Website 4 Most popular site for commercial use
Let us go to the 4th suggestion which is Pixabay.com.
This is probably the most popular of all free stock photo sites and Pixabay.com also provides you videos you can use in your video projects.
You can always get a quick preview of any of the videos by just placing your cursor on it. You can find good quality HD videos, an 4K videos available in pixabay.com.

Another useful site is Marsboy.com.
Here you find free stock video clips that are handpicked by experts and that I have simple and safe licensing.
The videos here have two types of license.
Some of them require Attribution and the others have Mazwai license which is there is no need for you to attribute the author.
And all the videos are totally free for you to use, either in your personal or commercial projects.

The last suggestion for this post is Focastock.com. This again is slightly different from the other sites in that it not only gives you free photos, videos, but also social templates that you can use freely for commercial use. All of them have CC0 license or public domain license, so you can use any of these assets without having to worry about Copyright issues. They have a nice collection here.
Unfortunately, you cannot get a preview by placing your cursor on the video.
You may need to click on a specific video and a new window would pop up. Here you can play and see how the video stock footage looks.
