How to use free stock videos in elevate.io
What is stock footage?
Stock footage is pre-recorded video you can use in your own projects, without having to film it yourself.
Why you should use stock videos:
It makes your videos feel more polished and professional.
Helps break up long talking-head sections with something visual.
Fills in missing shots when you don’t have the time, budget, or setup to film.
And with elevate.io, you can browse and add free stock clips without ever leaving your video editor.
