Classic Images Stock Footage, Established 1992, has the most comprehensive collection of vintage archival stock footage with a curated selection of contemporary video. We have supplied feature film, television, documentary, advertising, and non-broadcast productions for over thirty years. Our archives contain thousands upon thousands of assets from the dawn of motion pictures in the 1890s to the present day. We continue to acquire new material on an ongoing basis to keep our collection up to date. One of the many key qualities that sets us apart from many other content providers is our extensive experience and our ability to deal with the complex legal issues that often arise in the area of vintage archival film and stock footage. We are a storehouse of knowledge on historical events, entertainment properties, public figures and their legal clearances. Our commitment to high quality, competitive pricing, and creative personalized service has long established our reputation as one of the most respected resources in the industry.

Many projects and productions need a package of rights and/or a custom license. If you need to package rights, a custom license, or have any other questions regarding rights and licensing please contact us for assistance. *Please also note that our entire collection is not available online.* If you would like to get started on an order, if you cannot find what you need on our website, or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us, email us: sales@classicimagesstockfootage.com, or call us: 1 (310) 277-0400

Classic Images Stock Footage uses a “Rights Managed” licensing model and we price our footage by the second. We believe that our clients should only pay for the seconds they actually order and always be indemnified for the footage we license to them. We have the legal right to license the footage and will indemnify you in our license against any liability, loss, or damage arising out of or in connection with any such claim. You are responsible for any and all underlying clearances required to clear the usage of the footage (e.g. music, publicity rights, trademarks, etc.). Our fees are based on the usage and the rights required for your license. Our rates are extremely affordable and are not likely to be matched by most other rights managed libraries. Our rates are negotiable and we can give discounts for large orders, packaged rights, and special projects. Most uses are licensed for worldwide all media in perpetuity. Our license is very flexible and can be customized for your production. Please contact us for assistance or for more information.
