Great product, great service, great people.

VideoBlocks has been an invaluable resource for our filmmaking students.

A great resource!

I work for Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto, Canada. I use both Video Blocks and Audio Blocks on a regular basis to enhance my short production videos and live streams. The content is top quality and easy to use. It is my 1st resource choice for my post production needs. Greg Vanden Kroonenberg Multimedia Specialist

Best bang for the Buck

VideoBlocks is the most cost effective source of AE templates, stock footage, motion BGs etc. For the last couple of years we have been using AudioBlocks for music, leaving our several hundred music CDs to gather dust. Certainly much of the marketplace material looks good but I never bother with it. If I need specific video, I go shoot it myself. I should point out that our core business is eLearning development, so much of the stock footage serves as placeholders in projects, until we ...

Video Blocks has the goods.

Video is where it's at today! I highly suggest V B now for amazing content!

sensational

I'm starting to fiddle now, but I could see that I'm going to love it

Unacceptable sales pitch

"No Additional Fees All video clips provided on VideoBlocks.com come with the right to use them royalty-free in all types of projects. There are absolutely no additional fees."

Since we do not own that content, we can't include it in our own library. We ...

Doing It Right

There are dozens of sources for stock video that can be downloaded (many illegally) and never credited that may fir a certain 'creative' project. Video Blocks contains a seemingly endless supply of material in all sorts of lengths and formats that will suit the most demanding videographer-editors job of the getting the right image and not worrying about credits. Granted, there are so many- it may take some time and thought to search the VideoBlock database- but that's a good thing. Working ...

Didn't get what I needed

I came to the site looking for a 5 second countdown, like a shot clock, that I could put in the corner of a shot. It was behind a $50 pay wall and that was the member price. I'll just go shoot my own footage.

Great service with a lot of useful videoclips for almost any occation

I use the videoBlocks service and the AudioBlocks service every time I'll work with video editing. And almost every time I'll find a pice of audio or video that I belive makes my video a little better. Thanks

Time Overload

It takes so long for the video to load in order to review it before deciding whether you want to download it. When I'm in a hurry, I loose patience quickly and go to a different site.
