Hi, guys!
Welcome to the IMHO Reviews channel.
In this video, I'm going to talk about a video assets platform called Motion Array.
I have become a Motion Array member last year, and finally, today I decided to make a video
review about the platform and share my honest opinion with you.
I will discuss Motion Array's pricing, key features, library, and pros and cons.
So by the end of this video, you should know whether Motion Array is a good fit for you
and your business.
And now, let's get rolling!
For those of you who haven't heard of Motion Array before, let me start by explaining really
quickly what it is and how it works.
Well, basically Motion Array is a membership-based website that offers a wide array of digital
assets for content creators, filmmakers, and anyone who is interested in post-production.
For a flat monthly fee, you get unlimited access to the whole library of stock videos,
motion graphics, royalty-free music and sound effects, photos, templates, presets, and plugins.
There are almost a million assets to choose from, plus the new ones are constantly being
added, so you'll never run out of choices.
Moreover, Motion Array boasts the world’s largest catalog of Premiere Pro plugins, which
makes the company different from any other subscription service I've ever used before.
There are also thousands of templates in the library, including Adobe After Effects, Adobe
Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Rush, Davinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro.
Honestly, guys, when I first joined the platform, I was overwhelmed by all the choices.
I initially decided to try Motion Array because of their collection of plugins, since its
something that most of the other similar platforms lack, but it turns out, that their library
of stock videos, music, and photos is also pretty good, too.
I already created several projects using the footage I downloaded from Motion Array, and
I can say that I'm really impressed with how they turned out.
Okay, let's talk about pricing now.
Motion Array has several subscription options.
You can either sign up for a monthly plan which costs $29.99 per month or opt for an
annual membership that costs $249.99 per year or around $20 per month.
I create a lot of videos and so I have an annual membership which saves me over $100
a year.
But if you just need to download assets for one of two projects, then a monthly membership
is a better choice for you.
Motion Array doesn't have a free trial, but if you want to try the platform, you can first
sign up for a free account, get access to hundreds of free assets, and later decide
whether you want to become a paying member.
So why do I recommend Motion Array and why do I use it?
Well, the first reason is pretty obvious - it's cheap.
For $20 a month you get unlimited access to the whole library of high-quality stock videos,
music, and images.
It's more affordable than most stock video websites, and the quality is generally good,
too.
I also love Motion Array's collection of templates.
I'm an Adobe user so this is a huge bonus for me.
But even if you prefer Final Cut Pro, don't worry, there are a few thousand templates
available for download for you, too.
The third reason is the license.
That's actually one of the most important factors for me when it comes to choosing a
stock footage website.
All the assets in the Motion Array library are covered by a simple, universal license,
and most can be used for commercial purposes.
As long as you remain a paying member, you can download as many assets as you want and
use them in as many projects.
All the projects you create while your subscription is active will be covered forever.
However, keep in mind, that after you cancel your membership, you will no longer be able
to use the downloaded assets in any new projects.
And lastly, Motion Array membership delivers a lot of perks such as free access to the
Video Review tool that allows users to share their videos with clients and team members
and get feedback in real-time, and a Portfolio Builder that enables users to create stunning,
professional-looking video websites.
I don't use the Video Review tool much, but I do like the Portfolio Builder a lot.
It's easy-to-use and it helps me create websites in a matter of minutes.
There is also a Learn category which is great for both beginners and more advanced users.
It's full of tutorials on a variety of topics, such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final
Cut Pro, Filmmaking, Motion Design, Photography, and more.
Okay, and now let's talk about Motion Array cons.
Even though the library is big, there are some platforms that have twice as many assets.
Does it bother me?
No, because for me there is more than enough content, and plus, the library is constantly
growing and expanding, especially since Motion Array's acquisition by a Media Licensing company,
Artlist in 2020.
One thing I don't like is the fact that once your subscription ends, you can't use the
files you downloaded anymore.
However, that's not really a big deal, especially considering how affordable Motion Array subscription
is.
Also, the quality of some assets is not as great, and sometimes you have to dig a bit
deeper to find the perfect file.
So, is Motion Array worth it?
For me, the answer is yes.
It's cheap, the library is big, and there are plenty of high-quality assets.
Sometimes I have to spend a bit more time to find the footage I need, but it's common
with all stock video websites.
And the fact that you can actually download plugins on Motion Array?
That alone makes it worth the price.
Will Motion Array work for you?
Well, that depends on your needs.
I think that Motion Array is a good fit for most content creators, but if you want to
create really unique content, then you might consider purchasing single clips from premium
services.
However, if you are anything like me, and you are just looking for a source of unlimited
- and affordable - stock footage and don't want to worry about licensing, then I highly
recommend giving Motion Array a go.
