<p>I'd like to purchase long-duration nature videos (30mn or even 1hr), in order to use them for a personal musical project, and then share on YouTube.
So, basically I also need to buy a license for that.</p>
<p>Until now, the thing is that I only found &quot;short&quot; 4K nature videos (a couple of seconds long, several minutes at most). I can't believe long-duration videos are not available, for sale or even for free, I just didn't find relevant websites.</p>
<p>Can anybody help?
Thank you</p>

I'd like to purchase long-duration nature videos (30mn or even 1hr), in order to use them for a personal musical project, and then share on YouTube.
So, basically I also need to buy a license for that.

Until now, the thing is that I only found "short" 4K nature videos (a couple of seconds long, several minutes at most). I can't believe long-duration videos are not available, for sale or even for free, I just didn't find relevant websites.

Can anybody help?
Thank you

Stock videos are typically quite short. They cannot be long because they wouldn't sell well as the probability that you find a person, who needs exactly this video, plummets dramatically for longer videos. That's why you can't find anything. I can't rule out that there's some corner of the web where you can find such videos, but long stock videos are definitely rare.

I see a couple of options:

* hire somebody to shoot the custom video for you, but this will be expensive
* get a couple of clips and assemble them to make a longer video. You could use cross-dissolve transitions to gradually go from one clip to the next. Pretty much every video editor software can do this or ask somebody to do it for you.
* create a slideshow video from a number of photographs
* loop a short clip
* evaluate if video is really required for your project. The simple fact that you're trying to find long videos on the web feels odd to me. When I come across a long music clip with no interesting video, like 1 hour of waves rolling onto the beach, I stop looking at it after a minute. The video serves no purpose for me.

I can't recommend any option in particular, nor do I know if they could wok for you, because I don't know the details of your project.
