CinePacks
CinePacks sells downloadable assets for video editing, including transitions, film effects, overlays, graphics, LUTs, sound effects, titles, presets, and stock footage. Its Master Bundle groups 57 packs and over 4,700 assets, with more than 100GB of footage, sounds, presets, and effects. The bundle costs $300, paid once and includes lifetime commercial use on unlimited projects and future updates to included packs. Individual products use one-time checkout with varying prices; paid products start at 20 one-time, and free sample packs are available. Listed editing software includes Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Avid, and Sony Vegas, although some packs have software-specific exceptions. Packs can be imported into an editing program like regular footage and overlaid on edits without installation. The store also sells handheld creative lens filters. Digital and physical product sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. Download links may arrive 10–20 minutes after an order, and e-check orders may take up to a week to clear before links are sent.
