Allavio vs Storyblocks

Allavio makes customizable templates for video editing in DaVinci Resolve. Its catalog includes titles, transitions, effects, infographics, openers, overlays, social media assets, tools, and video displays. Most templates allow changes to text, fonts, colors, animation, shadows, and glows, and editable source files are available. Templates are made using Blackmagic Design’s Fusion software. Most are DRFX files installed with a double-click; Text Animator instead requires the free Allavio Hub desktop app and DaVinci Resolve 19 or above on macOS or Windows. The free catalog includes a sample with 10 motion graphic titles and a Highlighter Effect, both listed at $0.00. Individual templates are listed at $14.99 USD once. A commercial license is available, and listed resolutions are HD and 4K. Allavio supports macOS, Windows, and web. It says it offers personalized support, including one-on-one video calls and tutorials, for free and paid products.

Storyblocks provides subscription access to stock media and tools for video production. Its library contains over 10 million human-made assets, including footage, templates, music, sound effects, photos, vectors, and illustrations. The AI Toolkit offers video editing, video generation, and image generation; voiceover is available on some plans, and features use monthly credits. An Adobe Creative Cloud plugin brings the library into Premiere Pro and After Effects for searching, previewing, and downloading assets. Maker is an online video editor connected to the library, and Maker for Teams adds brand kits, collaboration tools, and custom templates. Templates are available for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Apple Motion. A free account includes watermarked previews, folders, and Maker video creation, but there is no free trial membership. Essentials costs $21 a month billed annually; Unlimited All Access costs $30 a month billed annually; Small Business costs $40 a month billed annually. Small Business covers one employee at an organization with fewer than 50 employees and excludes agencies, production companies, and broadcast companies. Business pricing is available by quote.
