We continuously strive to give our customers around the world more flexibility in how they access best-in-class content to create stunning, high-quality creative that will propel their stories forward in unique and fresh ways."
A key differentiator in Shutterstock's latest service is that it is a simplified licensing model where access to new video collections can meet a wider range of customer needs while ensuring their experience is easy to navigate and of high quality. By offering licenses on a per-clip basis, customers can avoid per second or format pricing, spending more time on their content curation and production process.
