30+ Place Where You Can Find Great Free Video Footage

Looping video backgrounds is one of the fastest growing trends in web design. The usage of video background can easily make people stop and stare, then examine it, increasing the time they spend on the site.

In this post, we’ve collected 30 websites which offer video intros, stock videos and video footage for free. These videos are arranged in a number of categories, from abstract to arts and culture, from sports to science … Many of the video clips are designed and given away by video design professionals.

We hope you find our showcase useful for your next web design project.
