On this Page
This page provides links to databases or search engines that enable users to find video that can be REUSED, REVISED, REMIXED, or REDISTRIBUTED more freely than can materials limited solely through traditional copyright protection.
Videos found in these resources may be in the public domain because they don't qualify for copyright protection (eg. U.S. government documents) or because the copyright protections have expired. Alternatively, they may be explicitly licensed by their copyright owners (through Creative Commons, GNU, or other formulations) for free use and distribution beyond what is allowed by copyright protection.
Search for videos you can use...
Fewer videos (than audio and images) are available in the public domain or with open re-use licenses. The Creative Commons search is the best way to find video that you can use. The other repositories on this list are useful to link or refer people to freely available video.
