Remember those old music videos of the early 50’s?
From the first ever motion images demonstration to today’s social media marketing content, video format has always left the masses amused.

After the evolution of the internet, video has found varied reasons for its existence apart from mere entertainment.

According to the State of Inbound report 2017 released by HubSpot, video marketing is a growing priority for most marketers across the globe. Videos are not only found on YouTube and social media platforms anymore but, have also expanded to website landing pages and emails.

According to mwpdigital, using the word ‘video’ in an email subject line boosts open rates by 19%. Now imagine, what adding videos in the mails could do to your business :-)

With online video makers/editors, the concept of video creation is now open for all irrespective of their lack of professional expertise. One of the most effective ways that help ease the video creation process without loss of quality is stock footages.

Apart from online stock footage sites, saving your time, money, and offering a better user experience are video editors/makers who also give access to stock footage resources. Did you know that even Hollywood uses stock footages?
