About BBC Motion Gallery

BBC Motion Gallery offers creative professionals access to the most comprehensive collection of superb, unique motion imagery in the world.

Here you will find a wealth of content covering natural history, wildlife, news, locations, art, music, celebrities, culture, performing arts and more, including acclaimed programming produced in conjunction with Discovery and PBS.

We’re also your gateway into many of the world's leading footage collections, including CBS News, NHK (Japan’s national broadcaster), CCTV (China Television), ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), and many more.

Our partnership with Thought Equity Motion gives you easy access to many of their leading collections such as National Geographic, HBO, Paramount, Sony and the Smithsonian Channel.

Remarkably, as vast as all these collections are, they’re only the tip of the iceberg of what you can access at bbcmotiongallery.com. Our site is also the exclusive portal into the legendary BBC Archive — a text-based research tool that allows you to easily and quickly explore over a million hours of footage from the BBC. The BBC Archive is truly one of the world’s great content treasures, an amazing resource with endless creative possibilities.

BBC Motion Gallery provides the creative community of the world with a unique breed of content.

Moreover, BBC Motion Gallery content makes it easy to piece together the footage you need tell a complete story.
