I am sure there have been times when working on an edit you wish you had access to a diverse choice of footage, and then do a search for "
free footage" on the web only to find pages and pages saying "
royalty-free footage" which as we all know have a price tag/cost attached, which is fair enough.
But there are websites out there that do have completely free stock footage.
Free stock footage links:
