0:09
that you can use royalty-free and copyright-free for both personal and commercial use
0:14
In this video, I'll show you the top five sites we've used to download free stock video footage for YouTube
0:19
and other projects we've worked on. Let's get started. for our countdown at number five is the Devo. The site offers thousands of free stock videos
0:35
and motion graphics that were created by their community members, most of which are in
0:40
HD with a small selection also in 4k. After doing a search, if you only want to see the free stock
0:46
footage, click on filters. In clip type, uncheck premium clips. Only free clips should be checked
0:56
You can also filter by duration, resolution, license type, and categories. On any website, it's important to read over the license details before downloading any clips
1:07
For example, this video has a royalty-free license, which allows you to use it for any project
1:12
that you want, but the copyright remains with the creator. This essentially means that you cannot redistribute the clip in its original form
1:19
An example would be making the stock clip available to download on another website
1:24
On VEDivo, to get more details about the license, click on Learn More
1:27
This will open a new page, giving you more details about the license for that video

all of which are royalty-free for both personal and commercial use. On their homepage, instead of doing a typical search, you can browse the newest videos
2:49
But what I find helpful, depending on the project I'm working on, is to browse by category
2:55
Here you'll find several categories and subcategories. Some of the categories we found useful in the past include aerial, animals, and wildlife, art
3:04
nature, travel, urban, and abstract. After doing a search, you can filter on the left by file type, license type, resolution
3:16
and format. In addition to the free clips you see that some of the results have a green tag that says Pro These are what they call premium clips that require paying with credits There are various types of licenses on Vidizi Below any video that you want to use click on License Info
