A fantastic source with unlimited potential
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- Some outdated-looking CGI on some of the stock footage
Most Important Features
- 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.
Return on Investment
- 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
