Artgrid is one of the most unique stock video libraries out there, and is a must have for creative filmmakers. Like most stock video websites, Artgrid has thousands of stock video clips available for download, all for a relatively reasonable monthly fee. Unlike most video libraries however, the clips on Artgrid are highly cinematic, and are available in formats such as HD, ProRes / DNxHR, 4K - 8K, RAW / LOG. Additionally, the clips are not isolated, and each clip belongs to a larger series of contextually related clips which each series containing several clips from the same shoot. As a filmmaker, this means if you find a clip you like, there's a high chance that there are other different clips from that same shoot you can use.

The clips from Artgrid have a curated, professional quality that makes each clip feel like something you'd see used in a documentary. The quality of stock videos you'll find on Artgrid is simply higher than any stock video library I've ever come across, but the tradeoff is you have fewer overall videos to choose from, at least compared to services like Pond5 and Storyblocks. Nonetheless, Artgrid has earned it's spot on Bestscription.com, and is an exceedingly good value for the money.
