+## Choosing a video source
+
+Licences were read at each source on 2026-09-23. **None of these names video games.**
+The first three grant use in general terms with a short list of exclusions, none of which
+covers shipping a clip inside a game; see
+[`docs/game-vs-video-licensing.md`](../../docs/game-vs-video-licensing.md) for why the
+wording matters.
+
+| If you need | Take | Credit | The catch |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| General stock footage | [pexels-videos](pexels-videos.md) | None | No reselling unaltered clips or redistributing them on other stock sites; no scraping |
+| The same, a second pool | [pixabay-videos](pixabay-videos.md) | None | No standalone redistribution: fine inside a game, not as a clip pack |
+| Clips with an explicit irrevocable grant | [coverr](coverr.md) | None | No AI training; no releases passed on for people or brands in shot |
+| Envato's free clips | [mixkit-stock-video](mixkit-stock-video.md) | None | Games are left off the licence's use list, though Mixkit's SFX licence names them. `needs-review` |
+| Period footage, films from the archive | [prelinger-archives](prelinger-archives.md) | Unclear | Per film: only films carrying the Creative Commons public-domain dedication are free to use |
+| Government archival shots, searchable by shot | [destockd](destockd.md) | None | Aggregator; FedFlix is usually U.S. public domain but is not certified per clip |
+
+**What is in the shot is a separate question.** These licences cover the footage, not the
+faces, logos and buildings in it. Pixabay and Coverr put those rights on you in so many
+words, and Coverr and Destockd say they provide no releases. Keep recognisable
+people and brands out of anything prominent, such as a title screen.

+# Coverr
+
+Free stock video, plus some music. The Coverr licence is an irrevocable, worldwide copyright licence to use and modify clips for free, commercially, with no credit. It also bans using clips to train AI, not only scraping them.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Use in a game:** games are not named. The grant is general ("download, copy, modify, perform, and use ... including for commercial purposes"), and its three exclusions (a competing service, AI training, using the brands shown) do not cover shipping a clip inside a game
+- **No AI training:** clips "must not be used to train AI algorithms, develop AI models, or serve as part of any dataset". Relevant if your pipeline feeds footage to a model
+- **Releases are not passed on.** Coverr says it obtains model releases but does not provide them, and holds none for brands, trademarks or landmarks in shot
+- The site also sells a Coverr+ subscription and AI tools; the free licence applies to free downloads, and says attribution is not required for either
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Live [License](https://coverr.co/license) (2026-09-23): "Coverr.co grants you an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide copyright license to download, copy, modify, perform, and use videos and music from Coverr.co for free, including for commercial purposes"

+# Mixkit Stock Video
+
+Envato's free stock video, under the Mixkit Stock Video Free License. Commercial use, distribution and modification are allowed with no credit. Stays `needs-review` for one reason: the licence lists where clips may be used, and games are not on the list, while the Mixkit **sound effects** licence names video games outright.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **The omission is the catch.** The video licence's list is YouTube, social posts, ads, education, music videos, "Commercial projects" and filmmaking. The Sound Effects Free License has the same list plus "Video games" (see [mixkit-sfx](../audio/mixkit-sfx.md)). The broad grant ("download, copy, modify, distribute, publicly perform and broadcast") probably covers a game, but Envato wrote games into one licence and not the other, and this catalog does not guess which it meant
+- Mixkit also has a **Stock Video Restricted License** for some clips. Check which licence a clip is under before you download it
+- The licence points to "important limits" in the Mixkit User Terms, which were not read in this pass
+- For clips with a plainer general grant, prefer [pexels-videos](pexels-videos.md), [pixabay-videos](pixabay-videos.md) or [coverr](coverr.md)

+# Pexels Videos
+
+Large free stock video library from Pexels, a Canva brand. The Pexels License lets you use and modify clips for free with no credit, and names apps among its use cases. Good for menu backgrounds, in-world TV screens, trailer B-roll and loading-screen loops.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Use in a game:** the licence does not say "games", but it is a general grant ("free to use", "You can modify") and lists "On your website, blog or app" as a use case. None of its prohibitions covers shipping a clip inside software
+- **What you may not do:** sell unaltered copies, redistribute clips "on other stock photo or wallpaper platforms", show identifiable people "in a bad light", imply that people or brands in a clip endorse your product, or use a clip as part of a trademark
+- The licence covers the footage, not what is in it. Recognisable people, logos and buildings can carry their own rights, and the licence says nothing about model or property releases
+- Contributors upload the clips; Pexels hosts them. For anything prominent (a face on your title screen), check who shot it
+- The Terms of Service ban bulk or systematic copying and scraping, including for machine learning. Download clip by clip, or use the official API

+Pixabay's free stock video, under the same Pixabay Content License as its images and audio (see [pixabay-audio](../audio/pixabay-audio.md)). Free, no credit, modification allowed; the one rule that matters for a game is the ban on standalone redistribution.
+

+# Prelinger Archives (Internet Archive)
+
+About 10,000 "ephemeral" films (advertising, educational, industrial and amateur, in the archive's own words) hosted on the Internet Archive. A classic source of period footage for FMV, found-footage horror, in-world TV screens and retro trailers. **Not all of it is public domain**, and the archive says so in capitals.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Per film, not per collection.** Films that carry the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication can be used "generally without cost or restriction". Films without it may be in copyright, owned by Prelinger, or orphan works. The archive stopped applying the dedication to newer uploads because it "did not work well with many films"
+- **How to check a film:** open its Internet Archive page and look for the Creative Commons public-domain licence link. Of the 30 most-downloaded films in the collection on 2026-09-23, 28 carried it and 2 carried none
+- A dedicated film can still contain third-party music, images or footage "that might not be free to use outside the context of the original film". Strip the soundtrack if you are unsure of it
+- No written clearance from the Internet Archive. Prelinger offers written agreements, and Getty Images licenses higher-quality masters of about 19,000 clips for a fee
+- **Credit:** the FAQ answers "Do I need to credit" with "We would be delighted if you credit Prelinger Archives and Internet Archive", which is neither a yes nor a no, so `attribution_required` is `unknown`. Crediting costs nothing
+- Each film is offered in several encodings: on the three items checked, MPEG4 at two sizes and h.264, MPEG2, and Ogg video
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Live Prelinger rights FAQ, linked from the collection's rights field (2026-09-23): "DO NOT ASSUME that all Prelinger Archives films are in the public domain, or that all of them carry Creative Commons licenses."
