10 tools

• search_footage

  Search footage.cool's library of 54,000+ drone, aerial, ocean, underwater, wildlife, and travel clips (4K UHD masters on nearly all), filmed by Phil Maher mostly in Baja California Sur (Los Cabos, Cabo Pulmo, East Cape, La Paz, Todos Santos), plus the Colorado Rockies and the…

• get_clip_details

  Get full details for one footage.cool clip: description, tags, location, shot year, duration, people and release notice, collection, thumbnail, watermarked preview, clip page, the master's verified resolution and codec when known, and licensing options with prices.

• find_similar_footage

  Find clips similar to a given clip: shared subjects, scene, location, and shot year, spread across different shoots so the results are not near-duplicates. Use it to offer alternatives or to keep a sequence consistent.

• build_rough_cut

  Plan a timed edit from a description: picks and orders clips across different shoots and locations, sets a cut length for each at the chosen pace, and totals the license cost. Returns an edit decision list with preview URLs for a storyboard or rough cut. It does not render video…

• check_clip_rights

  Screen whether a license covers an intended use for a clip and which tier fits: commercial, editorial, documentary, internal_corporate, digital (web and social), broadcast, theatrical, or ai_training. Reports chain of title, people and property flags, and the release policy…

• license_clip

  Get licensing options and prices for a clip without charging anything: Royalty-Free Standard (from $79), Extended for broadcast (from $199), and Exclusive Buyout (quoted by email). This tool never issues a license or takes payment; quote_4k_license starts a purchase.

• quote_4k_license

  Quote a license for a clip's clean, unwatermarked master. Verifies the master file in storage and reports its exact resolution and codec: nearly every master is 4K UHD, and when one is lower (HD 1080p or 2.7K) the quote includes a resolution_notice that you must pass on to the…

• create_4k_checkout

  Create or resume Stripe hosted checkout for a quote. Call ONLY after the user explicitly approves the quoted clip, the master resolution, license type, total price, and terms. Returns a checkout URL for the user and a private order token. The user pays securely on Stripe; never…

• get_4k_order

  Check an order after checkout. Verifies the payment directly with Stripe, then returns the active license, receipt, license certificate link, and a private download link for the clean master. Requires the private order token from create_4k_checkout. Never report the purchase as…

• get_catalog_overview

  Overview of what footage.cool's library covers: clip counts by shot year, scene category, subject, and location (grouped by region), people versus no-people counts, and pricing. Use it to see what exists and to find valid category values for search_footage and build_rough_cut.
