These are the terms for using Make It a Video. We’ve kept them short and plain.
Who we are
Make It a Video is run by Alex Player, sole trader trading as Make It a Video, 18 Lower Marsh Lane, Flat 10, Surbiton, London, KT1 3FE, United Kingdom. Contact us at hello@makeitavideo.com. By creating an account or using the app you agree to these terms.
The app and your account
- Make It a Video is a Mac app for Apple silicon Macs with macOS 15 or later. You need an account to use it, and you must be 16 or older.
- Keep your password private. You’re responsible for what happens in your account; tell us straight away if you think someone else is using it.
- One person per account. Pro works on up to 3 Macs at a time; you can free a Mac in the app under Plans › Your Macs.
Free, Pro and payment
- The free plan is free. Pro is offered as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase at the price shown in Plans and Stripe checkout before you pay. Both options include the same Pro features and device allowance. Payment is handled by Stripe.
- Pro renews every year until you cancel. We email you before each renewal. You can cancel any time in the app under Plans; Pro then stays on until the end of the year you’ve paid for.
- If we change the price, we’ll email you at least 30 days before it applies, and it only applies from your next renewal.
- Lifetime purchases and codes, where we sell them, give Pro on one account for as long as we offer the app. A code works once. A refunded code is switched off; the account returns to Free unless another valid Pro entitlement applies. Your videos aren’t touched.
- Refunds are explained on our refunds page.
Your videos and content
- Your recordings, projects and videos are yours. They stay on your Mac unless you choose to save or share them; we don’t claim any rights over them.
- You’re responsible for what you record and share, and for having the right to use any people, logos, music or other material in your videos.
- Music from the in-app library is under Creative Commons licences. Where a track needs credit, the app adds it for you; keep it when you publish.
Sharing with a link
- Saving to Google Drive and sharing are optional. You must have the right to upload and share the content you choose, including any source media in a project backup. Your content remains yours.
- A shared link lets anyone with that link view the chosen video, unless you protect it with a password. Keep the link and password private if the video is intended for a limited audience. People who can view it may be able to save a copy. Stopping sharing cannot recall copies they already saved.
- Free accounts can share up to 3 active videos at a time. The current Pro service limit is 500 active links. Pro also supports colours and a logo, password protection and website widgets. Custom web addresses require separate DNS setup and verification. Pro owners may enable comments or forms on their videos and widgets. Comments can be turned off, shown immediately or held for approval. Our comment rules apply. If you collect responses, explain your purpose, provide the required privacy information, respect consent and applicable data-protection rights, and do not use the form to collect sensitive or unlawful information.
- Sharing depends on Google Drive, a working connection and our playback service. Storage and usage limits apply. Changes or deletion in Drive may take time to be detected by an existing playback copy; use Stop sharing to withdraw a link. We do not promise that a link will always be available. Keep your own backups.
- If Pro ends, existing links remain available at our watch address. Pro-only changes, custom addresses, widgets, comments and forms pause; restoring Pro restores the relevant features. Nothing in this paragraph promises permanent hosting or changes the limits above.
- We may stop links, widgets or sharing access for unlawful, harmful or abusive use, or to protect the service. Use the page's Report this video link or email hello@makeitavideo.com to report a problem.
- Our privacy policy explains Google permissions, our stored connection token, playback copies, retention and disconnection.
Publishing to YouTube
If you choose to use our YouTube publishing feature, it uses YouTube API Services and you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. You choose the channel, video, title, description, audience and visibility before upload. You are responsible for those choices and for having the rights to publish the content. Google may restrict uploads, require verification or limit an upload to Private. A successful transfer does not guarantee that YouTube will finish processing or publish a video. See our YouTube privacy information.
Using the app fairly
- Don’t use the app to break the law, record people without permission where that’s required, or harm others.
- Don’t try to get around Pro, share codes or accounts, or interfere with our servers.
- We may suspend an account that breaks these rules. Where we can, we’ll tell you first and explain why.
What we’re responsible for
- We work hard to make the app reliable, but we can’t promise it will always be free of faults. Keep copies of anything important.
- If you’re a consumer, you have legal rights that these terms don’t affect, including that the app is as described and of satisfactory quality.
- We’re not responsible for loss that wasn’t foreseeable, for business losses, or for problems caused by things outside our control (such as macOS changes or another service being down).
- For business customers, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
Changes and ending
- We may update the app and these terms. If a change matters, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before it applies.
- You can stop using the app and ask us to delete your account at any time (Settings › Privacy & data › Ask to delete my account).
- If we ever stop offering Pro or a key Pro feature, we’ll refund the unused part of your current year.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protections of your local consumer law and can bring a claim in your local courts. Please contact us first; most things can be sorted out quickly.

Your software licence
We give you a non-exclusive licence to install and use the app for your own personal or business work, within your plan’s device limit. You own your content; buying Pro does not transfer ownership of the app or its source code. Do not resell accounts or codes, bypass access controls, or redistribute the app as your own product. Nothing here restricts rights that cannot lawfully be restricted, including permitted interoperability or statutory rights.
AppSumo purchases
If you buy through AppSumo, the features, plan mapping, redemption deadline and refund window shown on your AppSumo deal apply to that purchase. Our general terms do not reduce those deal rights. Read our AppSumo deal terms and use the redemption guide. AppSumo codes are applied in the Mac app, not in Stripe checkout.
Rights we do not limit
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. Any business liability limit above applies only where lawful. Consumer rights and mandatory local protections continue to apply.
Delivery, compatibility and updates
The app is a digital download, with no physical delivery charge. It requires an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later. An internet connection is needed for download, account verification, purchase and updates. After verification, Pro can work offline for up to 14 days before checking the account again. Your Mac must have enough free storage for recordings and exports. Updates may change system requirements; we will identify material compatibility changes in release information. Product information and support are provided in English.
Cancelling an order
See Refunds and cancellation for how to cancel, request a refund, and use the optional cancellation form. You do not have to use the form. You may save or print these terms using your browser.
VAT status
Alex Player is not VAT-registered. We do not add UK VAT to our direct prices. For purchases through a marketplace, any tax it collects is shown by that marketplace before payment.
