you stop using published videos?
 6. Are any assets "editorial use only"?

FREE AND TRIAL TIERS
 7. Is the free tier licensed for business use, or personal and
    evaluation only?
 8. Do watermark-free exports carry different rights from
    watermarked ones?

BRAND AND ATTRIBUTION
 9. Is attribution or a logo required in or around the video?
10. Can you add your own logo and brand marks freely?

AI-SPECIFIC
11. Can they use your scripts or videos to train models or as
    promotional examples?
12. Is your work private by default, or public unless you object?

CHANGE OF TERMS
13. What happens to videos already published if the terms change?

When a different route is the better choice

Our judgement: if your video will carry a claim that has to survive legal review — a regulated financial promotion, a medical claim, a broadcast advert — the licence is only part of the job, and you want a production route with sign-off built in. An agency or a specialist freelancer brings contracted indemnities and named accountability, which no self-service tool provides. For the other ninety per cent of business video, clear commercial-use terms and your own approval process are enough.

Privacy, which buyers usually ask about next

AutoScribble videos are private by default. A film appears in the public gallery only when its owner chooses to put it there, credited to the public username they pick. Sharing outside the app is deliberate: an expiring private share link, an email to saved recipients, or a one-click MP4 download with a caption ready for X, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Next step

Run the thirteen questions above against the tool you are evaluating, then make the same video here with your welcome credits and compare the answers you get in writing.
