In today's video, I'm going to share with you sites that offer free stock, video.
Music, sound effects and templates.
I'll be comparing the. Pros and. Cons of. Each.
Although there's not a lot of cons because. It's free.
But specifically. I'll be looking at the. Usability.
And the licensing.
So I would link to.
All the different resources just. Down below.
If you'd like to browse as we compare for now, let's go.
Ahead and jump on in.
First up is mix kit.
Mix Kit is the first resource I send to people.
If they're like, Hey, I'm just getting started in video.
And I don't really have the money or resources.
To purchase a paid for subscription.
But I want some just free templates.
Stock. Video and music to use.
So a mixed. Kit. It has it all and you.
Don't need to log in once you click on an asset,
you can just click on download free video and it immediately starts downloading.
The templates. Are really high.
Quality and they. Offer four. Different types.
There's premiere pro after effects, Final Cut Pro as well as DaVinci Resolve.
So if we. Click on Premiere Pro.
You can see up at the. Top you can browse. By all.
These different types of. Categories.
For example, lower thirds, you can click here.
And once you click on a lower. Third that you like, you.
Can download the free template and it immediately starts downloading.
Now the thing about.
These templates, they're really well.
Designed, but you need to know.
How to use the software.
For example, it only. Includes the project file.
In the. Footage. There's no help files with these free assets.
But if you know how to use Premiere Pro
and you're good at figuring things out, then this. Is a great. Resource.
A few of my favorite templates from Mix Kit.
Include this VHS slideshow.
Which I've put a link to down below.
As well as all of their title moguls here.
They even have credit rolls.
They have so.
Much here that you can take advantage of and start using in your own social videos.
And it's. All free.
And the licensing is simple.
For a video clip. For example, if we click on this.
Video, it says This is a free. Download.
For the HD. Version. Download the.
Stock video.
Clip for commercial or personal use under the Mixed Kids.
Stock Video Free License.
It also details what you.
Can use it with, so it's nicely organized for you.
So one part of mixed kit that's kind of confusing for
some people is that Envato Elements is promoted on the site.
Which is actually. The parent company of mixed. Kit.
So if you're. Browsing different stock.
Video clips. For example, and.
You go.
Down, these are actually envato elements, stock.
Video clips. So if you click.
On one of these and it asks you to. Subscribe, you've actually.
Gone off to Envato elements, which.
Has. A lot more to offer.
It has a lot more templates and stock video,
and I personally use elements and I think it's great, but mixed.
Kit is just like a little taster.
But just know that it is promoted here.
So be sure not to click on this if you want a free item.
So if this video is helping you out so.
Far, be sure to give it a thumbs up as well as subscribe.
And a quick announcement on August 24th.
I'm running a YouTube editing workshop with Nas Academy,
so the link is just down.
Below to reserve your free spot to.
Watch live and you can ask questions.
So I'll be covering different editing tricks and Premiere.
Pro that will help with your YouTube.
Audience retention, so.
That way they won't click off. So link for that. Is just down below.
And next up. Is that Evo?
So that Evo offers all of the.
Core needs. Of a video creator.
You can see here it has videos.
Templates, audio, music and sound effects,
but it does not have the icons or photos like Mixed Kid does.
So that's. One downside.
But if you don't need that, then it's not really a downside in the licensing is.
Also really easy like.
Mixed kit just down below the download button, you can.
See that it says it's YouTube safe, you can use it for.
Commercial use and it's.
Royalty free.
One benefit here is that it offers 4K.
Which makes kid does not have.
So on the right you can also. Browse.
Similar.
Clips to this clip, which Mexico doesn't have, but these are actually.
Sponsored similar to the elements deal.
Here you can get these at. iStock and then these ones here.
That have the. Lightning bolt, these are premium only.
So if you click on this. It's actually.
A premium download and you won't be able to actually download it
until you sign up for.
A video.
Premium plan.
So that's just something to be aware of.
Not everything is free.
One other benefit. Of video, Evo, is there's a whole filter.
System here on the left which makes kid doesn't have.
So you can browse. By free clips.
Only and you can browse by 4K only in different types.
Of categories. And licensing.
Types as. Well.
One other thing to take note.
Of is if you go to export their video.
Editing templates. For example, if you go to.
Premiere Pro Templates, you'll notice that when you click on them here, you
actually need a premium plan to be able to download any of the templates.
None of them are free. So mixed. Kit.
You can download the free templates in here on video.
You need to upgrade to be able to use them.
The next free resource is very easy.
Or you might know it as vector z and actually.
Started as a.
Design only resource for designers or.
People that. Just want to be able to download some icons
and not have to design it themselves.
But they've written.
Recently freshened to learn, but they.
Recently created.
Vita Easy where you can browse a free HD stock.
Video and 4K videos.
And as we scroll down, there's. After.
Effects templates and you can click on this, you can download it for.
Free without logging. In at all. One downside.
About very easy is that. After you download, you still need to give.
Credit back to the. Original author. You can just download it and use it.
You need to actually. Put. Credits in your video
and in the description box saying that you got it from.
That easy or vector.
So this is.
Different than mixed kit and that evo where you can just download
and you don't have to give attribution at all.
So back on very easy.
If we go to vectors, this will actually take you to vectors.
And what's interesting about vectors is not only can you get
the vector items, but.
It also has a whole video category. And a photo. Category.
So from the video.
Category, you can see that this is free. So if.
We click on this, you can download for.
Free, but you have to attribute back to the author, let's put up a table here.
So Mexico, Evo and video.
See they all have free video, stock footage.
As for music and sound effects, very easy is only one that does not have.
It when it comes to video templates.
All three. Of them have.
It, but video. Evo, they're not free.
You need a premium plan when it comes to photos.
Video Evo is the.
Only one that does not have. Any free photos.
When it comes to illustrations and.
Vectors for the.
Evo does not have that in terms of following the author and keeping up.
To date with new assets that are available.
That easy is the winner here on all of them.
There's no logging required. Which is great.
You can just download whatever you want.
And then in terms of licensing, mix, kit and video, Evo are much more simple
because. They detail exactly.
What you need in the free items, unlike back to Z and very easy, you don't need.
To attribute to the author.
And then in terms of upgrade options, all three.
Of them allow you to upgrade to.
Access more.
So there's also Pixabay, which first started as free photos.
But as you can. See here, there's now illustrations.
There's vectors, there's videos.
Music and sound. Effects.
Which is fantastic. So you can go here and.
You can just download and you don't have to.
Create a. Log in or anything.
It says crediting isn't required, but linking back is greatly appreciated.
The same thing on Unsplash.
If you've ever used Unsplash.
Before for photos, it's a very.
Similar thing where you can use it.
For free, but it's just like.
Say thanks to the. Author by.
Crediting them.
So Pixabay is. Great.
The next one is Pexels.
So as you scroll. Down here you. Can see the photos are very.
Cinematic, high. Quality.
This is one benefit.
Of pixels is that they have a really. Nice.
Library of videos are very high.
Quality and.
They have vertical video as well.
So when you click on this video. Of course. You can download and.
You can choose the size. That you want, but you can also.
Click. On the author. Here.
And from here you can choose just.
To browse by videos.
So here. You can find similar looking.
Stock video to build stories with.
The same. Subject. That way you have.
The same consistent look throughout and you can follow them, message them
and also donate, which I think is a.
Great way to give back to the author
for providing you with some free footage that probably would help you. Out.
And lastly, there. Is. Cover and they have tons of.
Stock video.
It's really nice and cinematic, but it's not as well-organized as.
Pixels, but they have a lot of diversity here. For example, if.
We click on stand Up for.
Pride, you can see that they advertise Shutterstock as well.
So if you. Click on these, these are actually not free to download.
But if you go down below you. Can see the free stock video here.
They offer the.
Option to download an HD.
Or 4K very, very easy to use.
So with all these resources from mixed kid video, very easy vectors.
Pexels. Pixabay, and cover, you're.
Going to find enough footage and templates.
To get. Started in video.
So overall, in terms of usability and the amount.
Of resources that are free, mixed is.
Definitely the winner here.
Even if you're not going to find something on mixed kit between all.
The other resources, you'll.
Find something that.
Will help you out for sure.
Of course, there may be times where you're not able to find what you need.
For your.
Video,
and that's when you may consider a paid for plan like in one or two elements.
Or if. It Evo's.
Premium plan, there's also a motion array as well
and actually made a video comparing motion rate elements.
So if you're trying to decide.
What paid for platform would be best for you to access.
Unlimited templates.
And stock video you can watch that video up there to.
See which one might be. Best for you.
And yeah, hopefully. This video is useful to you.
