An interview from the 2015 National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas with Joel Holland of Videoblocks. VideoBlocks is a subscription based stock footage site founded in 2012 that allows unlimited downloads from their library. They either produce or license their content from contributors and in turn provide royalty free licensing to their customers. In this interview Joel talks with us about the collection and their newly introduced Marketplace.

The new Marketplace gives VideoBlocks subscribers access to an additional 200,000 hand selected clips. Content creators are able to keep 100% commission on Marketplace sales, translating to prices that are 40% less than clips from competitors. Unlike many other stock footage sources, VideoBlocks takes no commission on marketplace sales, with the company says allows it to pass a savings of about $30 per HD download on to the customer. To date, VideoBlocks users have downloaded more than 30 million video clips from the site's existing Unlimited Library.

In order to buy clips directly within the new members-only marketplace, users must first subscribe to the main VideoBlocks library. Packages are $79 per month and $99 per year for unlimited downloads. A premium subscription of $198 per year includes access to 4K content, batch downloading and Dropbox integration. Current marketplace prices are $49 per HD clip, $199 for 4K footage, and $19–$49 for a template.
