1What “perpetual and transferable” means here
A perpetual, transferable licence outlives your account and can move to another company. Deleting a project does not end it unless the terms say it does.

CapCut, Hedra, OpenArt, Runway and Story.com have the same reading, which makes 6 of the 24 tools.
Terms of service change without notice, so the current version on the tool's site governs.
3Why it matters for a book
A licence is permission you give, not ownership you hand over. What changes from tool to tool is how long the permission lasts, whether it can pass to another company, and what the tool may do with a manuscript beyond making your video.
