Finding High-Quality Stock for Professional Videos: From A-Z
With more than 1 million photos and videos offered in our Select stock library and 100 million+ photos and videos available through our Premium stock library, you can easily create beautiful, sleek, and professional videos to attract your target audience or engage your stakeholders.
You can use photos and video clips entirely from our Getty Images stock library, or you can combine our media with your own photos and videos. Not sure where to begin? We’ve compiled a list of search terms from A-Z to help you find the photos and videos that best suit your professional video-making needs.
Pro tip: Use these search terms as a starting point and get specific according to your needs. For example, start with the search term “desk.” From there, add keywords to narrow down your search, like “desk in classroom” or “cubicle desk.”
