Stockfilm — Authentic Vintage Footage
Connects Claude to Stockfilm's 217,000+ vintage film archive spanning 1930s to 1980s home movies. Exposes text and visual search APIs, a rough-cut timeline builder for assembling multi-clip sequences, and project board management for organizing collections. All clips are restored HD or 4K scans licensed through Pond5 at $79 to $299 per clip with perpetual royalty-free rights. Pricing, metadata, shot year, location, and direct purchase links come back in every search result. Reach for this when you need authentic period footage for documentaries, commercials, or editorial projects and want to search, evaluate, and assemble clips programmatically before sending users to complete licensing on Pond5.
