Who owns the video you generate?
Separate ownership of your script from the rights to use the finished output.
Who owns an AI-generated video depends on the applicable service terms, the inputs and any third-party material in the result. AutoScribble’s published Terms say you own the script and brief you write, and that the finished video is yours to use commercially. Read the current terms and check any outside assets before using a video in a campaign.
Ownership and permission are different questions
Ownership asks who holds legal rights in a work. A licence or permission describes how someone may use it. A service’s terms may address each differently, and third-party music, logos, artwork or text can carry separate conditions. For a high-value or regulated campaign, ask a qualified adviser to review the exact terms and assets.
AutoScribble’s published terms in plain English
The Terms of Use say the customer owns the script and brief they write, and that the finished video is theirs to use commercially, including adverts, sales, social posts, training, client work and resale as part of their services. They also say AutoScribble retains its software and branding. Read the complete Terms of Use for the controlling wording; this summary is not legal advice.
Questions to ask any video supplier
Keep the answers with the purchase record.
- Who owns my script, uploaded materials and final video?
- What commercial uses are allowed, including client work, advertising and resale?
- Are any provider, stock, music, font or image rights separate from the service licence?
- Can the supplier display my work publicly, and how do I change that setting?
- What happens to source material and outputs if I close the account?
- Which terms apply to free, promotional and paid outputs?
Common rights mistakes
Assuming “commercial use” answers every ownership question may overlook third-party assets. Uploading a logo or script without checking permission can create rights issues unrelated to the video tool. Relying on an old screenshot instead of the current contract may leave the team using superseded wording; save the dated terms you approved.
A practical next step
For an ordinary explainer, check the service terms, confirm you have permission to use every input and review the output before publication. For a campaign with substantial commercial value, ask counsel to review the exact licence and any third-party asset terms. AutoScribble’s pricing page lists current purchase options.
Choose a format that fits the rights and audience
The asset type is part of the rights decision: first consider when a video may be the wrong answer, then document the inputs and intended use in the complete explainer video buying guide.

- What do AutoScribble’s terms say about generated videos?
- The published Terms say you own the script and brief you write, and that the finished video is yours to use commercially. Read the complete current Terms for the exact agreement.
- Can I use an AutoScribble video for commercial work?
- AutoScribble’s published Terms describe commercial uses including adverts, sales, social posts, training, client work and resale as part of your services. Check the current Terms and the rights for any outside material.
- Does a video tool’s licence cover a logo or music I upload?
- A service’s terms do not replace rights you need for third-party material. Confirm permission for each logo, track, image or passage of text you provide.
