Free stock footage, music from Video Blocks

Got an email yesterday about an upcoming company called Video Blocks that's offering free stock footage from their collection of over 50,000 video, motion backgrounds and production music - if you sign up for a 7-day trial.


The offer seemed really tempting so I did some research on Video Blocks and realized they were featured on TechCrunch too:


Anyhow, I still have to check them out. The 7-day trial offer is really tempting, the only catch is that they require your credit card info to complete the trial sign-up. This is so that if you forget to cancel your trial in 7 days you will be charged at their regular monthly fee of $79 per month. But this kind of marketing tactic is not new at all...many big and small retailers, including Netflix have used a similar model of internet marketing to generate leads.

In any case, if you're into video editing or post production this offer is really attractive. Even the monthly cost of $79 is quite a decent deal for the amount of stock footage and clips that Video Blocks have on offer. But if you think you're not at the stage where you can afford a recurring cost, just take up their 7-day free trial and remember to cancel before it ends!

Thanks for sharing this! Video Blocks sounds like a great resource, especially for those of us working on video editing and production. Having access to such a large library of stock footage and music can save a ton of time and add a professional touch to projects.

I manage a blog where I focus on photo editing tools and tutorials, and I’ve been thinking of incorporating video content into my work. Free trials like this are a great way to explore whether a service fits your workflow without committing upfront.

For those who’ve used Video Blocks, do they offer any unique features or file formats that work well for motion graphics or 4K editing? Would love to hear your thoughts!

This is a great find for anyone in video production or digital filmmaking! Access to high-quality stock footage and music can make a huge difference in creating professional projects. For those who work with large video files, cloud storage solutions are also a game-changer. Platforms like Terabox can help filmmakers store, share, and collaborate on massive video files seamlessly, ensuring all your footage and edits are secure and accessible. Combining tools like Video Blocks for creative assets with reliable cloud storage can really streamline the workflow for editors and filmmakers. Thanks for sharing this resource.
