What SceneMixer publishes about rights
SceneMixer (scenemixer.com), an AI short-drama generator, grants commercial use of output to every user with no plan named, and states that output made with free credits counts as paid for. Its compliance guide frames ownership around the human-authored layers. As of 2026-10-13.
| Point | What the vendor publishes |
|---|---|
| Free tier | Commercial use included; output made with free credits counts as paid for |
| Commercial use from | Every user, with no plan named |
| What is owned | The human-authored layers: script, selection and arrangement of shots, substantive edits |
| Input restriction | A photograph on a paid plan, with the rights to it; documented consent for a real person |
Inclusion rule. The same four points are recorded for every vendor here. A point the vendor does not publish is recorded as no statement rather than inferred from terms of service. Order. Fixed order, identical on every product page.
1A grant with no plan attached
Most entries in this register answer the rights question with a price: commercial use begins at this plan. This one answers it for every user. Its rights guide says what is generated belongs to the user to the extent the law allows, royalty-free, commercial use included, and that output made with a free allowance counts as paid for. The same guide names two limits: registration as a copyrighted work is not promised, and output is not exclusive to the user.
The ownership answer sits in a second guide and points at the human contributions rather than at the generated frames: the script, the selection and arrangement of shots, and substantive edits, kept on record with dates. Between them the two guides answer both questions this register keeps apart.
2A photograph needs the rights, and a real person needs consent
A photograph can stand in for a character's reference on a paid plan, provided the user holds the rights to it; the character guide says the photo then serves as the sheet. The terms add the line that matters most for brand work: deepfakes of real people without documented consent are prohibited.
That is the familiar shape of a likeness rule, permission plus paperwork, and it puts the obligation where the risk is, on whoever supplies the face. A presenter who looks like a named person, with that person's written agreement, is a request this arrangement can meet.
3What the grant does not cover
The guide is explicit about what it does not promise: no warranty that output infringes nobody's rights, and commercial use remaining subject to the terms of the model services underneath. Those are the qualifications a brand's review will want quoted beside the grant, and they are published in the same place as the grant rather than in a separate document.
