When you need footage to set a scene but can’t justify the cost of going to the far ends of Earth to get it, Pond5 has the world’s largest online marketplace for royalty-free media—hosting nearly 10 million clips in 4K, HD, 360 videos of nature scenes, newsworthy events, aerial flybys, and more. Their expanding library includes drone video, 3D objects, animation, and motion graphics, as well as music, sound effects, and after-effects templates.
At NAB, Pond5 also showcased their new app that makes good use of Final Cut Pro’s integration capabilities, and website search functionality that takes any still shot and acts like Google Reverse Image Search, but for video. (Just drop in a still shot, and get back all available videos that look visually similar.)
Prices vary from a few dollars to a few thousand when buying à la carte. Subscription services are also available. What’s more, Pond5 contributors set their own price, and split the revenues 50/50, providing filmmakers a cost-efficient means to make a profit from the cutting-room floor.
