Add smoke to your video footage with these free stock video clips — perfect for trailers, video opens, or logo reveals!

Shot on a RED EPIC and captured at 4K resolution, these high-quality shots are great to have in your own stock video library. Philadelphia-based director of photography Mitch Martinez is offering 40 unique smoke stock video shots, from thick walls of smoke to thin smoke streams.

These stock video clips could serve a variety of uses in your video projects — composite them into the shot for pro VFX or use them to set a mood in a a film/video intro. Stripping out the black background in the shots is easy by applying a Screen blending mode or a simple Luma key (standard effects in most video editing and motion graphics apps).
