Stock Footage
San Diego’s first and largest stock footage library: contemporary and archival clips from around the world, logged, searchable and ready to license.
New & Unique Videos® has been filming since 1985 and selling footage since 1993. Every clip was shot by our own crew with the best broadcast equipment of its day, almost always on a tripod and often with a Steadicam. Tell us the shot you need and we’ll search the archive for free.
