What Our Community Says
Still Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
How do I know if Spexster is the right fit for my project?
If you're looking for custom video content, need to hire crew quickly, or want to explore exclusive footage that isn’t available on traditional stock platforms, Spexster is built for you. We serve brands, agencies, and producers who value quality, speed, and a flexible, global creative network.
What’s the difference between Spexster and hiring through a traditional production company or freelance site?
Unlike traditional marketplaces, Spexster combines exclusive stock content, freelance hiring tools, and hands-on project management. That means you can find the right creator, collaborate directly, and even get white-glove support—without hidden fees or delays. Plus, our Crew Map and Portals are tools you won’t find anywhere else.
What if I need help finding the right creator or content?
You’re not on your own. We offer hands-on support through our Video Concierge—just tell us your goals, and we’ll match you with the right talent or clips. Whether you need a crew in Tokyo or a spec ad for a product launch, we’ll help make it happen.
Do I own the footage once I purchase it?
Yes—when you buy exclusive content through Spexster, it’s yours to use forever. You’ll receive full usage rights in perpetuity, meaning no one else can license or reuse that footage. It’s not stock—it’s yours.
Can I hire an entire production team through Spexster?
Absolutely. Whether you need a single videographer or a full crew with director, sound, and post-production, Spexster’s Crew Map lets you assemble a custom team anywhere in the world. You can post a job or reach out to us directly for help staffing your shoot.
How do I get started?
You can post a job for free, explore our Crew Map, or browse exclusive content in our Marketplace. Not sure where to begin? Our team is here to help you scope your project and connect with the right creator—just reach out and we’ll guide you through.
