Top 5 STOCK VIDEO Footage Sites

Stock video footage is a video you can license and use in your video project without any copyright issues. You can use stock videos for YouTube and social media or if you are creating a video for a client.

There are some free stock video websites, subscription websites, and websites that charge per video clip you download and they each have their pros and cons.

In this video, I’ll cover my top 5 favorite stock video websites.

Pexels has both royalty-free images and video footage.
It’s a great place to get started when searching for stock video and you can download the video clip and use it without attribution.
Since the videos are user-generated, it may be time-consuming to find quality video footage.

Videezy has a large selection of HD and 4k stock video libraries, including free and paid options.
For the paid options, you can pay per clip or for a bundle of clips.

Envato Elements

Envato Elements offers a huge library of stock videos for a monthly subscription.
The big benefit of Envato Elements is that they also offer music, sound effects, photos, video templates, and just about anything you may need for any creative project.
And you can download as many assets as you want. Unlike free websites, the quality is much higher, and sorting through usable video footage takes less time.

Pond 5 also has royalty-free photos and videos, but you have to pay for each clip or a monthly membership.

Film Supply is one of the highest-quality stock video websites on the web and is intended for professional use. If you are looking for the best possible stock video footage, this is the place to search.

[avprotv]

What about a site that will give you the footage in a raw or log format so that you can color-grade it to match your film?

Great video and thank you very much for sharing! What would you recommend for high quality stock footage for medical illustration and educational videos?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELPFUL VIDEO. Is there a video making software that contains a big library of stock videos ready to use directly?

[WatchDesigning]

Great video. However, I saw videos of some you tubers explaining that they have been penalized for copy right violations when using videos from these websites. I think it is a big risk to use these videos specially if your channel is monetized. I was planning to download some videos to make shorts but I decided I will not take any chances. Shorts don't pay much anyways and it is not worth it to risk 3 strikes and lose you channel. I'll be focusing in creating my own videos.

[TravelTipsGR]

Hi, i checked for my niche, but the videos are not nice. So one thing is to be able to find stock videos and another is to find good ones.... Thank you for making this video though.

[abenyopatrick]

Hi.someone can use this videos for making his/her content .?

[mhc_isme]

there's about 1 good option here for most people.

[actuallybraveofficial]

lol $200 for a clip... These recommendations are not great... artlist is $30/month and unlimited quantity. Most people are not looking for film-grade clips, just high quality.
