      Does it matter? If it's good, it's good. What's with the cynicism. Storyblocks website is so much better than Shutterstock. And as a video newbie I thought Shutterstock was the market leader. The UI/UX sucks. The files don't even have filenames after downloading them LOL.

    I was SUPER excited to finally find stock footage that was actually quality. I was browsing through all of their clips and EVERY topic that I searched had a very relevant clip. So I decided to take the plunge and sign up for a membership. Well what do you know? All of those clips that I found weren't part of your membership, they cost extra. If you typed in beer for instance you would get 10 clips, and 8 of them were relevant and really good BUT they cost extra. The other two were crappy in comparison. I was INCREDIBLY upset about this as I felt like they straight up pulled a bait and switch on me. I wouldn't recommend their service to anyone, just shoot your own B Roll!

      Perfect reply! The same exact thing happened to me. Paid for the subscription and when I went to download the clips I had previewed, they weren't part of the "everything" package. Evidentially "everything" isn't really everything. The similar clips were so terrible I couldn't use them. I contacted support, and they offered me $50 off, I appreciated the gesture, but canceled my subscription.

    @crackingstuff5056 Před 5 lety +5

    I advice to try it first. I had to make a video and I checked it out finding lots of video, but you don't get the most of it, which are available only buying the "single file" on the market place.Also, even the media available with the membership are not all monetizable because not all of them have the creator release, and you have to contact the creator to get it, as written in tos.

    Honestly so many red flags in this video already. The fact that he used the cheap 1054 trick at the start to try and get you to watch to the end and the fact that he is sponsored by story blocks is just really shady practice. If anything this has changed my mind from pro to anti-story blocks.

  • @RGMGFitness
    @RGMGFitness Před 5 lety +1

    Tempted to 'try' StoryBlocks but I'm seeing a lot of negative comments about people getting CopyRight Strikes on their CZcams Videos (both video content and audio content). Have things gotten any better in the past few months? Anyone have any recent issues using storyblocks? Bottom line is time is money and I don't want to deal with copyright strikes (even if there false).

    CZcams copyright claim by Storyblocks themselves. "We can not find your email in our systems"
    Give them your receipt. "Please send us proof of your purchase."
    Good luck with that.
    Oh and good luck with model release forms they don't provide. Doesn't matter what you pay them. You need permission form every person in the footage or image in a model release form.

    While their music is good a lot of the tracks I used were getting copyright claims against them, the claims were eventually removed but it was a pain having to deal with them in the first place. I've since stopped using their music due to the hassle of getting copyright claims removed. But if you don't mind sorting out false copyright claims (which is usually pretty straight forward) they have a pretty good library of tracks.

    @TripHacksDC Před 5 lety +6

    I've been a subscriber for 2 years and I've found the service worth the cost. That said, I understand that this is a sponsored video and think it's important to know that the stock video collection is very hit or miss and will not work for everybody. For example, I make videos about Washington DC and there is a lot of local footage to choose from (which makes sense as I understand the company started here) but I recently wanted to make a video about taking a day trip to Baltimore and Richmond and there was almost nothing available for those cities. I definitely suggest searching their archive before subscribing to make sure they have what you need, and make sure the "member library" checkbox is checked, because there is a lot of footage not included in the subscription.
