Templates and footage for video editors
Motion Array sells the things a video editor runs out of mid-project: Premiere and After Effects templates, presets, LUTs, stock footage and music, on one licence that covers commercial work. The plugins are the part regular users say they would miss. Buying it by category is cheaper than the Everything plan and worse value the moment you need two categories.

Music and effects, cleared for YouTube
Soundstripe licenses music and sound effects on a subscription and clears them against YouTube automatically, so a video does not come back with a claim on it a week after going up. The catalogue runs to 58,000 tracks and nearly 100,000 effects. Single-track licences are sold separately, for anybody who needs one song rather than a habit.
Our note
Epidemic Sound is the direct competitor and both clear YouTube automatically. Soundstripe's reference search is the better way to find a specific sound, and Epidemic's catalogue is the better place to find something nobody else has used.
