Note: The tutorial steps in this article are from Clipchamp for personal accounts but stock assets are also available in Clipchamp for work and school accounts. The availability of some collections and some specific stock assets can be different between the personal and work versions.
Clipchamp cooperates with high-quality stock media providers to offer thousands of stock videos, graphics, images, audio, GIFs, and backgrounds.
Some stock assets are free for all users, some require a premium Clipchamp subscription to access.
