Find B-roll, stock footage, music, sound effects, motion blocks, lower thirds, transitions, fonts, icons, logos, LUTs and HDRIs that an AI agent can really fetch and legally put in a video. A decision procedure over 97 databases, each tested on 2026-11-03: which ones answer an agent at all, which query works, which license holds, and when to generate instead. Includes 37 tested no-key queries, the traps (easy APIs you cannot use commercially, popular lists that break a license), and a credits…
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
# Video asset sources Of 97 databases we tested, 14 have no route an agent can use and 7 more need a login. Several of the most recommended ones fail in ways that are not visible: the download works and the license does not. So route before you search, and record the license of every file. ## Rules 1. **Route first.** If a page says "Just a moment", "Attention Required" or "Security Checkpoint", stop. Do not retry, change tactics or look for a scraper. Use the next source. 2. **A file that downloads is not a licensed file.** A premium clip's 1080p URL answered 200 with no login. 3. **License gate.** Accept: CC0, public domain, CC BY with a credit line, the Pexels, Pixabay, Mixkit Free and Coverr licenses, a paid plan the person holds. Reject: anything with NC, ND or SA, Sampling+, RemArc, Mixkit Restricted, and anything with no license signal. Never guess a license. 4. **Record every asset:** `python3 <skill>/scripts/record_asset.py --file assets/whoosh.mp3 --source-url <url> --license CC0 --license-url <url>`. Paste the credits into the video's description when the license wants one. 5. **Reference libraries are for study.** Their frames never go in the output. …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/video-asset-sources@sha256:0bd909ee0df5404bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
