About Stock Footage

Stock images are general photos or videos which are uploaded on platforms like IndieVisual, where anyone can get the license to use them for their own marketing/informational purposes.

Stock video footage is basically a short clip of 10-60 seconds, archived on platforms like IndieVisual and can be used for multiple purposes like movies, YouTube videos, advertisements, etc.

A Royalty-free stock image is acquired by buying a one-time license, which allows you to use the downloaded stock image multiple times.

You can explore our unique and huge gallery of stock images with many categories on IndieVisual. Start by typing the keywords for the thing you are searching for on the search bar, and you will see many related images and videos to choose from.

Stock images on platforms like IndieVisual are copyrighted, which means you have to buy a license in order to use them legally.
About Us

Indievisual is an India-centric stock footage website that provides ready-to-use video clips. Our content comes from our community of contributors. Before being uploaded on our website, the videos are thoroughly evaluated so they meet our quality parameters.

To download any stock footage from the Indievisual site, you need to have credits in your account. To buy credits, according to your requirements, know more about our [plans].

Once you have credits in your account, go to the video you want to download and click on the download button. After your confirmation, your download will start.

If you have very specific requirements that you can’t meet through the available stock footage, you can mail us at shoot@indievisual.in with your contact details, and we can get it done for you.

Technical

You should be able to use the website using most common browsers – Firefox, Chrome, Safari and even the eight people who use Edge.

The creators we work with remain the actual owners of the copyright to their work. So our content library is going to see changes from time to time. We’re constantly aiming to make it bigger and more versatile, so hopefully you should be able to find something similar that still meets your needs!

However, if you’ve already bought a clip and it’s no longer available on the site, rest assured, you still have a license to use that footage in your projects.

You can do that from your account page on the site.
