Using stock footage is a smart shortcut for filmmakers, video editors, and creators looking to save time and money without compromising on quality. Instead of organizing costly shoots, you get immediate access to professionally shot content ready to elevate your story. Whether you’re working on a YouTube video, a client ad, or a film scene, stock footage helps you add polish, emotion, and depth instantly.
Stock footage brings visual range, cinematic depth, and high production value to your projects without the production bill. For example, if you need a drone shot, aerial stock footage allows you to skip drone rentals. Need a Paris or NYC cityscape or a national park nature clip? Stock footage has them all already captured in either HD or 4K. Think about stock footage as a tool that can help you elevate mood in your edit, provide more context to your story, and connect scenes in a seamless way.
Absolutely. Stock footage is made to be used across commercial, branded, and even broadcast projects. With royalty-free licensing, you can integrate clips into ads, promotional videos, client work, and more. The video license already covers these use cases for you, so you don’t have to worry about extra fees. Just choose the right license for your team or business, and you’re good to go.
Start by thinking about the tone, style, and message of your project. Are you aiming for dramatic? Uplifting? Cinematic? Then narrow down by quality needs (HD or 4K), frame rate, and visual themes. Want a human connection? Look for authentic, emotional moments with people involved. Need a bold opener as your establishing shot? An aerial or timelapse might be the clip to search and download. While searching on the video site, use keywords that match your story’s vibe.
Storyblocks footage stands out because it’s created with storytellers in mind. Our video library is built to support everything from indie films to client presentations. Plus, with unlimited downloads, flexible worry-free licensing, and constantly updated content, you’re never limited by budget or selection.
We offer two kinds of licenses: an Individual License- for individuals, and a Business License - for teams, small businesses, larger companies, broadcasters, production houses, and agencies.
The stock footage you download will be covered by the license associated with an active Storyblocks plan. All of our licenses are 100% royalty-free and valid worldwide with no geographic restrictions.
