Playlist should start playing shortly and will load intermittently between clips.
Take a stroll through all our categories and clip previews in standard definition by clicking at right on the type of footage you'd like to see.
1080p is 1920x1080 progressive scan, the highest ATSC standard for high definition. ATSC uses mpeg2, and although you can obtain mpeg2 footage when selecting clips to add to cart, for default dilivery we use a much higher bitrate codec, meant to preserve image quality (at the cost of a larger file size). Although mpeg2 reduces file size, QuickTime PhotoJpeg maintains nearly lossless data rates throughout multiple renders (just ensure render quality is at or near 100%). All our clips are always rendered at 100% except for web previews.
Our high HD footage is very high quality. A sample file is free to download and share but requires:
- A very fast computer (Dual Core or Quad Core processor almost required to even play anywhere at full framerate)
- A display screen with 1920x1080p capable resolution. If your resolution is lower it may still play but not at full resolution (however it may appear downsized to fit your screen)
-QuickTime 7 can be obtained for free here
Only fully licensed footage (licensed from all other category pages) does not carry the 'SkyTimeLapse.com' watermark.
