There are a lot of platforms on the web that allow users to buy royalty-free stock footage, including very famous ones, but why should users prefer mediaCastpro?

💳 Because generally on mediaCastpro the footage costs less.

There are many 4K videos that cost up to 50% less on mediaCastpro than they do on the two most popular stock footage platforms. This is possible because mediaCastpro is a B2B platform accessible only to registered users, with less expenses and less traffic, because it uses an innovative and cheap cloud storage system (Storj), and because it guarantees sellers a much higher percentage on purchases, so they can sell for less. In fact, mediaCastpro retains only 25-30% versus a typical 60-85% of many stock footage agencies. This makes mediaCastpro a much more ethical platform because it makes sure that most of the revenue goes to the people who actually made the videos.

💰 Because on mediaCastpro you only pay for what you buy.

Most other platforms push users to pay expensive subscriptions that allow for a certain number of downloads, that is almost always either too low or too high. On mediaCastpro the user pays only for the videos he or she downloads at the right price, not inflated for the sole purpose of pushing him or her into a subscription. This is the philosophy of mediaCastpro: sell at the right price, without subscriptions.

📺 Because footage purchased on mediaCastpro can be used in any video production with no limits on distribution channel and audience size.

Many other stock footage platforms, for example, prevent the use of videos on television or when there is an audience of more than 500,000 people.

📋 Because the use of footage purchased on mediaCastpro does not require credit attribution.

Maybe not everyone knows this, but some of the largest stock video agencies have clauses in their terms that, under certain conditions, require buyers to cite the platform from which they purchased footage.

👔 Because mediaCastpro is a B2B platform open only to professionals working in audiovisual content production and this leads to two substantial advantages.

The first advantage is that the footage for sale is not publicly visible to everyone but maintains its own confidentiality until purchase and use. The second advantage is that the platform is designed for audiovisual professionals and is, therefore, more user-friendly for them: for example, prices are shown without VAT and taxes and it is very easy to make VAT- and tax-free purchases.

💥 Because on mediaCastpro you can find videos sold exclusively.

If you buy a video sold exclusively, you will be the only one who can use it and you are guaranteed that no one else can. In this way, it is almost like having commissioned footage from a professional camera operator.

📹 Because on mediaCastpro you can buy footage composed of many clips, as generated by the camera and also very long.

For many video editors, dealing with original, unedited footage that has not yet been processed or cut is a great opportunity to make better finished videos. Other stock video platforms too often place limits on video lengths, codecs, or formats. On mediaCastpro it is also possible to upload videos with LOG profile, optionally applying a LUT to the preview that is shown to users.

🔊 Because on mediaCastpro you can request the footage you can't find and have it sent directly to you by the sellers.

In fact, thanks to the video request feature, you can describe the footage you need and receive proposals from sellers.

🍃 Because mediaCastpro is eco-friendly.

In addition to having a "green" business model, which disincentivizes the movement of video operators in favor of a market that allows remote selling and buying, it also uses a particularly environmentally sustainable cloud storage system: Storj.

📄 Because on mediaCastpro, with each purchase, you receive an invoice detailing the purchased video and its cost.

If you are a professional who makes videos for clients, having an invoice for the purchase can be useful to you, in order to be able to charge the final client.

In essence, mediaCastpro is a safe and secure marketplace where video production professionals can buy and sell footage, at the right price, and without an intermediary who not only chooses the prices and the videos that can be published and takes most of the profit, but also places many constraints and limitations, on topics, codecs, durations, etc.
