Everyone knows that video<\/span> is the \u201cmust-have\u201d medium for any website or social media channel. But it\u2019s one thing to draft a video strategy; creating the actual videos<\/span> <\/em>is a whole different animal. Video production<\/span> can be expensive, time-consuming, and overwhelming – especially for small businesses or individuals who don\u2019t have the time or resources to acquire professional-grade equipment, learn about best practices in composition, and master complicated editing software. The solution? Create video content<\/span> using stock videos<\/a> with Powtoon<\/span>. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Stock Videos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stock videos are short video clips that have been professionally produced and made available to the public through a usage platform, usually for a fee. They range from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, averaging about 20-30 seconds each. Stock videos are available for every industry and come in a variety of styles including time-lapse, flyovers, acted scenarios, nature or city scenes, and even shots of historical sites or events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Create Video with Powtoon\u2019s Stock Videos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stock videos elevate your content<\/span> and help your budget go further<\/a>. However, not all stock videos are created equal. Here are the top five reasons to use Powtoon<\/span>\u2019s stock videos in your branded video content<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are of professional quality.<\/strong> High-quality video<\/span> is time-consuming and expensive to produce. When you create video content<\/span> for your brand, there can be a lot of pieces to put together. Using stock videos eliminates the need to shoot video<\/span> on your own, and gives you a video<\/span> with a polished, professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are affordable.<\/strong> In addition to being high quality, stock videos are affordable. A custom video shoot can easily cost over several thousand dollars. Stock videos allow you to incorporate professional-quality videos into your content<\/span> for a fraction of the cost. Even Powtoon<\/span>\u2019s free plan has a collection of stock videos that come free with the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They save time.<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to spend time shooting or editing stock videos; they come ready to use. Using stock videos allows you to create more video content<\/span> for your channels in less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They enhance your regular footage. <\/strong>You may have good reasons for using your own video footage when you create video content<\/span>. Stock videos can enhance this footage with intro\/outro clips, transitions, or to fill in any gaps you may have in your collection of assets. It gives your final video<\/span> a more cohesive, polished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have the appropriate license.<\/strong> Between licensing, royalties, and model releases, the legalities of using video<\/span> for branded content<\/span> is complex. Stock videos available through Powtoon<\/span> are licensed for commercial use and royalty-free<\/a>, meaning you have permission to use the clip however you choose. When you use Powtoon<\/span>\u2019s stock videos, you\u2019ll have peace of mind that the legal details have been thoroughly reviewed so you know you can use your clip with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
