Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Storyblocks for stock videos, images, graphics, templates, and audio tracks for television commercials and segments, print, and social media ads.

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • The only thing I would say is to add more audio tracks and SFX

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

The greatest return on investment (ROI) of any suite

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.

Pros

  • User-friendly interface
  • Client repository for favorites
  • Offers variations on a theme (music and video)
  • Visual repesentation of musical tracks

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Scenes with people, various situations and moods
  • Background footage, great for overlaying text and info.
  • Time lapse and unique styles to choose from.

Cons

  • 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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

  • 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.
