Mixkit is a curated gallery of high-quality videos and animation, made by some of the worldβs most talented creators, with all content licensed for free.
Hi there! Mixkit is a product from us here at Envato. Late last year we started shooting a lot of video content for our Placeit product, and decided maybe we should release some of it for free β one thing led to another, and I asked one of our teams to open up a bigger gallery of high quality footage and animation from not just our team, but other creators. Weβre excited to see it online, and hope you are too! :)
@collis you already have my dollars from placeit and now also my upvote for that! :) Looks great! I assume new videos are added without older ones to be removed?
Congrats on the launch @collis and team! Excellent to see a resource of this nature (tricky to host and curate) backed with some muscle like Envato. My biggest suggestion is being able to download a "comp" version of each video.. at a smaller resolution.. at maybe 20% quality. Will speed up the download experience drastically and allow me to quickly throw in several clips in my edit and see if they actually work.
@robhope right click on the thumbnail as it's playing and "Save video as". That will give you a much smaller 360p video instead of the larger 1080p download file.
Great looking site and selection so far. I'd be interested in contributing but am curious if there would be any author credit. Currently, it seems like clicking a video opens a full-size player but doesn't offer any info on the video or its creator.
@sab8a Hey Sabba! Late last year we started shooting a lot of video content for our Placeit product, so most of the video you see right now is from the team. However, we're looking for community contributions!
Awesome resource! The site is fast, unlike some stock video sites where it can take a long time for videos or audio files to buffer. It's a shame you can't see who created each video piece. Good quality and well-shot videos. Please keep up the quality, don't let it get too "Stocky" - Well done. :-)
@mrblairfraser Hey Blair, thanks for your feedback! We do have plans to credit each of the contributors as our community grows & we do plan to keep up the quality!
@collis Looks amazing. Just a question, your license states "Your rights are non-exclusive, worldwide, sub-licensable and revocable. ", does this mean that you can possibly revoke the rights in the future? Thanks π
