VideoBlocks, a subscription-based provider of stock video, has announced the addition of Discovery Channel's royalty-free video library to its Marketplace.



The rollout includes more than 30,000 clips, which will be available for purchase on the VideoBlocks Marketplace in early 2016.

The company's agreement with Discovery Channel allows VideoBlocks' subscribers access to content from around the world, ranging from shots of volcanic eruptions and aerial footage looking straight into the eye of a hurricane, to rare glimpses of endangered wildlife in its natural habitat.

"Discovery Channel has captured the breathtaking beauty of our planet in ways that no others have, and including this content in our Marketplace is game-changing for video editors," said Joel Holland, founder and CEO of VideoBlocks. "This addition furthers our mission to provide premium creative content that everyone can afford, and we are honoured that Discovery entrusted VideoBlocks to distribute their powerful content."

"There is always an abundance of great video footage that doesn't make the final cut, and now the unused content has a home," added Greta Pittard, head of content acquisition and contributor engagement for VideoBlocks. "This partnership will bring a robust library of Discovery Access' exhilarating content found on Discovery Communications' family of networks to new audiences."
