Usage rights
This Sora 2 license guide explains commercial use, generated video ownership, YouTube monetization, client delivery, advertising, copyright risk, and the limits that still apply when using Vidion outputs.
The license helps define what Vidion users can do with generated videos. Paid-plan outputs may support commercial workflows, but the formal commercial license and your input rights control the final answer.
The Sora 2 license explains how Vidion users may use videos generated through the platform. It is not just a copyright label. The license connects your plan, your input materials, the generated output, and the final distribution context. A personal test, a YouTube upload, a client ad, and a paid product page can have different risk levels. Use this page for plain-English guidance, then read the formal commercial license before publishing important work.
Commercial use can include YouTube monetization, paid social posts, product videos, landing page motion, internal business presentations, agency concepts, and client delivery. Paid plans are designed for production workflows, but the license still requires you to follow the terms, acceptable use rules, and platform policies. If a generated video will influence sales, represent a brand, or be delivered to a customer, treat it as commercial use.
The license does not erase responsibility for the materials you provide. If you upload a logo, product photo, artwork, celebrity likeness, character reference, music cue, or brand asset, you need the right to use it. Generated video ownership and usage rights depend on the applicable terms, the active plan, and whether your inputs are lawful. Keep records of the account email, receipt, prompt context, and project purpose for any video used in business.
A common license question is whether generated videos can be uploaded to YouTube, used in ads, or handed to clients. The answer depends on the plan and the formal agreement. YouTube monetization may also require platform compliance and disclosure. Client work may require your own contract language. Ads may require brand, claim, and disclosure review. The Sora 2 license is the starting point, not a substitute for legal review in high-value campaigns.
The formal commercial license says that content generated during an active paid subscription remains licensed after the subscription ends. That makes timing important. A video created while the paid plan is active can be different from a video generated after cancellation. Keep subscription records so you can show when the output was created. If the use case is sensitive, compare this guidance, the commercial license agreement, and the cancellation page.
The license does not allow illegal, misleading, harmful, infringing, or prohibited content. It also does not guarantee that every output is free from copyright, trademark, publicity, or platform issues. AI video can create realistic scenes, people, products, or brand-like visuals, so you should review final outputs before publishing. For business use, keep a simple checklist: input rights, plan status, disclosure needs, platform rules, and commercial license coverage.
For professional publishing, keep a record of the active plan, creation date, prompt intent, uploaded assets, final distribution channel, and any client approval. This is especially useful for agencies, ecommerce teams, and creators who reuse outputs across campaigns. A short rights checklist makes future audits easier and reduces confusion when a video moves from draft use to paid distribution.
Commercial use depends on your paid plan, the formal commercial license, your input rights, and the way the video is distributed.
YouTube monetization may be allowed for eligible paid-plan outputs, but you must also follow YouTube rules, disclosure requirements, and rights requirements for uploaded assets.
This page explains usage rights in plain language. The commercial license page contains the formal agreement and should be reviewed before business use.
