The two free tiers that write their exclusion out
Two rows here state a free-tier exclusion in words: a personal use licence that defines what it rules out, and a free plan published with no commercial rights to media. Everywhere else the reading comes from an absence. As of 2026-09-12.
| Vendor | The exclusion as published | What the wording turns on |
|---|---|---|
| LTX Studio | A personal use licence, excluding promotional activity for a business | The word promotional, which reaches unpaid posts |
| Fliki | No commercial rights to media on the free plan | The word media, which points at the bundled library |
Inclusion rule. Vendors whose free plan carries a written statement about what may not be done with the output, read from the plan page or published answers. Order. By how far the published definition reaches, widest first.
1A quotable exclusion is worth more than a convincing absence
Both kinds of reading lead a careful user to the same behaviour. Only one of them can be cited in a procurement note, and the difference is the whole reason this register records how each reading was established.
An absence also cannot be relied on in the other direction. Nothing on a blank card forbids anything, so a reader who wants a rule in writing has to ask for one where no sentence exists.
2Each exclusion turns on a single word
One turns on promotional, which reaches an organic post on a company account and not only a bought placement. That is wider than most readers expect and is the more useful of the two definitions.
The other turns on media, which points at the bundled stock library rather than at the render. It leaves a gap for a clip made entirely from a user's own uploads, and the gap belongs to that vendor's page rather than to a definition.
3Why so few vendors do this
Writing an exclusion invites questions about its edges, and a missing line invites none. A vendor that defines personal use will be asked about portfolios, pitches and employee posts; a vendor that leaves a card blank will not.
Which makes the two rows here worth pointing at. They cost their authors something, and they are the only cells in this column a reader can act on without explaining a layout.

Alongside the terms behind “Written exclusions”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:
On a segment’s card, Insert adds a blank segment right after it: write its header and shots.
