Hosted video slots (Solo, Maestro, Agency)
- A slot is one video live on one approved URL. The licensee may swap the video in a slot for another from the library.
- Fair use: each slot includes 100,000 views per month. Above that the player falls back to the licensee's local HD file until the 1st of the next month. No overage is billed.
- If the subscription is cancelled or unpaid, the clean HD local file stays licensed for that URL; the slot reverts to free behaviour and the site is never broken.
- Existing (v1) subscribers keep the terms they subscribed under.
- Self use only: the video may be used on the licensee's own approved URLs. Use for clients or other third parties is not included.
- Maestro includes 5 slots and Agency 50 slots; extra slots can be added on Solo and Maestro. Agency: the video may be used in the licensee's client projects, not resold to a client as a stand-alone asset.
Free files: watermark and credit
- Free HD files downloaded without an account carry a small EcomCiné watermark. A free account gives the same free loops in clean HD. The watermark or credit line (“Video by EcomCiné” / “Powered by EcomCiné”) is part of the file or player and must be kept as long as the file is a free file; paid plans and single downloads remove it.
- Free files may be used in the licensee's own websites and projects, but not redistributed, resold or published on their own.
Previews and AI agents
- Watermarked preview files and the preview tool are for evaluation only and may not be used in published work.
- An AI agent that downloads a free file through our MCP server acts for the person it works for, and the same free licence applies to that person. The file must be kept unmodified.
The open-source player and SDK are separate and licensed under the MIT licence; see the terms of service. Page updated 17 October 2026.
