28 clips

Picked automatically from a live search of 23 sites and refreshed daily. Hover a clip to preview it; posters and previews load straight from the source, never through this site. Each clip belongs to its creator: check its licence on the source page before you publish.

Only clips that reach 4K

Every clip here has a frame whose short side is at least 2160 pixels, the 4K UHD tier. That leaves NASA’s visualisations and Earth observation footage, and high-resolution uploads to Wikimedia Commons: slow skies, coasts, forests and mountain landscapes.

Working with 4K

Edit with proxies or a smaller rendition if your machine struggles, and relink to the 4K file for the final render. For vertical video, a 4K landscape clip still holds a sharp 1080×1920 crop, which a 1080p clip cannot. Check the frame rate too: many NASA visualisations are 60 fps, which slows down smoothly.

Hover a clip to see its preview straight from the source; the detail view lists every size with its codec and file size.

Questions

Why use 4K footage in a 1080p edit?
A 4K clip lets you crop, punch in, stabilise or reframe for vertical while staying sharp at 1080p. For full-frame shots that don't move, a 1080p rendition is enough and much smaller.
Do I have to download the 4K master?
No. Open a clip to see every rendition the source offers and download the size your project needs; the master can be very large.
