Consent, and the three things a document usually asks of it
Where a document conditions use on consent, the requirement usually has three parts: that the person agreed, that they agreed without pressure, and that they knew what they were agreeing to. Only the third is about paperwork. As of 2026-09-22.
| Question | What the phrase answers |
|---|---|
| Agreement exists | Fails when nobody asked |
| Given freely | Fails with an employee under pressure |
| Informed as to scope | Fails when the use grows later |
| Age | A separate, checkable condition |
Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.
1Scope is where consent goes wrong
Somebody who agreed to appear in an internal training video did not thereby agree to appear in a campaign two years later. The agreement existed and the use outgrew it, which is the commonest failure and the least dramatic.
Writing the scope down at the time is the only fix, and it has to be specific enough to be checked: which uses, which territories, for how long. A general permission is a general problem.
2Free is about the relationship, not the form
Employees, contractors and anybody in a hierarchy raise the question of whether agreement was freely given. A signature does not settle it, and a document asking for free consent is pointing at that exact risk.
This is also the part a supplier cannot verify. The condition is placed on the customer because only the customer knows the relationship, which is a sound allocation and an uncomfortable one.
3Who holds the record when a complaint arrives
The production, always. Nobody can obtain consent retrospectively from a person who has changed their mind, so the release has to exist before the render and travel with the clip.
That makes this the most durable item in a production file. A licence question moves when a supplier changes; a consent record is needed whoever produced the frames.
4What the output is for
Alongside the terms behind “Consent”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

5Where the sourced wording is
A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is input restriction, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Likeness, Stock avatar, Custom avatar.
