Simply put, ‘Clip bins’ is the lightbox or project work space for storing and reviewing stock video clips you like or take a particular interest in.

By adding individual clips to a ‘Clip bin’, you store them for later, so that the next time you log in to the account you may resume your work from where you left off. When you add a clip to Clip bin, it is automatically placed in the bar on top of Clipcanvas. Here you can either save them in a new bin, or place them in an existing bin.

Access Clip bins and make all the changes or updates you like in ‘Your account’ under ‘Clip bins’. You can make as many Clip bins as you like, and add the clips you want into them, and also remove clips afterwards. You can name the Clip bins whatever you want, for instance something that relates to the project you are looking for stock footage for.

Let our Clip bins be a tool for creative work and for revising content you or others in your team are considering purchasing, and remember to save the ones you need for later. You can also edit them at any time, if you need to.

Searching for stock video using Clipcanvas is easy. Simply type in the keyword(s) related to what you are looking for, press enter and the results are displayed. Then narrow down the search results using the left side menu.

If you want to save some of the clips you find for later, simply add them to a ‘Clip bin’ or add them to ‘Your Cart’ in order to purchase them directly, or the next time you log in to use the service. When you use ‘Clip bins’, please remember to save them for later. You must be logged in to save or purchase clips.

Yes, you can. Our Clip bins are made so you can use them as an tool for your creative work. Once you have selected clips and made a Clip bin, you can email them to colleagues, clients, friends or whoever you want. They again can save the bin, edit it, and send it back to you. This way you can work creatively with the bins – in an easy way. Please note that you must choose to make it ‘Public’, by ticking off ‘Yes’ when saving the bin if you want to share it with others. We will also be working to improve these features even further.

Yes, our Producers are offering a growing selection of free clips you can download for free and use in your projects.

Stock footage, stock video, b-roll, stock shots or stock video footage are common terms for the moving images that are used in a film or video production, but not shot with that particular production in mind. Typical productions where stock footage is commonly used are documentaries, television series, news programmes, independent films, commercials, sports reviews, and movies.

Clipcanvas is a royalty free marketplace for online stock footage purchase. At Clipcanvas you can search for clips, test watermarked previews and work creatively with your colleagues using our Clip bins – all for free.

When you decide to purchase clips, you will get access to the original clips in the best quality we have, and you can choose between our 18 different codecs when downloading.

All of our clips is sold under a royalty free license, which means the clips can be used wherever you want, for as long as you want, in any media you want – as long as they are used in one production.
