• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi guys - Just getting into the swing of video editing, etc. Would like to do a simulated news cast and looking for some looping background footage to use with greenscreen. Anyone experienced in this area? Is this type of footage easy to come by or is it expensive?

Thanks

I make my own loops with After Effects. Why spend money when you can make your own original footage, royalty free?

First way to loop cool patterns is to use fractal noise. CreativeCOW

I also create loops with particle systems, like particular or particle playground. Red Giant TV - Looping a Particle System | Adobe TV

You can shoot out of focus material, like pennies on a lazy susan. It looks like sparkles of light if you blur it enough.

Google "looping video backgrounds" and you'll also find some free stuff.

Best of luck!
