Stock footage shooting is
considered a hobby but these days it has become a full industry. There are
people that make stock videos and then sell these videos online with a very
reasonable profit. It is not about making just one or two stock videos and selling
these videos online but people have made it their full time work to just shoot
videos and then upload online to earn profit. Selling stock videos in raw form
is not very profitable but if you can tweak these videos a little, it can
really increase the profit. First of all you need to choose a popular and
entertaining topic for shooting your stock footage. Different topics have a
different kind of popularity for example if you are shooting a natural disaster
video, it has its own importance from news point of view. Similarly if you can
shoot a public event that has some uniqueness in it, it can be a huge hit as
well. You just need to choose a unique, entertaining and interactive event that
could catch the attention of viewers.
Another important aspect of
shooting stock footage is to shoot it with a good quality cam. This is crucial
because at times people shot their stock footage with a low quality cam and
they end up making a blurred and substandard video. Make sure that you have a
good quality camera so that you can make a high quality video. Editing comes in
next because raw stock footage is not very eye catching as it has lots of flaws
and unattended sections in it. Video editing will make your video more to the
point and more precise. You can crop the unwanted sections of the video and
make your video more relevant to the topic. You just need basic editing skills
because most of the stock videos need just basic editing.

The next thing is related to
making your video more interactive, interesting and eye catching. You can
integrate some innovative features in your stock footage like adding motion
backgrounds, motion graphics and lower thirds. Adding motion graphics will give
your video a modern and innovative look. These animated graphics can really add
another angel to your video. Especially if your video needs some extra
information then adding these features can help you to add that extra
information in a more proper way. Lower thirds can be used to display
advertisement in your stock footage. Displaying advertisement in your video is
not the only purpose of lower third because you can also add some useful
information that is related to your video. You can also add animated effects in
your stock footage to make it more relevant and more informative. Keep all of
the above things in mind and you can make a really cool and entertaining stock
footage. For earning more profit out of your videos, you
also need to upload these videos to an effective website.
