Footage with a few rough edges. This collection may contain technical imperfections such as exposure shifts, focus hunting, micro-jitter, rolling-shutter distortion, white balance drift, clipped highlights, or shadow noise. Some flaws are noticeable; others are subtle enough that you'd practically need a microscope to spot them. For one reason or another, these clips didn't make our standard collection.
Offered at a reduced price for editors, filmmakers, and creators who see a place for these shots in their next cut.
