Love your channel, the big problem with most stock footage is it has been used before so many times so may get a bit 'samey' which loses its impact, just my thoughts...

Great advice, Lila! Those horror stories, though…

If you are military or government, DO NOT use that footage without clearance in your portfolio! That B-Roll could be classified and you could be providing evidence against yourself. Instead perform "training" for yourself. Your PAO won't mind and your skills will make a leap.
