Genjutsu copyright: is the video actually yours?

Short answers first

• Is the video original? It is newly generated output built on the motion of your clip - original in the everyday sense, a transformation of the source in the copyright sense.
• Can you post it? Yes, on an active plan - downloads are clean, with no watermark.
• Can you use it commercially? That is the intended use: fresh variants of footage you have the rights to. Read the source rule first - it decides everything.

The one rule that matters: your source clip

Everything starts with the footage you feed in. If you shot it yourself, or licensed it, you are on solid ground. If it is somebody else's clip - a movie scene, another creator's video, a concert recording - permission travels with the clip, not with the AI.

The model keeping the motion is exactly the point: your video carries your original choreography or performance. The flip side is that the output is built on that clip - which is why the first copyright question is about the source, never about the tool.

Who owns the output?

Practically, the account holder does: videos you generate on your plan are yours to use within the site's terms. What no tool can grant you is a licence to somebody else's footage, a real person's likeness, or a brand's logo - those follow their own rules no matter which model produced the file.

Commercial use: what actually holds people back

• Prefer your own footage - ads, product shots and brand content where rights are already handled.
• Avoid "a real person saying things they never said" content - that is what gets accounts banned, not AI editing itself.
• Keep a paper trail: source files, references and project history. If a platform ever asks, the receipts live with you.
• For client and brand work, check the current plan terms - commercial projects belong on a paid plan.

Watermarks, labels and platform rules

• Active plans export clean, with no watermark - the download guide covers formats and settings.
• TikTok, YouTube and Instagram increasingly ask creators to label AI-generated or AI-edited content. Do it - it costs nothing.
• Label real-looking people content as AI even when the platform does not ask. Trust is the cheaper strategy.

What this tool will not help you do

None of these is a tool setting; each is a decision about the source and the use. That is exactly why this page exists.

• Recreate real people in deceptive situations - endorsement fakes, misinformation.
• Build on footage you do not have the rights to.
• Sell character or celebrity merchandise built on somebody else's IP.
