subject: Why Digital Stock Footage Is An Invaluable Resource For Professionals [print this page] Creative professionals need resources to advance their businesses and stock footage libraries can provide them with those resources so they can expand professionally. Regardless of the specific industry in which you work, if you make use of digital stock footage in your trade, you will likely find a library of digital videos an invaluable resource and, after you become accustom to using a library of this type, you will wonder how you ever went without.
Jazzing up Presentations
If you often make presentations in your business, digital stock footage can help you transform them from bland to brilliant. While many professionals add pictures to their presentations, you can set yourself apart by adding moving footage, making your presentations attention getting and showing your creativity and technical skill. For individuals that work as private contractors, adding stock footage to presentations can be even more beneficial as it makes you seem highly professional and established, likely helping you win over hesitant clients.
Crafting Winning Advertisements
With stock footage and a strong script, you can create advertisements that are within your budget but still impressive enough to draw in customers. Regardless of whether the ad is being designed for television, will be streamed on websites or you are looking to create great videos that will run in-house in waiting rooms and public areas, you'll have the resources available with stock footage that will fit all your needs. By making your ad with stock footage instead of taping your own scenes for the spot, you can save both time and money as you will not need to hire a videographer or actors, nor will you have to create a taping schedule and wait for your scenes to be shot before you can whip up your advertisement.
Safe to Use
Much of the footage available on the internet is not free for use. By subscribing to a stock footage library instead of pirating pieces of footage from the internet, you can ensure that all of the projects in which you use footage are legal and that you are not violating any copyright laws. Because copyright infringement, intentional or accidental, can leave you faced with fines and, in some cases, even jail time, the safety and security that comes along with using stock footage from a library instead of chancing it with internet footage will in and of itself make subscription to the library worth your time and money.
Seeking Inspiration
If you are a creative professional constantly seeking a muse, stock footage could prove surprisingly helpful. Taking a look through all of the digital video offerings available in a stock footage library can give you that perfect idea which will fuel your next project and can inspire you to expand the capabilities of your business in lots of new directions.
