Providing filmmakers, editors and designers with quick and easy access to a wider variety of 100 percent royalty-free stock footage, Artbeats, the industry’s leading creative footage resource, announced its launch of FootageHub. Previously available in public beta trial, FootageHub is an extension of the Artbeats library and allows customers to search from a large database of clips derived from over 50 different brands, 20 of which are exclusive to FootageHub. With thousands of diverse and hard-to-acquire shots, Artbeats FootageHub immediately broadens stock footage opportunities for any project or budget range.
“When it comes to stock footage, professionals are looking for the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective solution,” says Artbeats Founder and President, Phil Bates. “No one wants to take the time to search several different footage sites just to find a single clip. This is exactly why Artbeats created FootageHub. Whether it is high-resolution RED footage, medical animations or unique and exotic locations, FootageHub provides the breadth that only multiple brands can bring. Through this concept, customers can access a vast resource of downloadable royalty-free clips in one simple, customized search at www.artbeats.com.”
An actively growing resource, Artbeats FootageHub currently includes footage from many notable content providers including Rubberball, A Luna Blue, RocketClips, Steve Gibby and 3D4Medical. The rapid expansion of the FootageHub service allows Artbeats to increase its stock footage library by 10 times in a single month, furthering www.artbeats.com as the most complete, creative resource for royalty-free stock footage needs. Artbeats FootageHub additionally serves as a platform for professional independent producers to distribute their footage libraries, providing an opportunity to stay competitive with large name brands.
Artbeats FootageHub single clips are sold exclusively through www.artbeats.com. While some FootageHub brands are available on other footage sites, only Artbeats maintains this unique gathering of quality, worldwide brands and libraries on one Web site.
