With a new approach to video co-creation that mirrors the reality of new teams-based workflows for video creation, elevate.io has now added a massive stock video library to its platform. And it’s free!

elevate.io recently announced that Bill Roberts, former product lead for Adobe Premiere and After Effects, and one of the key architects of the Frame.io acquisition, has joined elevate.io as a strategic advisor to the board. The company said, then, that “it’s an important development because it not only validates the company’s strategy for cloud based video creation for teams, but it also signals the platform is poised for growth in the Creator Economy.”

Now, as part of that growth, elevate.io announces that it has added free stock video libraries for all users to its platform. Leveraging the Pexels API, the elevate.io development team has integrated a massive library of hundreds of thousands of royalty free stock video footage directly into its video co-creation platform. With this announcement, all elevate.io users regardless of what level of account they have, now have access to royalty free stock footage at no additional cost, and seamlessly integrated into the collaborative editing platform.

Key to this new feature integration is its accessibility to users from within the user interface. elevate.io video creators simply click the ‘Stock’ tab within their project’s Media Tab, and without leaving the edit, they have access to hundreds of thousands of royalty free stock video clips that they can simply search, then drag and drop to their timeline. This feature is tightly integrated into the elevate.io workflow, much like its unique implementation of team-based review and approval, and multiplayer collaboration. Everything happens within the same UI so as not to disrupt the creative flow.

The full elevate.io video co-creation platform is available immediately and is free for all users. However elevate.io also offers a subscription-based Creator Plan with expanded features and benefits. The elevate.io Free Plan includes 5 seats, 25 projects, 5 GB cloud storage, 720p HD exports and 100 free tokens for AI tools.

The elevate.io Creator Plan is priced at $15.00 USD per month and includes 5 seats, unlimited projects, 500 GB cloud storage, unlimited 4K Ultra HD exports, 100 monthly tokens for AI tools, access all effects and no elevate.io branding on exports.
