I’ve been building a library of thousands of images that might be useful under titles, for visual effects and for other things. All I ask in return is to be attributed in your videos as explained on my site:
My images can be accessed from the top menu bar on my site. I sincerely hope some of them are helpful!
The Pexels website is very useful for free and royalty-free images and videos. If you join you can add to their over 3 million items. See: https://www.pexels.com/
Similar sites include https://pixabay.com/ and https://mixkit.co/ (the latter does have some more restrictive licensing on some media). Both of these include sounds/music, pictures, and videos. For sounds/music only, https://www.free-stock-music.com (despite the name, this site does include some non-free music as well).
There are other sites that are sources for free / royalty free media, including some provided by members of this forum; the above are the ones that I have stumbled across that allow one to contribute your own media to the collections.
On edit: I can’t access the mixkit site … don’t know if it is temporarily down, or permanently down.
I don’t know why everyone is pasting links to stock image websites, because you have already said that they are for Visual Effects and textures for titles.
But they are very nice, I am now using the bark texture of yours to make my tree in blender.
Thanks! I created those by mixing my images together in various ways in Photoshop. I did a bunch of fantasy stone textures that way, too. They’re here if you’re interested:
Brand new free texture images are ready and in need good homes in your projects. They’re on these pages on my site:
CONCRETE (Artistic)
FUR/CARPET (Artistic)
As always, you can access them here:

For those of you who have been using my music, all 190+ tracks from my Funny/Quirky/Weird pages are now available in higher-quality Ogg format. You can download them individually or all at once as a music pack.
For those of you who have been using my free music, I’m working on Themed Music Packs in higher-quality Ogg format which I hope will be helpful. This week’s pack is “Fantasy Settings,” which contains Earthy-sounding music tracks for locations like villages, bogs, forests, castles and other settings. The tracks are contained in a Zip folder so they can be downloaded all at once. You’ll find it on this page on my site:
