Stock Search Pro earns its place in the toolfarm library by putting video, image, GIF and icon search into a single plug-in for Creative Cloud, with a royalty-free license attached to every asset. The addition of a sound effects library and download manager extends it beyond visuals into audio and file organisation.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro is a plug-in that lets you search and download free stock assets directly from any Creative Cloud application, including After Effects and Premiere Pro. It brings together four search tabs: video, image, GIF and icon. The video tab supports unlimited downloads for films, YouTube, commercials and other projects, while the image, GIF and icon tabs help you find assets from within your project.
Every asset comes with a royalty-free usage license, so you can use downloads in commercial or non-commercial projects as long as you copy the link and credit the artist. The plug-in also includes a sound effects library, a download manager for organising downloaded files, and search filter settings.
It is compatible with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator versions from CC 2019 through 2023. A free trial is available, limited to the image and icon tabs for ten days. A demo video is available for a closer look.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro is best for after Effects and Premiere Pro editors who want to search and download free stock videos, images, GIFs and icons without leaving their Creative Cloud project.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro is completely free to download and use.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro lists compatibility with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator across versions 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and CC 2019. It works as a plug-in inside these Creative Cloud applications, so you can search and download assets from any of the supported releases. If you're running a version newer than 2023, check the developer's page to confirm current support before relying on it in a project.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro offers a free trial, but it's limited to the image and icon tabs for ten days. The video and GIF search tabs aren't part of the trial, so testing is focused on still assets and icons during that window. Once the trial ends or you need video and GIF search, you'll want the full version. For the latest details on trial terms and how to move to the full plug-in, check the developer's page.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro is listed as free here, and it's built around downloading free stock assets. On top of that, every asset it pulls comes with a royalty-free usage license for commercial or non-commercial work. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so for the current pricing, trial structure and any tiers, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you commit to it for a project.
LetsMotion Stock Search Pro provides a royalty-free usage license for every asset you download, covering both commercial and non-commercial projects. The condition is that you copy the link and credit the artist behind the asset, so the licensing isn't unconditional. Building that crediting step into your workflow keeps your usage within the license terms. If you have questions about how attribution should appear in a specific type of project, the developer's page covers the usage details.
