Best YouTube alternatives for finding videos for your creatives

It’s great when somebody can make creatives for you, especially if it’s not very expensive and the creatives convert well. However, this approach doesn’t always work out with video creatives and one often has to make well-performing visuals from scratch. Although dozens of sophisticated editing tools are at your disposal, it can be difficult to find source videos for your creatives. 


Here’s a selection of platforms other than YouTube where you’ll be able to find source video materials.

VKontakte

VK is a Russian social media platform where people post various videos, anime (of the obvious kind), recordings of TV programs and so on. Just enter any keyword into the search bar and choose the video to your liking. However, the network doesn’t allow you to download videos. For that purpose, you’ll need to use other tools such as savefrom.net 

Log in to VK, choose the video you need and copy the link.  Best YouTube alternatives for finding videos for your creatives Best YouTube alternatives for finding videos for your creatives  

Then, insert the necessary URL to the input field. Don’t press any buttons, just wait for some time until the download link appears below the field. 

Then, press Download. The video has now been downloaded to your computer.

Instagram

Another hotbed of video content. You can use Instagram videos to make creatives for running social traffic. Keywords will help you find videos for driving traffic to nutra, gambling and crypto offers, just like the video we are going to download today for the sake of example. It is ready to use, you just have to add captions promising heaps of money.

So, to download videos from Instagram, you will need the savefrom service. The download process is the same as in Vkontakte.

Mazwai

A platform with lots of eye-catching videos that can be downloaded for free. Most videos on the platform feature various cities, countries, and nature.

The major advantage of this platform is that it’s free and doesn’t require registration.

However, you can’t download full videos on this platform, only certain fragments that you need. Here’s what you should do:
