You can filter by category, license (free and premium), resolution (720p, 1080p, 4k), video type (footage, motion graphics), and duration.

Great interface:

The UI of Freepik is modern, well-organized, and very attractive. It is fairly easy to use. Moreover, you can hover to preview the videos before downloading them.

On Freepik, there are two different types of licenses:

One thing I should mention here, a lot of videos has got captions in it. Well, sometimes it helps, but sometimes it just defeats the purpose of being a stock video. Your actual video might not refer to the one mentioned in the stock footage. So, you have to be careful. However, you can always trim the video portions. Regarding licensing, there are two types of licenses. The videos that are licensed by Mazwai doesn’t need attributions. However, those having Creative Commons 3.0 License, require you to credit the original authors. Check them out.
