stock footage

Stock footage refers to professionally shot video clips that are available for licensing and use by creators, filmmakers, and marketers. These clips cover a wide range of topics and visuals, such as nature, cityscapes, people, or specific activities, and are used to enhance or illustrate content without filming new footage. Stock footage helps save time and resources, providing high-quality visuals that can be incorporated into projects like commercials, documentaries, presentations, or online videos. Typically, users purchase a license to use the clips legally, with various pricing options based on usage and distribution.
