Stock Video Websites List
When communicating a message or idea to your audience – be it in a movie, TV show, YouTube tutorial, or a Facebook ad, it’s vital to select potent, high-quality video footage to support your concept. However, shooting every single scene in a movie or commercial involves a lot of expenses such as crew salaries or filming equipment costs, so it’s become a common practice for filmmakers and videographers to supplement their original content with other sources of equally high-quality footage, such as stock videos.
Apart from being well-versed in royalty-free music, we at TuneReel, have also trained our eye for trustworthy stock video providers. We want to share our findings with you so that your next video campaign – a movie or commercial – has both mind-blowing sound and visuals.
Knowing that budget often plays a critical role in decision making, we made this list as comprehensive as possible in terms of pricing models offered by each video stock provider. So just skip to the website with the pricing model of your choice (subscriptions, free downloads, credits, etc.) and go explore all that cool footage!
