2 Free Stock Footage Clips Are Already Trimmed

I managed to grab these two clips while we had our Christmas tree up this season.  The hardest part of this shot was grouping a collection of generic ornaments in order to ensure all displaying rights are clear.  All of the ones here are hand made I believe.  I love the heart cinnamon ornament you see at the beginning, I've had it for a while and adds a great scent along with the pine.

A holiday post like this on December 27th isn't exactly that helpful initially though huh?  I could have sat on this a year until right before next year's Christmas season, but the beauty of stock footage is having footage that is out of season so you do not have to recreate it yourself.  That being said, I hope this comes in handy whenever you may need it.  Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, and a happy new year!!!

You can preview and download the clips by clicking "read more" below.  Happy Downloading!

  1. I just had a copyright claim come in on a project I am doing. I used your Christmas tree pan video in my project and a visual content claim came in from "Familyes Channel pegapapelotijeras". Is this anything to do with you?

    1. Unfortunately no I did not do this. This comes from people not understanding YouTube's content ID guidelines. YouTube requires the content to be 100% original, but obviously the person(s) claiming used some of my footage too. Please dispute the claim through YT and cite my site and YouTube video as sources. Ask them to remove the claim ASAP.

    2. To those who get a claim on youtube for Beachfront footage. just dispute it in video manager, copyright claim. Type in your information include a link to your video and provide a link to this page as proof, they will be forced to remove their claim. That is how you do a proper claim on YouTube, you have to provide proof. My youtube is a partner with Video Blocks and this happens to me often. Links are obvious proof. Happy Holidays all. And much thanks to Beachfront B-Roll

  2. I just a copyright claim from this footage from a Russian YouTube account called StarPro Agregassion? I countered the dispute and they said their claim was valid. I do not want to get a strike on my channel. I don't know what to do. They didn't even claim the entire clip? Help.

    1. You should (if you haven't) directly refer to my video either through the YouTube link or the website link. They are in the wrong if it it my clip they are flagging. YouTube specifically stated that any work protected under their Content ID system needs to be 100% original. Stock footage companies in general are battling video creators who are purchasing and using stock footage then making content claims against them. You have, obviously, undeniable proof that the clip you are using is free for you to use. YouTube's automated system has made if unfortunately a little tougher to contest that though.
