Turning your dream into reality can be hard, but with stock footage, you can do it—easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Have a new coffee shop you’re opening up? Or perhaps a hardware store? Maybe you’re writing a new book you want to promote? If you need to market the next big thing, but don’t have the footage, images, or audio to show it off, Storyblocks is here for you.

We created a sample ad for a dating app to show you just how versatile our stock footage is. For this video, we used footage, music, and sound effects from the Storyblocks library to promote our imaginary app, as well as Adobe Premiere Pro to put it all together.

The editing process was relatively simple and can be done using whichever editing platform you’re most comfortable with (including iMovie!). We cut our clips but didn’t make any complex edits—save for some sound adjustments on our audio (modifying volume levels). Other than that, everything was fairly straightforward. We chose our clips, cut them, synced our audio and our SFX, added some bumpers, and that was it! Here’s the final product:

We started with a simple concept: create a marketing video for a dating app. From there, we searched our video and audio libraries to find the content we needed to tell our story.
