What it does
Motion Places offers 4K stock footage organised by destinations and subjects such as cities, lakes and forests. Free downloads are for internal evaluation; a paid Pro License is required before using footage in a finished or public project.
Choose a destination or subject collection, then use the Download link beneath a clip title. The Paris collection includes street scenes, rooftops, landmarks and timelapses, so it is a useful route when several shots need to establish the same location.
The Pro License is a one-time purchase covering the current library and future additions, with perpetual royalty-free use under its terms. A licence certificate is issued after purchase. Before paying, downloaded clips can be used for internal testing or mockups, but cannot appear in a published video, public display or other final work.
The licence requires footage to be combined with other material and to remain incidental to the finished work. Clips come without model or property releases, and standalone resale or redistribution is prohibited.
