VideoHive.net – Royalty Free Stock Video for Maximum Impact

Reviewing the Stock Video Available for Your Site’s Visual Content

If you want to have a direct, visual impact on the people who visit your websites, there’s no quicker way to do it than through video.

The problem? Video can be expensive. If you want to film yourself talking directly to your audience, you’ll likely need to have the proper equipment in order to broadcast an image of professionalism and quality. Working with video studios can costs thousands of dollars in order to achieve that image.

But there are ways to lessen the burden video can have on your budget. In particular, VideoHive.net is a royalty free stock video file provider featuring tens of thousands of pieces of stock footage, graphics, visual menus, and files to help you enhance the professional quality of your videos without paying professional-level prices.

Unsure of how to use it? Follow this brief guide to entering the VideoHive.

Getting Started with VideoHive

If you’ve already read my reviews of PhotoDune and AudioJungle, then there’s a good chance you signed up to an account on one of those services. As VideoHive is a sister site to both PhotoDune and AudioJungle, there’s no need to sign up to a new account if you already have one at either of the other sites.

Additionally, you’ll notice that the interface might seem a little familiar if you’ve used those other sites before. It’s easy to use: you start with a simple search query on the upper right corner on the main site and then whittle down your choices from there using a number of pre-set variables, including:

• Relevance
• Rating
• Price
• Category (Stock footage, Motion graphics, etc.)
• Date published

I highly recommend using these individual filters, because they may lead you to video files you never knew you could use. For contractors, stock footage of construction cranes moving objects can be great to host on your site, for example. You can also click on each video clip’s icon in order to bring up a preview of the video so you know what you’re getting before you make any purchase.

With many of these royalty free stock videos running for only single digits, you’ll find that you can portray a high level of professionalism in your own videos for the smallest possible investment.

Injecting Professionalism to What You’ve Already Filmed

If you already have footage of yourself on your website, it’s still not too late to inject some more professionalism in order to portray yourself and your website in the right light.

VideoHive.net makes this easy because you can sort through categories such as “After Effects Project Files” and “Apple Motion” in order to download files ready for use with video editing software like After Effects. The files will fit seamlessly into what you’ve already recorded.

Whether it’s creating transitions, video menus, or injecting video clips for voice over use, there is virtually no limit to how you can use VideoHive.net files to add a high level of visual impact to your website.

Additionally, because these video files are royalty-free, you’ll be able to use them for any range of video purposes, such as putting together your own DVDs and YouTube series. You’ll only have to pay for each video/effect upfront, after which time you’re free to use the clips and files as many times as you want.

If you want to start portraying movie studio professionalism at coffee shop prices, head on over to VideoHive to register if you haven’t already registered at PhotoDune or AudioJungle.
