Essentially, this is something I've hinted/suggested previously and only one forum reader responded in a positive manner, saying it sounded like a GREAT idea. I'm talking about generating a Videomaker Forum Users Stock Footage library.</p> <p>With all the regular posters here, all the hobby people, noobieds, wannabes, enthusiasts, experts, know-it-alls, nature lovers and a host of really GREAT regular kind of video people, this forum could be the center for development of a bounty of video ranging from airplanes to zebras.</p> <p>Imagine a cooperative where all those who donate and dedicate earn the right to borrow and use, commercially or non-commercially, with non-exclusive and free rights footage that is contributed solely by forum participants and members.</p> <p>Is it my imagination or are there enough of us here who could spend time shooting SD and HD footage of this, that and the other, contributing to categories like sunsets, beaches, piers, flowers, animals, birds, insects, people (with model releases, of course) public buildings like old courthouses, etc., landmarks, skylines, aerials, world wide popular and familiar destinations, islands...</p> <p>...or creating fonts, Digital Juice type elements and components...graphics, etc.</p> <p>The list is infinite. The only thing we'd really need to use caution and care about is that all are honest about the contributions they make, that they created or shot the animations, graphics, or footage themselves, and that they have model releases for anything requiring them.</p> <p>Seems there's a lot of this going on here and there, but that here on the forums we have a HUGE group of video people from novices to experts who could help create a really good library.</p> <p>Maybe even organize it such that each month, or bi-monthly, quarterly, whatever, some specific topic, subject or element is established and everybody who wants would work on that for the period, then on to another one.</p> <p>Such a library could be awesome and with the only restriction being that only those who contribute use, well seems everybody would get onboard sooner or later.</p> <p>Anybody think this is a thing to do, or does it plain suck?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pixelflow#post-60118 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:04:26 +0000 PixelFlow 60118@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.PixelFlow.com" title="PixelFlow"><strong>PixelFlow</strong></a> is a great place to sell your stock footage and we have recently added a <a href="http://www.pixelflow.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=55" title="Custom Projects"><strong>Custom Projects</strong></a> feature, which provides a secure workspace for you and your customers.</p> <p><strong>For videographers, we offer the following benefits:</strong></p> <ul> <li>75% Artist Royalties for portfoios of 100 or more videos.</li> <li>Auto-downsizing and native camera format support.</li> <li>Non-exclusive/set your own price.</li> <li>Easy tagging using Excel &amp; Quicktime metadata support.</li> </ul> <p>If you would like to join, <a href="https://www.pixelflow.com/pixelflow/portal/public/CreateIdentityPortlet.do?createArtistAccount=true" title="create an account here">create an account here</a>.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/stock-footagehelp#post-58280 Wed, 05 May 2010 07:10:59 +0000 success999 58280@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>We are a small production company breaking into the documentary field. </p> <p>Question: What are the BEST companies with the BEST quality stock footage (royalty FREE) on DVD?

It seems to me that they like to refuse footage based on things we as shooters have absolutly no control over. Things such as the cameras internal compression settings. I would like to hear your thoughts on this, and maybe some advice on where I may be able to upload my stuff that dosen't take 80% of my work for themselves. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37549 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:46:56 +0000 joelholland 37549@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm with the stock footage company Footage Firm, and we recently released a new website that allows video editors to download completely free stock footage.

Can you make good money shooting stock footage? What should a videographer shoot? Is there an ideal format to shoot, forexample, 1080p, since it's a large resolution and progressive scanning. How would he or she go about selling it? </p> <p> I really want to become a wildlife videographer. Could I shoot stock footage of this to gain some experience, but also try to sell it? Who would I sell it too? And to who? </p> <p> This area interests me because I'm a student who wants to improve shooting skills and in the future become a wildlife videographer. It's my greatest interest in the whole industry. </p> <p> Thank you for any help. </p> <p> Rob G. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wwii-footage#post-37476 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:10:18 +0000 thebergs2010 37476@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> where can i get free (not royalty free) footage from WWII, like all of the videos on history channel?</p> <p>ive seen them but they are all really expensive...but they are public domain? doesnt make sense, selling something thats public domain, but it is.</p> <p>so where can i get it?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/nasa-footage#post-36011 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:34:31 +0000 Rainshadow 36011@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Has anyone received footage from NASA that they requested?

Footage is produced in progressive field and available as Quicktime downloads as 720/24p(.m2v*) or 1080/24p(.m2v*) depending on capture and also PAL and NTSC.</p> <p>*Why m2v? The hd stock footage was shot using an HDV camcorder; this records to tape using MPEG2. In order to maintain the best possible quality it is felt that the clips should be provided where possible in their native format, so in this case that would be MPEG2 transport streams (MPEG2 TS, m2t). However some edit platforms do not directly support the native HDV standard so this would present some users with problems using our clips. To maximise compatibility the MPEG2 TS clips have been re-packaged as m2v clips. The multiplexed HDV streams have been de-multiplexed and the audio (which is not used anyway) has been discarded. This leaves a file that contains just the original video. The stock video has been re-packaged in a different wrapper, this process does not add any further artifacts or degrade the image quality in the same way that transcoding or rendering the clip to another format would. M2v is the industry standard for MPEG2 video streams. Most modern NLE�s, either MAC or PC should be able to read these files. Depending on the edit application that you are using you may need to render or conform the clip for real-time performance. If your computer is having difficulty reading the clips then you may have to convert them to a format that your edit system supports. There are many excellent software encoders and conversion packages available that can convert m2v files to almost any other Windows or MAC codec. Canopus Pro-Coder is particularly good. There are also many free conversion programmes available for download from the Internet. One recommended free utility is MPEG Streamclip</p>
