Stock footage websites are galleries of licensed video that can be used in other media for free or for a fee. Stock footage is often used in marketing collateral and news media as a visual supplement to other content. Many stock photo websites will also provide stock footage and stock music as well.
Stock footage websites provide licenses for media use elsewhere. On sites where users are required to pay for stock footage use, websites will either charge per image or a subscription fee. Some stock footage websites will offer free footage in addition to their paid content, but other websites' stock footage is completely free.
To qualify for inclusion in the Stock Footage category, a product must:
Provide licensed footage and/or animations
Store, curate, and categorize a catalog of footage
Allow users to bookmark and sort footage
