About Our Media

How do I know what format I am buying?

Every video clip, photo, and music track has it's own information window and will tell you everything you should need to know about that clip.

What if I need another format?

The formats we use are compatible with just about every movie, photo, and audio editor we can think of. If you need a different format than the one you downloaded you should have no problems converting the file however, if you just can't get it to work we would be glad to convert it for you and offer you another format no charge.

About using the site

Why can't i see any of the video previews?

All of our video previews are in flash format. You may need to download the free flash player version 8 or higher.

Why can't I hear any of the music previews?

All of our Audio previews are in flash format. You may need to download the free flash player version 8 or higher, or turn on your speakers ;)

Why does some of the video still frame samples look bad?

Most of our footage is provided in progressive field rendering. In these cases the still frame samples should look fine however, some of our footage is interlaced. We do the best we can to get a good sample frame but you may still notice scan lines or a pixelation effect. This is not visible in the actual footage and the videos can easily be converted to progressive scan if you prefer.

How do I purchase multiple items?

Our site employs a shopping cart system. All individual items have an "Add To Cart Button". You can add as many items to your cart as you like before you checkout.

What if I only want to purchase 1 item?

You will still use the shopping cart in most cases. Just because you have a cart does not mean you have to fill it ;) In some cases, like collections, you can simply use the Buy Now button.

If I decide not to buy today, what happens to all the items in my shopping cart?

Nothing! Your shipping cart stays with you, it's yours forever! You can load it up every day, then as you decide what you really need, you can add or remove items before you pay. It is easy and convenient!
