![]() ![]() Stock footage websites do not edit them in such a way to make this possible (I’ll show you how I do this later in the post.) ![]() Stock footage is not edited to loop - I want footage that can loop seamlessly in the background in ProPresenter. Most of the clips have too much movement and people in them that can be distracting in worship. The style of shooting is not right - Most stock footage sites do not shoot for the purpose of using their footage for backgrounds. I like using clips in worship that are over 30 seconds. The clips are too short for use in a worship environment - Most footage on stock footage sites are not long enough to use in a worship environment, meaning the clips would loop every 10-20 seconds. comes closest to being the most affordable at $200/mo but that’s still a little steep for non-commercial work. It’s too expensive - I do not have a huge budget buy a bunch of stock footage. While I could purchase and download a bunch of stock footage from places like, ,, , or, there are two issues with buying stock footage online. Now that high-quality video production has become affordable and accessible, I think we have an opportunity to use footage in worship rather than motion graphics. Most of the existing motion backgrounds consist of abstract motion graphics. Do a google search of “motion backgrounds for worship” and you’ll find a plethora of options. ![]() Read to the end because I have a free gift for you!Īs I begin my new interim worship leading role at Mission Lakewood, I need to begin building up a library of motion backgrounds to use in ProPresenter. You’ll learn about the gear, shooting technique, editing tips, and how to use them in ProPresenter. If you’re gonna be kind, be kind all the way.In this article, I’ll share my complete process for creating motion backgrounds for worship. Many churches are working with tiny budgets, and the media department is only allocated a sliver of it. So, for people offering free things out there–thank you! But please don’t put any stupid tricks to your freebies. But other than that, I make my loops as best and excellently as possible. That is why I set a small, easy-to-crop-out watermark on my videos–not because I’ll be selling a product anytime soon–but because I would like people to remember the place were you can download free media and get resources for your church. ![]() Free is good when people go back to you because of the goods they received. Strategically speaking, if you have a business, then giving out things for free is discouraged unless it is a means to get people’s information–their contact info, who referred them, and any other bit that will allow you to reach out to them specifically. I was set thinking, was that a ploy to get people to buy the seamless version–hence a ploy to sell you something? Or an accidental glitch that happened to every single one of the free videos I’d downloaded? Projected onto a large screen increased the sensation ten-fold. If you watched it, then every seven seconds or so you would have uncomfortable feeling, not only that the video suddenly jerked before looping, but that your eyes were playing tricks on you. At the end of each video they’d left just a split second (maybe as few as seven frames) of black. However, in playback, I noticed that while the videos were, indeed, looped, the creator of the videos had not made it seamless. I must have downloaded maybe some five videos before I happily added them to my Pro Presenter library. So I found this great site with really beautiful loops which included a freebie section. ![]()
