Legal
End User License Agreement
The license terms for Filmit Studio and all CEP plugin extensions.
This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is a legal agreement between you (“User” or “you”) and FILMIT LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company doing business as Filmit.io (“we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your use of the Filmit Studio desktop application, all Filmit plugins and extensions for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, Filmit FX, and Filmit Transitions (collectively, the “Software”). By installing, copying, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. This EULA is in addition to the Terms of Service governing your use of filmit.io.
License Grant
Subject to the terms of this EULA and your active subscription, we grant you a:
- Named user — Licensed to one named individual. If your seat was purchased by an organization under a Teams or Enterprise plan, the license is granted to that organization and assigned to you as the named seat holder.
- Non-exclusive — We may grant identical licenses to other users.
- Non-transferable — You may not give, sell, or lend your license to another person. An organization may reassign a seat from one named individual to another through its account administrator, provided the seat is not used concurrently by more than one person.
- Revocable — We may revoke this license if you violate these terms.
- Limited — Restricted to the scope described in this EULA.
This license permits you to install and use the Software on your devices for the purpose of creating, editing, and producing video and motion graphics content.
Teams and Enterprise licenses. Where a Teams or Enterprise plan has been purchased, the following applies. The license is granted to the purchasing organization for the number of seats purchased. The organization's account administrator assigns each seat to one named individual, and may reassign a seat when a person leaves the organization or changes role. Each named seat holder must have their own Filmit account and is bound by this EULA. Seats may not be shared, pooled, or used concurrently by more than one person, and a seat may not be reassigned merely to allow additional simultaneous users. The organization is responsible for its users' compliance with this EULA and for all activity under its seats. Where the organization has signed a written order form or enterprise agreement with us, that document controls over this EULA to the extent of any conflict.
Restrictions
You may not:
- Copy, redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, or sell the Software or any part of it.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software.
- Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Software.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary markings.
- Use the Software to build a competing product or service.
- Share your account credentials or license key with other individuals.
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any license verification, authentication, or security features.
- Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations.
Device Activations
Your license allows activation on up to two (2) devices simultaneously. This is intended to cover your primary workstation and a secondary device (for example, a desktop and a laptop).
- Each device is identified by a unique machine fingerprint.
- You can deactivate a device from your License page to free up an activation slot.
- If you replace a device, deactivate the old one before activating the new one.
We reserve the right to monitor activation patterns to prevent abuse. Excessive activations or patterns consistent with license sharing may result in license suspension.
Subscription & Access
Access to the Software requires an active Filmit.io subscription. Your subscription governs which plugins and features are available to you based on your tier.
- If your subscription expires, is cancelled, or payment fails, your license to use the Software is suspended.
- Suspended licenses can be reactivated by renewing your subscription.
- Plugins installed during an active subscription will stop functioning when the license is no longer active.
Subscription pricing, billing, cancellation, and refund terms are covered in our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.
Updates & Maintenance
While your subscription is active, you receive:
- All software updates, bug fixes, and new plugin releases included in your tier.
- Automatic updates delivered through the Filmit Studio auto-updater.
- Access to new features and tools as they become available.
We may release updates that change, add, or remove features. We aim to always improve the Software, but we do not guarantee that every feature available today will remain available in perpetuity.
Intellectual Property
The Software, including all source code, object code, user interface designs, documentation, icons, logos, and associated materials, is the exclusive property of FILMIT LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
This EULA does not grant you any ownership rights in the Software. You are licensed to use the Software, not own it. All rights not explicitly granted in this EULA are reserved by Filmit.io.
Your Creative Work
The work you create using our tools is 100% yours. We claim no ownership, no license, and no rights to any project, composition, video, or creative output you produce with Filmit plugins.
You may use the Software and its plugins for personal projects, commercial work, client work, YouTube videos, films, social media content, and any other lawful creative purpose. There are no royalty fees or usage restrictions on the output of your creative work.
Third-Party Software
The Software is designed to run within host applications published by third parties, currently Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. You must have a valid, licensed copy of the applicable host application to use our plugins, effects, and transitions.
- We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Adobe Inc. or Blackmagic Design Pty Ltd.
- Filmit MCP lets you connect third-party AI assistants (such as Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Codex) so they can act in your host application on your instruction. It is off unless you switch it on. Those assistants are provided under their own terms, which you accept with their providers; we are not affiliated with them and do not control what they do with what you send them. You are responsible for reviewing the changes an assistant makes to your project, and we recommend working on a copy of your sequence or composition.
- Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro are trademarks of Adobe Inc. DaVinci Resolve is a trademark of Blackmagic Design Pty Ltd.
- We cannot guarantee compatibility with every version or configuration of Adobe software or Blackmagic Design software.
- Issues caused by Adobe or Blackmagic Design software updates, third-party plugins, graphics hardware or drivers, or system configuration are outside our control.
Data Collection
The Software collects the data described in our Privacy Policy. In summary, the following leaves your machine:
- Authentication tokens to verify your identity and license.
- Plugin installation and version information for update delivery.
- Basic system information (OS type, app version) for compatibility.
- Product usage analytics, collected through PostHog only if you turn analytics on. The Software asks for your permission after you sign in, analytics stay off until you say yes, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings. When on, this covers screens viewed, clicks and in-app interactions, application version, and operating system type, associated with your account. We use it to understand how the Software is used and to improve it.
- A device fingerprint used to verify your license and enforce activation limits.
- Only if you switch on Filmit MCP: the connection data and relayed assistant requests and host-application replies described in our Privacy Policy. We pass them through without storing their contents.
The Software also keeps diagnostic logs (recent actions and error details, never your creative content) on your computer. They are not sent to us unless you choose to attach them to a bug report.
The Software does not record your screen, does not use session replay, and does not access, collect, transmit, or store your project files, compositions, footage, timelines, or any personal creative work. The Software contains no advertising trackers. The plugins perform license verification, and, only if you have turned analytics on in Filmit Studio, send basic usage events: which plugin was opened, whether an action finished or failed, a short error message with file names, paths, and web addresses removed, the plugin and host application versions, and your operating system type. Plugins never send your project files, footage, file names, or any creative content. The one exception is Filmit MCP, which is off unless you switch it on: while an AI assistant you connected is working in your host application, its requests and your host application’s replies (including project, sequence, clip, and layer names and any frames you ask it to look at) pass through our relay to that assistant without being stored by us, as described in our Privacy Policy.
