I think Jay's ideas are good and the site is good too!</p> <p>There isn't a clouds and sky section of footage, which is my favorite part of most websites like this. There were a lot of good sunsets/sunrises though. Maybe I'll have to shoot some cloud footage myself, but where would I put it?</p> <p>This is on my mind only because I needed some really good blue-sky/cloud footage yesterday for an airplane documentary and couldn't find any, so I shot it myself.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37565 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:16:48 +0000 Aspyrider 37565@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Another note; Perhaps a "level" system can be instituted whereby a member can join but only upload basic material. In time his level increases and he can upload more professional materials. This way some kid can't join and upload footage of a major car chase, something he probably doesn't have the capability to shoot anyway and makes him suspect he didn't shoot it at all. He would have to earn the right to upload better material or in some way prove he is legit.</p> <p>Major companies or producers known to have such equipment and capabilities would not need to advance through the level system.</p> <p>Just a thought...</p> <p>J.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37564 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:09:41 +0000 Aspyrider 37564@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey Birdcat!!!!</p> <p> Yes that is an issue. I thought of this. When you join the system you are assigned a number, all footage you upload must contain that number in the footage perhaps at the beginning or the end. Or spoken. This may verify you shot the footage. If you shot it prior to joining or cannot include it then you may have to sign some electronic agreement signifying you did shoot the footage and exempt FF from any liability. Probably need to do that anyway.</p> <p>FF would be just the conduit to move footage, you as the videographer are responsibility for it. If you sign something saying you shot it and you didn't, then the responsibility falls on you for the infringement.</p> <p>Frankly I think this would be rare but some folks may try to pass off footage they don't own.  You could also have something they have to submit to verify that any public domain footage is indeed in the public domain.</p> <p>Now we live in an electronic world and things like this site once thought only as fantasy can easily be created. Joel is a pioneer here, and the copyright courts will need to adjust to the new and changing ways artistic materials can be shared and sold.</p> <p>If I rent a truck and go steal a famous painting I am responsible for the theft, not the truck. As the receptacle for video art Joel is providing us with a service, WE are responsible for using it correctly.</p> <p>I see this growing into a major virtual warehouse for stock footage. But we will probably have to help police it ourselves.</p> <p>J,</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37563 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:02:31 +0000 joelholland 37563@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I really appreciate the input Bryce and Jay! I think stockfootageforfree.com is a step in the right direction towards a community driven site where footage trading can exist, and I LOVE the pay it forward concept.</p> <p>We have been working on this concept for a while, and I hope to be able to move forward with it soon.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37562 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:42:49 +0000 birdcat 37562@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Joel (and hey Jay)</p> <p>I have downloaded many of your clips and have purchased all of the specials you guys have graciously run (free DVD's - only pay shipping).   And for those I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.</p> <p>I have always wanted to see a clip sharing warehouse for video enthusiasts and professionals alike.  I only foresee a few problems such as bandwidth (all those clips being sent in and downloaded) and the very large elephant in the room - How do you verify two things: 1) That the person uploading the clip has the rights to do so and 2) They have all necessary releases (model, location &amp; product)?</p> <p>As I said, I would love to see this happen and would participate frequently (up and down).</p> <p>Bruce</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37551 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:02:05 +0000 Aspyrider 37551@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Also perhaps a pay-it-forward aspect, whereby there would be a place to upload clips and for each one we upload we gain points to download more.  Or some method to reward those who upload footage so more people will use the service and not just come and get but never add to the system.</p> <p>J</p> <p>I think you have a great thing here Joel!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/seeking-input-on-a-new-video-industry-website-thoughts-much-appreciated#post-37550 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:59:15 +0000 Aspyrider 37550@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I think a social and networking aspect would be good whereby videographers could share video clips with each other.</p> <p>Lets say you are a videographer in New York and you need a video of a riverboat or farm scene. I'm a videographer in Mississippi, I may have or can get such a clip easily. We would need a place to share and store videos for trade. Perhaps also a way to negotiate the trade for our efforts. Also,</p> <p>Perhaps a bulletin board or place to post wanted and needed footage, and a response section?</p> <p>Just a thought...</p> <p>J.</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.

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>
