"Simple & Easy"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Large collection of relevant video and audio assets What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

"An amazing resource!"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? I really like the variety of options for still photos AND video. Being able to use stock b-roll for video production is super helpful, especially when we're trying to make something that will be used to encourage students to think differently. I like the diversity in your shots and the chance

"Love that content is subscription based"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? I like that accounts are subscription based, so for 1 monthly or annual fee you can download unlimited assets What do you dislike about Storyblocks?

"Very useful. Definitely would like more seamless looping backgrounds"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Storyblocks is great. I use the seamless looping stuff the most. I would love to have more backgrounds of rooms that had lights so I could do my livestreams and make it look like I'm somewhere else. Longer city timelapse shots are great too. So many of your backgrounds are amazing but they don't loop cleanly so I can't use them. That's very distracting.

"Very useful in finding motion graphics and stock footage I need for a wide variety of projects."

What do you like best about Storyblocks? I love the variety of motion graphics I'm able to find. I also like the quality of the stock footage and the choice to download the mp4 or the proRes versions. It's also very reasonably priced compared to other sources like Adobe Stock.

"Great resource for YouTube channel creators"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? I love the quality of the videos that are available on Storyblocks. When I search for something, it is very likely to be found on Storyblocks.

"Good library, slow website performance"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Video library is quite wide, although quality of videos varies quite a lot. Still, I haven't found anything better at this price point. Music library is quite decent, and while I've been using Artlist quite a lot - I've noticed that songs from artlist quite often end up in commercials, which is not the case with videoblocks (at least yet). So music is a bit more unique, even if not so "cinematic". With Artlist it is way too cinematic for my needs.

"A Fantastic Resource"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? The wide variety of footage from different cities all around the world. I edit many talking head interviews, and various cities are always being mentioned. It's nice to be able to have a selection of drone shots to throw into the edit to illustrate and support the point being made. I also find myself using a lot of footage from their scenes of business people meeting, working, working remotely etc.

"Complete specific situational content with just a search"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? The searchability of the content is key. Our business requires a variety of content to convey various moods for all kinds of business types and we have a lot of outside the box thinkers that make great use of storyblocks content.

"Decent but room for improvement"

What do you like best about Storyblocks? Storyblock is very nice because you get unlimited access to sound effects, music, video and pictures. That makes it really allround for content creators. The option to look for similar sounds also is a huge plus!
