The announcement video needs b-roll, the worship set needs a loop, and the budget is zero. Here's where to find church-ready footage, and the license fine print to check first.
Updated
For worship loops and countdowns made for church screens, start with Remix Motions, which we make. For free b-roll, Pexels and Coverr need no credit line, and Mixkit adds free music and editing templates. Videezy has a big free 4K library if you credit it. Storyblocks is the paid pick for churches making video every week.
Church video needs two different kinds of footage. Worship loops and countdowns sit behind lyrics and before the service, so they need to be calm, seamless and the right length. B-roll fills announcement videos, sermon bumpers and social posts with hands, city streets, coffee cups and sunrises. Most free sites are strong on b-roll and thin on loops.
For loops, see the best motion backgrounds for worship.
The most popular free clips show up on a lot of church screens. Trim them short, add your own type and color, and mix in footage of your own people. For editing, CapCut is free on a phone and DaVinci Resolve is free on a computer.
