App & PortalPond5 makes it super easy for us to find and buy top-notch stock footage for our agency. The simple search and download process, without any confusing credit or bundle systems, has really streamlined our workflow. Plus, we love checking out the weekly comp videos for a burst of inspiration, even if we don't end up using them.

ComplaintsThe music clip I bought was amazing. The quality was excellent and it was exactly what I needed for my video. But when I uploaded the video to YouTube, I ran into a big problem. YouTube said there was a copyright issue with the music clip, saying I didn't have permission to use it. Turns out, someone had taken a bunch of legit music clips and made a new song, then uploaded it to YouTube as their own original music, pretending to own the copyright. And my clip from Pond5 was one of the ones falsely claimed.
