What’s included with the Professional plan?
With your subscription to the Professional plan, you’ll have everything you need to create stunning videos, including advanced features that’ll level up all of your video projects. Let’s dive into all of the benefits of upgrading to a Professional plan.
Select stock library
With a Professional plan, you’ll have access to our Select stock library, saving you time and money while you search for the right visuals to complete your videos. Never worry about browsing expensive stock sites and paying per image or video clip again.
With Professional, you’ll have over 1 million commercially licensed Getty Images stock photos and videos at your fingertips without any additional fees.
Music library
It’s easy to tie your videos together with our library of licensed music. Sample over 3,000 tracks to find the right fit for your video, simplify your search with our genre and mood filters, and save your favorite tunes for easy application every time.
Professional users also have the ability to add up to eight songs to their videos to match the mood from start to finish.
The best part of our stock libraries? All of the images, clips, and songs included with the Professional plan are licensed, so you can post your videos without ever worrying about them being flagged or removed.
Font library
Upgrading to Professional also means upgrading your font library, jumping from the three standard fonts included with the Free plan to a comprehensive selection of over 40 fonts. Whether you’re seeking a simple and clean typeface for a professional video, or a fun and festive look for a celebratory slideshow, Professional offers a font for every occasion.
Add your branding & remove ours
Bring all of your videos on-brand by removing the Animoto branding and applying your own logo as a corner watermark on your entire video with one click when you upgrade. Even better, you can apply custom color swatches to your videos, so you can match your brand identity down to the hue.
Saved Brand
Speed up your video creation with a Saved Brand, your one-click customization shortcut to consistently bring every video on-brand with your logo, colors, and font. Select your brand preferences once, and we’ll save them in the Design tab for easy application on every video.
Voice-over
Create a personal connection with your audience using your voice. With Voice-over, you can easily record, upload, and edit, all within Animoto. Complement your on-screen visuals with vocal explanations in minutes with Voice-over.
Screen and webcam recording
With the Professional Plan, you can access simultaneous screen and webcam recording. This allows you to show your audience what they need to see and explain what they need to know, without room for interpretation or confusion. It’s the closest thing you can get to in-person communication!
License to resell your videos
With the Professional plan, you have the ability to sell your videos directly to your customers. If you’re a photographer looking to cleanly package a slideshow of all your photos for a client, this is for you. If you’re an agency, though, consider upgrading to the Professional Plus plan so you can speed up the video production process and sell your videos directly to other businesses.

How much does the Professional plan cost?

You can always see our current prices for all of our plans on our pricing page, but it’s important to note that you’ll always see savings up to 50% when you subscribe to an annual plan rather than a monthly one.

We recommend upgrading to an annual Professional Plus subscription if you’re working on a team of creators, if you’re running marketing campaigns for either one or multiple brands, or if you’re managing content at an agency.
