Just thought I'd let everyone know, I'm working on putting together some generic stock video clips for backgrounds or other use in RoQ cutscenes, released under some kind of GPL or public license and usable in a non-linear video editor.
I've done video editing for some time, and I have a lot of old video clips I created myself for this and that, once I get them consolidated and organized into the same format I'll post more info in this thread with a link. In the meantime, if anyone else is interested in contributing so it can all be in one place, let me know.
A preferred format would be some kind of lossless codec for compression (my personal favorite is open-source Lagarith, which it's creator just released a new version of) in AVI, higher resolution the better, although if anyone has difficulty converting from other formats, just ask, I've got plenty of tools for that kind of thing, and can also refer people to various free or open-source tools that will do the job.
I've looked up stock video in the past on the net, much of it is actually sold in collections that one has to pay money for, it seems few people are willing to simply offer a download...
