Do NOT use music from this library unless you want copyright claims

If you want to make "evergreen" (long lasting) content using music from Storyblocks for your YouTube then avoid this company. Unless you maintain a subscription year after year they will NOT help you clear copyright claims that will come up years after initial video release due to the broken claims system within YouTube. This has happened to me now so many times with my older videos that I've just had to edit out the segments containing the music (ruining them in the process) as it's almost ...

"Happy overall with some improvements still possible"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? The large library, affordable prices, and good diversity of content are the main benefits of using Story Blocks. In the several years of daily use of the platform, we have never found it necessary to contact customer support due to technical issues or serious downtime.

"For Music, Storyblocks has one of the most diverse and best collections!"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? I use Storyblocks only for music and have been doing so for the last 6 years. The choice of music scores and sound effects is vast here. It's easy to download the selected item, settle the license issues on YouTube (if any arise), and the search is accurate.

"Great resource for certain projects"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Very easy to use site. I love being able to save things in folders pertaining to projects (based on style, etc) The quality of the clips is great. I find certain After Effects templates difficult to use as there are lots of projects that contain effects and plugins that I don't have on my system, but usually I can disable those effects or replace with plugins I DO own.

"Unlimited Value of Storyblocks"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Has saved me treamendous time with editing projects therefor resulting in more profits and growth. Without Storyblocks I would spend a total of 5-6 hours on typography graphics, filming B roll etc.

I accidentally purchased the yearly starter plan by accident and Austin (chat support) immediately refunded my money, put me on my intended plan, and even bumped me by giving me extra monthly features for free! Thank you Austin for everything! I will be a very very long customer with this kind of customer support!

Good footage and outstanding customer service!

Franco was very helpful in solving some copyright hiccups. All in all, excellent service!
