Pexels
Pexels is a comprehensive material site. It has copyright-free pictures and videos, and it also integrates resources from other sites. The variety and quantity are considerable. The videos on Pexels are all in HD format, you can download them directly without registration, you can preview them by hovering over the mouse , and you can see recommendations of similar videos by clicking on the video page.
Pixabay
也是一个老牌的素材站了，事实上 Pexels 上的很多资源都来自于 Pixabay。Pixabay 为每一位作者都提供了个人主页，使用者可以关注、点赞以及给作者打钱买咖啡。除了视频，Pixabay 也提供数量众多的矢量图、插画、照片等无版权素材，均可免注册直接下载。
Distill
Distill 在精不在多，它的视频均由认证作者上传，每10天更新一次，每次10个视频（Cuto 既视感）。这些作者风格各异，数量也不多，是否适合就看缘分了，偶尔上去看看找点灵感也是不错的。由于更新频率不高，也可以订阅它的 Email 推送。
Videvo
Videvo 除了有大量视频素材，还提供 Motion Graphics 动画素材，比如大家很熟悉的电影开头倒计时等，均可免费下载。需要注意的是 Videvo 的很多素材都不是 CC0 协议，而是它自己的 Videvo Standard License 或是 CC3——前者其实就相当于 CC0，而后者虽然也允许使用者随意复制、编辑，但要求必须署名原作者。
Life of Vids
该网站上的所有视频均有加拿大一家叫 LEEROY 的数码创意工作室拍摄并上传。也许由于是工作室的偏好吧，相比起别家的唯美视频，Life of Vids 的视频多了很多较为日常的场景，比如忙碌的码头和工作中的挖掘机什么的，用作空镜之类的应该挺适合。此外工作室还有一个无版权图片网站 Life of Pix。
其它
顺便再介绍几个不走寻常路的网站吧。
Vidlery 是专注动画的网站，风格多样，不过大部分画风较为简单，数量也有限。vidsplay 则什么鬼内容都有，下水道、喷满劣质涂鸦的桥洞、电锯锯木头什么的…OpenFootage 则有不少超现实的内容，天空爆炸、鱼眼视角等等，连外星人都有；当然精美的风景视频也是有的。
这次暂时就先介绍到这，应该够用好一阵子了。大家也不妨在评论区留言，分享一下你喜欢的素材网站。
