Hi team! I can't reach you via email, I always "exceed the email number limit". Can you advise me here if I can use the effect "Sparkle Spiral" for commercial purposes? When I try to add it to the video, it says that it is "free for commercial use for an unlimited period of time".
Please help me, thank you.
Hi,
Based on the screenshots you've shared from CapCut, the “Sparkle Spiral” effect is marked with a green check and the text "one piece of material for free commercial use for a limited time".
What this means:
-
You can use the "Sparkle Spiral" effect in commercial projects, such as YouTube videos, client work, or ads.
-
But the "limited time" condition means this permission might be revoked or changed later. CapCut sometimes rotates or removes effects, or updates their licensing terms.
Recommendation:
-
Use it now if needed, since it’s currently free for commercial use.
-
Export your project as soon as possible, while the license is active.
-
Take a screenshot (like you already did) showing the licensing terms — this serves as proof if questions arise later.
-
Avoid modifying the effect in a way that might breach other usage terms (like redistributing it as a standalone effect).
If you're doing very high-stakes commercial work (e.g., for a large brand), you might want to:
-
Contact CapCut support by writing an email to [email protected] to get written confirmation
-
Consider replacing time-limited assets with royalty-free alternatives from services like MotionArray, Envato Elements, or Canva Pro if you need long-term guaranteed rights
