B-roll, stock footage, news footage, music, background videos, transitions, charts, 3D charts, 3D videos, video infographic templates, sound effects, video effects, and even full video templates for your next video can be purchased online. As you’re looking to streamline your video development, these packages can really accelerate your video production and make your videos look far more professional in a fraction of the time.
If you’re fairly tech savvy, you may even wish to dive into purchasing some footage. Some of the animations, for example, come with amazing instructions on how to edit the video, replace, logos, change text, etc. without being an animation wizard.
Here’s a great example. Check out this Whiteboard Pack from Videohive – you can utilize all the different pre-developed scenes to put together your own explanatory video!
Or you might want to release a nice video in After Effects about your new iPhone application. Simply buy the iPhone Catalog from BlueFX and off you go!
