We hope that these consolidation efforts will produce more tools for video editors to find the right footage faster.Adobe, Inc. So the size may not matter much if the good stuff is nowhere to be found. With millions of videos already available, it is difficult to find really good gems in these massive libraries. Since the stock video libraries are not exclusive, you may find the same video on several sites (and the licensing fee may be different too).Īs an active user of stock videos, we see a caveat. If you are familiar with how stock videos make their way to the stock sites, you know that contributors submit the same footage to multiple sites at once. Yes, Shutterstock is set to become the largest video library. We do not agree with this assessment entirely. The number of 55M video clips to choose from also popped up. Some websites mention that Shutterstock and Pond5 will make the biggest stock video library in the world by combining their videos. If you use the Adobe stock video library (we believe iStock is impacted too), this library will not be the same from August 1st onward. We think Adobe is now searching for a new video partner to take Pond5’s place. This will be a major blow to Adobe Stock as their video library will be very slim, all of a sudden.

The little known fact is that Pond5 had the majority of its video inventory rented out to Adobe Stock. Pond5 has always been known as a sizable video library, which was not too easy to navigate.Īmong video makers, Pond5 has a good reputation as it’s one of the few stock video sites that allows contributors to set their own prices. Ever since, Pond5 has built a massive library of stock videos (over 30M clips as of June 2022), thousands of stock music tracks and sound effects. Pond5 was founded in 2006 with a focus on stock footage. As Shutterstock continues its expansion with the earlier acquisitions of Bigstockphoto (stock image site) in 2009, PremiumBeat (royalty free music site) in 2015, Turbosquid (3D model marketplace) in 2020, Picmonkey (online photo editor) in 2021, it invited Pond5 to their family of brands in 2022. The deal valued at $210 million brought two large stock sites together. If you follow the news about the sites that provide creative stock assets, you probably saw the news about Shutterstock acquiring Pond5 back in May 2022.
