You won't find Google, Yahoo, or Bing in this roundup. The following list of services are designed specifically for those who want to find video. Since the aforementioned search engines will find anything on the Web, they don't fit into that category.
Blinkx : Blinkx is an extremely well-designed video search site that helps you find clips on topics ranging from tech to sports. According to the company, it currently has more than 35 million hours of videos cataloged. Judging by the outstanding selection, I'm inclined to believe that figure. I liked Blinkx's search. Simply enter a keyword you're interested in and it will search sites like YouTube, Hulu, and major television networks to find what you're looking for.
Unfortunately, the search results page is a little confusing. I also didn't like that the site automatically plays the top result when you get to the results page. It's an annoying feature that shouldn't be on by default. Other than those two issues, I liked Blinkx. It's one of the better video search engines on the Web. I was impressed by its selection.
From new to old, you're likely to find at least one clip of your favorite show. Unlike many of the other services in this roundup, CastTV relies heavily on popular video sites like Vimeo, blip. No attribution required. Combine your content with high-quality, free video clips from our growing library. Unlimited downloads across categories such as free coffee videos , free drone videos , stunning nature clips and much more.
Vimeo makes it easy to download the videos directly from the website, but, as with YouTube, it's worth ensuring that the uploader does actually own the rights to the video. Hover your cursor over Features on the banner menu across the top of the page and select License Stock Footage.
With a basic account, you can browse free stock footage, but you can also upgrade your Vimeo subscription package to access more stock footage content. Artgrid is another source for free-to-use stock footage. There is a basic free membership tier, as well as paid subscriptions with access to different types and qualities of video. Artgrid is a powerful service in itself, but the platform has a sister company, Artlist , that is specifically for music and sound effects.
While the subscription prices can add up, being members of both means you have access to a one-stop media shop. Even without a membership to either site, you can access blogs and helpful resources to learn more about media licensing, sourcing, production, and attribution.
Hopefully this article has given you a few new ideas on where to look next. It's not essential to provide credit when using Clipstill's videos, but a link back is appreciated. You're free to use cinemagraphs in your own projects unless you're making a commercial product in which it's the main attraction, such as a greetings card or website template see the licensing page for full details.
The quality is mixed, but generally high. We particularly like the selection of aerial drone footage. All videos are supplied in MP4 format, and you can see the resolution below the preview on the download page.
Keep an eye out for search results marked with a green 'Pro' tag; these are premium clips only available using paid-for credits. The first two rows of search results are also sponsored videos from Shutterstock, which also require a paid membership to download. Videvo offers thousands of free stock videos contributed by its community of users.
If you'd like to contribute your own videos for others to download, you can do so after signing up for a free account. As with many free stock video sites, the top row of search results are actually premium samples from an advertiser in this case Shutterstock. Some clips are provided as MP4 files, while others are delivered in QuickTime format. Daryl had been freelancing for 3 years before joining TechRadar, now reporting on everything software-related.
