What is footage?
Stock footage is pre-recorded video content that you can use in your own projects, without the need to shoot it yourself. It covers everything from nature shots to city scenes and more. It is perfect for saving time, filling gaps, or adding high-quality visuals to your work.
What is RAW/LOG?
RAW and LOG footage are high-quality video formats used to capture more detail and dynamic range than standard video. RAW records unprocessed data straight from the camera sensor, giving you full control in editing. LOG uses a flat color profile that keeps more information in bright and dark areas, perfect for color grading and getting a polished, cinematic look.
