Royalty-Free Stock Footage
Stock footage is the beating pulse of visual craft—pre-shot clips to ignite your next film, TV hit, or social blast. Royalty-free? That’s the best bit: buy once, use forever, no extra fees chasing you. At www.chrishomer.uk, my library’s over 14,000 clips—20 years of grit, royalty-free, 4K UHD, no extra costs for broadcast TV or 4K, no begging for my name in the credits. Liverpool’s roar, Snowdonia’s wilds, and today’s Goodison Stadium shoot—sun setting epic over Everton’s old ground, new stadium rising soon in the distance… it’s all here, still growing daily in April 2025. I’m breaking down what this royalty-free stock footage game’s about, who’s in it, what it costs, why my licence rules, and a history of how it all kicked off. Let’s get stuck in.
What Is Royalty-Free Stock Footage?
Royalty-free stock footage is video you snag once and wield freely—no royalties haunting you later. It’s stock—pre-filmed shots like drone sweeps or street bustle—unlocked from endless charges. My Clip Pack #38 – Liverpool City Centre (£8500) drops 240 clips for TV, film, or a quick reel—no extra cash for broadcast or YouTube. You pay upfront for Royalty-free stock footage, from £29 for a single or maybe £3000 for a Snowdonia haul—but then it’s yours, no limits. Stock’s the raw material; royalty-free sets it loose.
What Is Meant by Royalty-Free?
“Royalty-free” is dead simple: one price, no follow-up stabs from the big corporations. A colleague of mine learnt my lesson with this the hard way, after using a clip that made it to Netflix, only to be chased down by a bunch or corporate thugs after the best part of a grand for the 2 seconds of stock footage he used in the film.
I sell royalty-free stock footage, unlike rights-managed, where you’re bled per use or region, this is freedom—Clip Pack #147 – Winter Camping in Snowdonia (£4500) works for a doc, a cinema run, or a mate’s vlog, no strings. I hold copyright, but you get the reins—use it almost anywhere, no need to slap my name on it.
What Is Stock Footage?
Stock footage is your shortcut—pre-shot visuals like the epic Goodison sunset I had today, or a timelapse over Shropshire’s hills. In a way, it’s what you grab when filming fresh is too slow or pricey, but also, importantly, it’s what you buy to ensure cinematic excellence, you go to the best (www.ChrisHomer.uk obviously), with guaranteed results, and no weather checks.
My library—over 14,000 clips in April 2025—delivers: Clip Pack #124 – Pen yr Ole Wen (£3000) gives you Welsh peaks without the bloody difficult and dangerous climb. It’s my graft—two decades from Tokyo to Toxteth—ready for your cut.
How Much Does Royalty-Free Stock Footage Cost?
Here’s the deal. A single 4K clip with enhanced licences? Shutterstock’s £129+, Pond5’s £99+, Adobe Stock’s £79.99+, Artgrid’s £49+—big sites, big variance, mixed results, often over-used and poor quality. My royalty-free starts at £29—think “Goodison Stadium Sunset” fresh today—or scale to packs like Clip Pack #235 – Birmingham UK (£4750).
Hire a great videographer for your shoot? £750-£1500 a day, plus gear, travel, accommodation, expenses, permits—thousands easy. My Clip Pack #37 – Liverpool FC (£1600) lands 67 clips at £23.88 each—no 4K or broadcast TV extras. It’s sweat-priced, not gouged, and it’s seriously unique!
Who Uses Royalty-Free Stock Footage?
Anyone with a screen and a deadline. Filmmakers nab Clip Pack #115 – Wet Glyder Fach (£1595) for Welsh mood. TV producers pick Clip Pack #38 - Liverpool (£8500) for city shots. Social creators grab £29 Goodison clips for fast hits. Ad teams use Clip Pack #133 – Newmarket Racecourse (£1250) for racing vibes. Documentarians love Clip Pack #152 – Long Mynd (£2495) for nature’s story. Corporates—training vids, webinars—dip into Clip Pack #252 – Generic Transport (£149). It’s royalty-free muscle for all. Unbelievable value.
What Films, What Projects, Any Notable Ones?
Royalty-free stock’s the quiet giant. My clips? They’ve hit broadcast TV hundreds of times, probably many thousands—Recently… Manchester’s Etihad in a “Big sports channel” recap (Clip Pack #187, £1295), London Stadium in a 2022 sports documentary (Clip Pack #106, £400). Indie films love stuff like Clip Pack #154’s eerie woods, I’ve lost count of the amount of times these have been used. Royalty-free stock footage is the glue for television documentaries, promos, soaps, and all kinds of TV series. Film, not so much, but it’s always great to see my clips pop up randomly in a film. I was recently sat watching Christmas film on Netflix and one of my drone stock footage clips popped up, always a great feeling, and it saves production companies a fortune!
My Licence Is Superior
My royalty-free licence is a battering ram through red tape. No 4K fees—big sites’ extras can sod off. No broadcast TV or film surcharges—use Clip Pack #242 – Newbury Racecourse (£395) almost anywhere, no sting. No attribution—I don’t need my name plastered on your work. Rights-managed traps or Adobe’s clip-capped subscriptions? Bollocks to that. My deal—pay once, go anywhere—comes from 20 years dodging drones and coppers. It’s pure liberty. *Full terms apply (I have to say that!)
How Awesome My Library Is
My library’s a juggernaut—over 14,000 clips in April 2025, swelling with today’s Goodison sunset and more. High-tech drones grab Aintree Racecourse; gimbals chase Chester’s charm; timelapses lock Snowdonia’s wild breath. Clip Pack #37 – Anfield (£1600) is outrageously unique; Clip Pack #124 – Pen yr Ole Wen (£3000) is a Welsh titan. Urban sprawl, wild escapes, football fever—£29 singles to £8500 packs, all royalty-free.

Transport’s hum—drone shots of motorways, trains, car parks, bridges in 4K UHD. A £149 steal for ads, docs, or fillers—no TV fees. Full terms apply.
Grabbed across Britain’s veins, it’s a glimpse of the versatile meat my royalty-free stock footage provides. Editors get rush hour sweeps to quiet rails—a toolkit for motion. Cheap, broad, brutal.
A Brief History of Royalty-Free Stock Footage
Stock footage kicked off in the 1920s—film studios hoarded outtakes, newsreels, and b-roll, selling scraps to pad budgets. “Footage” came from early film—literal feet of celluloid, measured in length, not time. By the ‘50s, libraries like British Pathé flogged reels—think war clips or royal gaffes—pricey and rights-heavy. “Stock” nods to goods on hand, like a shop’s inventory—ready when you need it.
Royalty-free hit in the ‘90s—digital video and the web sparked Getty Images and co., slashing fees for one-time buys. No more per-use royalties—creators loved it. By 2000, sites like Pond5 pushed it wide; today, my library’s part of that—over 14,000 clips, unshackled. From film strips to 4K drones, it’s evolved—freedom’s the game now.
