Productioncrate

ProductionCrate is a library and toolset built by VFX artists for creators, offering an exhaustive collection of transparent-background VFX, motion graphics, 3D models, plugins and royalty-free audio. The platform targets VFX artists, editors, motion designers, YouTube and social creators, and 3D artists who need production-grade assets that integrate quickly into professional workflows. Assets include ProRes, MP4 and PNG sequences up to 4K, many with pre-keyed alpha channels for drag-and-drop compositing.

Beyond assets, ProductionCrate provides specialized plugins (via the ProductionCrate Portal) for After Effects and Premiere Pro, a Blender importer for direct asset import, and the RenderCrate library for photorealistic 3D models and HDRIs. A Pro subscription unlocks the full ecosystem and removes plugin watermarks, while a free account grants access to a curated set of thousands of free assets.
