What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

The document each permission is filed in

A reader clearing a campaign starts at the plan page and the terms. Vendors here file the answer in four different places, and the most important sentence on at least one row sits outside the path anybody follows. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. Locations where a commercial-use statement was actually read for this register, with the reachability judged by the path a buyer follows. Order. By how likely a reader following the plan page and the terms is to reach it.

1Filing decides whether a sentence gets read

A grant nobody can locate is worth less than a weaker grant on the plan page. That is not a criticism of the drafting; it is an observation about how buyers move through a site, and it is the reason this register records where each reading came from.

The pattern is consistent enough to plan around: the clearest wording tends to be in a help article and the binding wording tends to be in a contract, and neither is where the price is.

2Two ways a plan page misleads

It can carry a sentence that answers a different question, such as a claim about training material where a permission would sit. Or it can carry figures and marks while the real boundary lives in a separate licensing document keyed to something else entirely.

Both produce a confident reader with the wrong conclusion. Neither is fixed by reading the plan page more carefully, which is the part that makes them worth recording.

3What a vendor could do in an afternoon

Repeat the sentence where the buyer is. A grant filed in an export tutorial costs nothing to restate on a priced page, and a restriction attached to a presenter costs nothing to flag beside the presenter picker.

Until that happens the location is part of what a reader is buying, and it is the part no feature comparison ever shows.

4From the making side

Alongside the terms behind “Where it is filed”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

You can recomposite with different end-card text, and in step-by-step mode you can reshoot individual segments. The finished file can also be downloaded and shared with a link.

For places, every photo you add becomes a set the shots can move through, up to four.
