Exporting a video that includes stock media

When you're on a license plan that includes access to stock media, you are allowed to incorporate stock video, image and audio assets in videos that you save from Clipchamp. This includes both projects that you create for commercial and non-commercial purposes.

However, you may not download and redistribute the individual underlying stock files, use them in other editing programs, or share or sell them.
