I use Storyblocks for stock videos, images, graphics, templates, and audio tracks for television commercials and segments, print, and social media ads.
  • Website is easy to navigate
  • Enormous library of stock footage, images and templates
  • Edit capabilities of video and audio within the website
  • Customer service is great
  • The only thing I would say is to add more audio tracks and SFX
If I need to edit a commercial spot in a pinch, Storyblocks is my go-to for a quick template to use or even just inspiration. I can find stock videos and images rapidly. They also have an extensive amount of templates for logos and text animations, which come in handy. The search feature is easy to navigate so I can find what I'm looking for rather quickly. I have even started using illustrations from Stroyblocks than our other stock subscription service.
  • Stock videos
  • Templates that are designed in Adobe software
  • Continuous updates to their library
  • Only positive because they allow us for a quick turnaround on client commercials
  • Allows us to be more creative and inspired by either using their templates or taking samples of their work and creating our own
Storyblocks has templates for videos and graphics. Adobe does not. Both can integrate directly with Adobe software that we use, like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere. Both allow you to create libraries or lists to save your downloads or favorites to.

We use Storyblocks to build audio and video packages for our company and clients. The keyword searchable database of music, videos, SFX audio, and images helps us quickly locate suitable media for any project.
  • User-friendly interface
  • Client repository for favorites
  • Offers variations on a theme (music and video)
  • Visual repesentation of musical tracks
  • There is an increasingly growing call for UHD (4k) video
  • For audio downloads from favorites folders, I'd like to see a zipped or compressed option
Storyblocks is perfect for isolating audio tracks with a particular feel or instumentation to build suites of audio for presentation to a client. Whether for podcast introduction, bumper and closing segments, or a suite of similar tracks to craft an advertising package with or without images, the selection of high-quality audio and video makes it easy to choose Storyblocks year after year.
  • Audio with optional, alternate tracks
  • After Effects Templates
  • Videos up to UHD (4k)
  • The accessibility of quality audio and video is a time saver
  • The searchable database makes finding high quality video B-roll easy
  • The After Effects templates save our designers time in creating logo and effects packages
Hands down, Storyblocks offers more for your investment. The licensing is straightforward, and provides all the coverage we need to legally offer services to our clients within a budget we can live with.

Storyblocks in an invaluable resource for my internal marketing and the video production I provide for my clients. The vast selection of videos, audio and other digital assets is fantastic. The piece of mind of using footage with the properly licenses is worth every penny. It is also a significant time saving tool. I don't have to create, stage and shoot b-roll or supporting videos, and audio.
  • Scenes with people, various situations and moods
  • Background footage, great for overlaying text and info.
  • Time lapse and unique styles to choose from.
  • The Search function is limited, it can take some time to find the right footage.
  • The site can get hung up occasionally.
  • Searching collections and similar shots could be improved.
Many of clients want promotional videos and do not have any footage to provide. With only an audio file from my clients, I can create an impactful promotional video. You can really capture the emotion of the message with some of the creative footage available. With Storyblocks, I can create and deliver professional content in a very short period of time.
  • Selection of footage
  • Compliance in usage rights and licenses
  • Affordable pricing.
  • it has saved thousands of dollars to obtain b-roll and other footage.
  • It has reduced the time of video production drastically.
  • It keeps my ongoing costs fixed.
Storyblocks is significantly better for videos. Pexels is better for photography. Pexels doesn't have audio, so no competition there. I have found these two resources to be complimentary and great to use for client promotions and educational videos

We use Storyblocks for every facet of our video production. We create social media posts, product overviews, company updates and events, and tutorials using the video medium, and for each and every type, we use Storyblocks. We use music, still images, Illustrator graphics, stock footage, and everything else Storyblocks has to offer. Storyblocks has always provided more than enough tools for us to create great content.
  • Provides a wide variety of stock footage
  • Has an easy to use search function
  • Lets you use footage and music with unlimited downloads, so not every single choice is life and death like with other stock sites
  • Sometimes I wish there were more video graphics templates
  • Sometimes the music I sift through doesn't really match the key word I typed
  • Some outdated-looking CGI on some of the stock footage
Storyblocks is perfect for your advertisements, films, music videos, and any type of video media. It's also great for still imagery. I can't imagine someone not being able to find suitable material for their creative or corporate project. The best part is that with a subscription, you can download UNLIMITED assets. That's absolutely incredible, as most other stock sites require monthly fees as well as enormous costs per video purchase. With Storyblocks, every picture, song, sound effect, and image comes to you at no extra cost.

It's not quite as good as iStock. I've used both, and the quality of iStock is ultimately superior. But for Storyblocks' convenience, it's almost as good.
  • Storyblocks provides unlimited downloads of all media if you have a subscription. We have the yearly plan.
  • We use different songs for each of our videos because Storyblocks allows us the creative freedom to do so.
  • The search function is very accurate most of the time for video and pictures searches.
  • We've been able to create a much wider range of content, leading to the likelihood of more clicks on our videos
  • We save money by not needing to purchase videos from iStock or other expensive "pay per download" stock sites
  • We use videos with Storyblocks to pitch prospective customers our products and features, increasing the likelihood of sales when juxtaposed with written content alone
  • iStock and from Getty Images
Storyblocks is the clear winner against iStock. It's all about unlimited downloads. The content on Storyblocks is almost as good as iStock, but the convenience factor makes it 10X better.

I use Storyblocks for all video projects, whether it is for my organization or personal creations. I use it for stock audio, video, and graphic effects templates. Using one site, like Storyblocks, allows me to create content without having to search a bunch of websites to find assets that I need.
  • Storyblocks has an vast catalog of audio and music to use for videos.
  • There are hundreds of motion graphics templates and After Effects files.
  • The stock video is phenomenal. I always find what I am looking for on the site.
  • Allowing the user to click in the middle of a song from the full list instead of clicking it and then going to the bottom of the screen to preview different parts.
  • Continue adding more MOGRT files to be used directly with Premiere.
  • More video clips with model releases.
Storyblocks is wonderful. I use it all the time when I am creating videos. It makes my job so much easier to have something like Storyblocks in my corner. I can find great stock audio tracks, video clips, and an amazing set of motion graphic templates. This makes content creation a breeze.
  • Stock audio
  • Stock video
  • Graphics templates
  • It allows me to make more money by having an easy access to what I need
  • Licensing songs or clips is extremely easy
  • Storyblocks helps keep ads off of my content
Storyblocks has a much larger catalog than other products that I've used. It becomes a one-stop shop for everything I need when creating a video.
