Find, preview, cut and credit archival B-roll from the Internet Archive (archive.org) for a Helios video — public-domain, CC BY and CC BY-SA film plus Prelinger Archives. Use when a Helios composition needs real footage as a plate, cutaway, masked fill or texture. Not for generating footage or editing the user's own camera video.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Archive B-roll The [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/developers/) holds millions of films: Prelinger Archives (industrial, educational, advertising), NASA, newsreels, home movies and Creative Commons uploads. No API key is needed. [`scripts/archive-broll.mjs`](scripts/archive-broll.mjs) (Node 18+, ffmpeg for `clip`) wraps three endpoints: | Command | Endpoint | Does | |---|---|---| | `search` | `advancedsearch.php` | Lists movie items with reusable rights | | `inspect` | `metadata/<id>` | Picks the best MP4, saves thumbnails named by second offset | | `clip` | `download/<id>/<file>` | Cuts only the seconds you need over HTTP, writes credits | ## 1.

Every result carries a rights label: | Label | Meaning | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add bintzgavin/helios/archive-broll@sha256:a4753af7a0392505The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.68b80bb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
