No. MotionLayers footage is royalty-free, so once you purchase a product, you can use it in your projects without paying additional usage fees. This includes web videos, films, television, advertising, international projects, and repeated use across your finished productions.

The licensing duration for the use of purchased and free stock media is an unlimited time. That's right, you can use MotionLayers footage -- forever!

Our footage is created from high-quality 32-bit source files and exported with professional color depth, so you get clean, reliable files ready for editing, compositing, and other post-production work.

An alpha channel is transparency information built into a video file. It lets the clip appear with a transparent background, making it easy to layer fire, smoke, explosions, or other effects over your footage.

The transparent background and subtle levels of transparency that an alpha channel provides, make layering, inserting, and compositing our footage as easy as drag and drop. You can easily add our footage to your existing projects or use it on its own.

No. Many MotionLayers products include alpha channel versions, and some include green screen versions that can be keyed for transparency. A small number of clips are isolated on black instead. Each product page will show which format options are included before you download or purchase.

Most of our footage is 4K resolution. However, we do offer some shots at Full-HD resolution.
