"Easy Asset Search, Dynamic Templates, and a Smooth Workflow"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks has such a great interface that makes it easy to search assets. There's a plethora of options. My favorite to use are the templates. They allow me create quickly when I need something dynamic. It has an array of template options that I can use with After Effects and Premiere. The folders always come with tutorials and examples video that are super helpful. The audio future that allows you to search by many different factors, such as duration, moods and genres, is a great way to narrow my search. Downloading is easy, and over all workflow is great. I can implement the assets easily within my projects, because all the files integrated with my Adobe Suite. We use it on average a weekly to monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

I honestly can't say I have any issues with the platform. Ive never had any technical issues. My team has been using it for more than 4 years. I don't think I've ver had to speak with customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Content Creation Platform with High-Quality AI Voiceovers"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I really love this platform for all necessary feature needed for absolutely good content creation. The voiceover with AI to make a perfect story is really high quality and commendable. The Templates available in this platform is really awesome. It really assist a lot in faster content creation and sometimes acts an ingredient for the final output. I feel that the best part about this platform is the overall environment and support system within this platform that allows a good content with a super nice notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

I love almost everything about this platform but I feel that the price can be made a little lower though the feature provided by this platform fits the price. It is also worth mentioning that to be very efficient in using this platform the user may need a good time exploring and understanding this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vast Library, Easy Setup for Solo Creators"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I use Storyblocks to make YouTube videos, and the thing I like most about it is the vast expanse of stuff you can get. It's such a nice place because you can get different types of music from very talented people. It helps me customize my videos and improve the flow. Also, it was very easy and a relief to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

I think that a lot of stuff are either too unnecessary or it is a bit hard to find a good piece of footage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable, Easy, and Unlimited Downloads"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I find Storyblocks to be incredibly valuable, especially when it comes to sourcing video clips for music video backgrounds at an affordable price. What stands out to me the most is the ability to download unlimited clips for a price that other competitors would charge for just one download. This affordability is a major factor for me, particularly in a philanthropic context where budget constraints are significant. The quality of the clips, while slightly lesser than some competitors, still meets my needs effectively. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy, which made the transition smooth and hassle-free. I appreciate how Storyblocks caters so well to my needs without compromising on affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

I find that Storyblocks' competition offers higher quality videos, which sometimes makes me consider whether I am sacrificing quality for cost-effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Storyblocks has ton of variety + high quality"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I’ve been using Storyblocks for nearly a decade (back when they were still called Videoblocks!) and they’ve always been ahead of the game. Their library is packed and only grown bigger and better ever since. The massive VARIETY IS UNMATCHED. I work on video projects across a huge range of industries, and clients often ask for very specific visuals. Nine times out of ten, Storyblocks is the only place I can actually find what I need. And the quality of the clips is consistently top tier, and the platform itself is straightforward and easy to use. Just search, download your format, and go. Info right there about usage rights to easily assure clients.

And the team at Storyblocks has always been open to feedback. They keep pushing to improve, even though they’re already the best in the business. Hands down the #1 source for stock footage online. Highly recommended A++++ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

They have a lot of video templates, but wish they had a little more, but they're always expanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Storyblocks is the ultimate resource for filmmakers"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks has so many high-quality clips that you can find almost anything you need for B-roll or found footage film creation, including green screen footage that you can easily drop into your own videos. The audio clips are great too. You'll find cinematic music, hip hop, country, classical, and every other genre, speed, and clips that include vocals for every mood you're trying to create. Music is always the biggest problem for filmmakers, but Storyblock really does solve it for me. Additionally, there's plenty of sound effects and foley for almost every situation. I have a full subscription that includes still images. I haven't used them extensively, but I have searched for specific items, and the photos are varied and of very high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

The search engine isn't the best. Sometimes, when I use fewer keywords, I get better results, although not as narrow as I'd like. I have to page through dozens of clips rather than just the ones I'd like to see. I'd like some dropdowns or some better prompts for keyword searches. Although I usually find what I'm looking for, my searches can take a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlining Content Creation With Storyblocks"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

Storyblocks provides an extensive library of high-quality stock videos, images, and audio that I can easily access and integrate into client presentations, campaign materials, and marketing assets / display banners. The platform’s intuitive search and filtering features save me time when sourcing content. It’s especially valuable for quickly creating professional visuals that elevate campaigns and impress clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

While Storyblocks offers a vast library, sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming to sift through so many options to find exactly the right asset. Additionally, although the quality is generally high, some niche or very specific content can be limited, which occasionally requires looking elsewhere to fill gaps in campaigns.

"Captivating Music for Video Promotions"
What do you like best about Storyblocks?

I appreciate that Storyblocks produces mood-generating music that keeps people engaged in our video promos. The varied lengths for the same mood-setting piece are incredibly helpful because we don’t have to edit and can use different lengths of video promotions. The service is resonantly priced, and I find it easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
