![]() Later I was talking with a buddy who had similar issues with them trying to do some short YouTube videos for a company. I just said “screw you” cancelled the thing, and got a subscription somewhere else, and replaced every piece of footage from there with similar footage. ![]() Otherwise, they said I was personally liable. More than I was going to make the entire gig. The quote they gave me for “the accurate plan” was $40,000 for one year of access. Eventually, I said whatever, not my money (company is paying subscription), hit me. Got told that doesn’t apply for some reason. I pushed back, said according to their site I was on the suggested plan. Didn’t matter that I was a contractor and a solo user. That’s when I got told I needed a business account, which is contrary to their entire messaging. So I emailed back and explained my situation. I just ignored them at first as an automated thing but eventually their tone shifted. About a month in I started getting emailed daily by a rep who “wanted to make sure your plan was right for your needs”. I was going to use them to make a short series of learning videos for a company freelance. You’ll eventually get told you have to upgrade for thousands of dollars or risk being personally liable. Doesn’t matter if you even signed up for one of their plans they specifically list as for that use case. Doesn’t matter if you’re the only one who uses the subscription or if your an independent contractor contracted by a company. If they find out the company you’re making videos for is anywhere close to Fortune 500 you’ll eventually get flagged and emailed by them. Honestly, they’re shady and I wouldn’t even bother trying to use them for any project. Looking for something more local?
